Objective: We measured cerebral venous oxygenation after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) to explore its relationship with cognitive function.
Methods: Twenty participants, including 10 patients with aSAH and 10 healthy volunteers as the control group, were included. Patients with aSAH were evaluated at 2 days, 3 weeks, and 6 months after aSAH. Each participant underwent magnetic resonance imaging and completed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) at baseline, midpoint, and endpoint. QSM was used to determine the magnetic susceptibility of the cerebral veins. Furthermore, the relationship between MoCA and oxygen saturation in the cerebral veins was examined.
Results: The first scans of the cerebral veins and straight sinus susceptibility were considerably more significant in the aSAH group than in the healthy control group. At the 6-month follow-up, the mean oxygen saturation steadily increased in the aSAH group. Cerebral venous oxygen saturation was moderately correlated with MoCA (r = 0.5319, = .0025).
Conclusion: QSM can be used to measure changes in cerebral venous oxygenation levels in patients with aSAH. During the acute phase of aSAH, there is a reduction in the oxygen saturation in the cerebral veins, and the shift in oxygen saturation levels may correlate with cognitive outcomes in patients with aSAH.

Managing xylazine-involved overdoses in a community harm reduction setting: lessons from Tijuana, Mexico.

Background: Xylazine is a α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, used for sedation in veterinary contexts. Although it is increasingly found in overdose deaths across North America, the clinical management of xylazine-involved overdoses has not been extensively studied, especially in community-based harm reduction settings. Here we present a clinical series of xylazine-involved overdose and share the clinical approach and lessons learned by a community overdose response team in Tijuana, Mexico amidst the arrival of xylazine.

The rapid global spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in millions of infections and deaths, particularly impacting older adults. This study systematically analyzes risk factors reported in different geographical regions such as Asia and Europe that are associated with adverse outcomes in older adults with COVID-19. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we searched five databases up to December 2023 and conducted meta-analyses of odds ratios for 27 risk factors reported in at least two studies using R software (version 4.

Objective: There is a connection between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between OSA-related nocturnal hypoxemia parameters and CMD.
Methods: This is an observational, single-center study that included patients who underwent polysomnography and coronary angiography during hospitalization.

Study Objectives: Home sleep apnea testing based on peripheral arterial tonometry (P-HSAT) is increasingly being deployed because of its ability to test for multiple nights. However, P-HSATs do not have access to modalities such as airflow and cortical arousals and instead rely on alternative sources of information to detect respiratory events. This results in an a-priori performance disadvantage.

Background: Right ventricular myocardial work (RVMW) assessed by transthoracic echocardiography allows to study the right ventricular (RV) function using RV pressure-strain loops. The assessment of these novel indexes of RVMW has not yet been exten sively studied, namely in pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) population.
Objectives: to evaluate the relationship between RVMW and invasive indices of right heart catheterization (RHC) in a cohort of patients with group I and group IV PH and to compare with a control group without PH.
