To describe the impact of delayed call time for chest pain in the salvage of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients and its associated independent risk factors, and to identify risk factors associated with cumulative morbidity and mortality in STEMI patients at 4 years after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Retrospective analysis of 398 patients diagnosed with STEMI and treated with emergency PCI within 24 hours of symptom onset in Fuyang People's Hospital from April 2018 to April 2021. The enrolled patients were divided into ≤60 minutes group (193 cases), and > 60 minutes group (205 cases), according to the delayed call time of patients with chest pain. Analysis of basic clinical data, rescue time, and major cardiovascular adverse events in the 2 groups. Multifactorial logistic regression analysis of independent correlates of delayed chest pain calls and Cox proportional risk regression modeling of risk factors for cumulative morbidity and mortality at 4 years after surgery. Compared to the delayed call time ≤ 60 minutes group, the > 60 minutes group had a higher proportion of females, a history of diabetes, rural remote areas, and farmer occupation ( < .05). Binary logistic regression analysis shows the history of diabetes and female as independent risk factors for delayed call time >60 minutes for chest pain. In the delayed call time ≤60 minutes group, the time from symptom onset-to-balloon (S0-to-B) and from symptom onset-to-first medical contact (SO-to-FMC) were smaller than in the delayed call time >60 minutes group ( < .05). The sum of postinfarction angina and major cardiovascular adverse events was lower in the group with delayed call time ≤60 minutes than in the group with delayed call time >60 minutes ( < .05). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve and the survival curve without the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events were statistically significant in both groups ( < .05). Multifactorial Cox regression analysis showed that delayed call time for chest pain >60 minutes, left main + 3 branch lesions, and cardiac function Killip ≥ III were all risk factors for cumulative morbidity and mortality at 4 years after PCI in patients with STEMI. Delayed call time for chest pain >60 minutes, left main + 3 branch lesions, and cardiac function Killip ≥ III are all risk factors for cumulative morbidity and mortality in STEMI patients at 4 years after PCI. Reducing the delayed call time for chest pain can improve the long-term prognosis of patients.

Arterial spin labelling (ASL) enables non-invasive quantification of regional brain perfusion using MRI. ASL was used in the Reducing Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease through Angiotensin TaRgeting (RADAR) multi-centre trial to pilot the assessment of the effects of the anti-hypertension drug losartan on cerebral blood flow (CBF). In the multi-centre setting, disparities in ASL implementation on scanners from different manufacturers lead to inherent differences in measured CBF and its associated parameters (e.

The effect of the timing of endoscopic detorsion on clinical outcomes in patients with sigmoid volvulus.

Gastrointest Endosc

The Gonczarowski Family Institute of Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases, Shamir (Assaf Harofeh) Medical Center, Zerifin, Israel and The Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel. Electronic address:

Background And Aims: Guidelines recommend endoscopic detorsion in cases of sigmoid volvulus without ischemia or perforation, but the timing in which this should be performed is unclear.

Methods: Admissions for sigmoid volvulus in which endoscopic detorsion was performed between 1/2010-4/2024 were retrospectively reviewed. The timing was calculated as the time between when the confirmatory radiologic exam and endoscopic detorsion were performed.

PEN-FAST-ED: Utilizing the PEN-FAST decision tool to guide antibiotic prescribing in the emergency department.

Am J Emerg Med

January 2025

Department of Pharmacy, Sarasota Memorial Health Care System, 1700 S Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34239, USA.

Background: Patient-reported penicillin allergies are frequently encountered in the emergency department (ED), which often lead to non-beta-lactam antibiotic use despite beta-lactams' place as first-line therapy in most bacterial infections. The PEN-FAST clinical decision tool was developed and validated to identify patients with a low risk of true penicillin allergies that do not require formal skin testing for rechallenging. The tool consists of four questions that add up to a total score ranging from 0 to 5.

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a progressive autoimmune disease often identified in childhood or adolescence, with early stages detectable through pre-diabetic markers such as autoantibodies and subclinical beta-cell dysfunction. The identification of the pre-T1D stage is critical for preventing complications, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, and for enabling timely interventions that may alter disease progression. This review examines the multifaceted approach to managing T1D risk in adolescents and teens, emphasizing early detection, nutritional interventions, beta-cell preservation strategies, and psychosocial support.
