Tomography
December 2024
Centre for Research and Development, Uppsala University, Region Gävleborg, SE 801 88 Gävle, Sweden.
Background: This study aimed to assess the interobserver variability of semi-automatic diameter and volumetric measurements versus manual diameter measurements for small lung nodules identified on computed tomography scans.
Methods: The radiological patient database was searched for CT thorax examinations with at least one noncalcified solid nodule (∼3-10 mm). Three radiologists with four to six years of experience evaluated each nodule in accordance with the Fleischner Society guidelines using standard diameter measurements, semi-automatic lesion diameter measurements, and volumetric assessments.

December 2024
Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, Laboratório Clínico, São Paulo - SP, Brazil.
Background: In Acute Coronary Syndrome without ST-segment elevation, the use of high-sensitivity troponins in rapid protocols is considered the gold standard for diagnostic exclusion/confirmation, in conjunction with clinical stratification. The biggest concern regarding the techniques for troponin evaluation is the time required between collection and delivery of the result.
Objective: The objective of the present study is the clinical/laboratory validation of a POCT device for TnI.
Cardiovasc Diabetol
December 2024
Saw Swee Hock School of Public Heath, National University of Singapore, Singapore, 117549, Republic of Singapore.
Background: Data on the relationship between potassium intake and major cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with diabetes are scarce. We aim to study the association between estimated potassium intake and risk of MACE in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: The discovery cohort consisted of 1572 participants with type 2 diabetes from a secondary hospital.
Eur J Radiol
December 2024
Department of Biostatistics, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA.
Rationale And Objectives: To investigate the effect of ComBat harmonization on the stability of myocardial radiomic features derived from multi-energy CT reconstructions.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 205 patients who underwent dual-energy chest CTA at a single center. The data was reconstructed into multiple spectral reconstructions (mixed energy simulating standard 120 Kv acquisition and monoenergetic images ranging from 40 to 190 keV in increments of 10).
BMC Cardiovasc Disord
December 2024
Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China.
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity globally, with a high incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) post-primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). The DETERMINE score, derived from electrocardiographic (ECG) markers, has shown promise as a predictor of adverse outcomes, but its clinical utility requires further validation.
Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of the DETERMINE score for MACE and provide early clinical warnings for high-risk patients.
