Efficacy of bolus injections of landiolol hydrochloride as premedication in coronary artery CT angiography.
Insights Imaging
January 2025
Institute of Radiology, LKH Graz II, Graz, Austria.
Purpose: To assess the efficacy of bolus injections of landiolol hydrochloride as premedication in coronary artery CT angiography (CCTA).
Methods: The study population consisted of 37 patients (17 female; median age, 56 years; IQR, 19 years; range, 19-88 years) who underwent CCTA after intravenous injection of landiolol hydrochloride due to a heart rate > 60 bpm. Landiolol hydrochloride was administered in a stepwise manner until a heart rate of ≤ 60 bpm was achieved or a maximum dose of 60 mg was reached after six injections.
High variability in the reproducibility of key hemodynamic responses to head-up tilt.

Increased blood pressure upon standing is considered a cardiovascular risk factor. We investigated the reproducibility of changes in aortic blood pressure, heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and systemic vascular resistance during three passive head-up tilts (HUT) in 223 participants without cardiovascular medications (mean age 46 years, BMI 28 kg/m2, 54% male). Median time gap between the first and the second HUT was 9 weeks and the second and the third HUT 4 weeks.

BJS Open
December 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, Liverpool, UK.
Background: Acute type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening clinical emergency that necessitates immediate surgical intervention with an estimated mortality rate of approximately 1-2% per hour. When complicated by malperfusion, the perioperative mortality rate is reported to be increased by up to 39%. Malperfusion can affect many vascular beds with varying incidence and severity, resulting in coronary, cerebral, visceral, peripheral, renal or spinal malperfusion.

: Transitional attachment objects, such as blankets, play a critical role in childhood by helping children manage separation anxiety and regulate emotions. Although attachment to these objects often decreases as children grow older, it may persist into adulthood and influence emotion regulation and stress responses. Their influence on emotion regulation in adulthood remains uncertain.

Healthcare (Basel)
December 2024
School of Medicine, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia.
: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially serious condition characterized by the blockage of blood vessels in the lungs, often presenting significant diagnostic challenges due to its non-specific symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of the alveolar-arterial (A-a) oxygen gradient as a diagnostic tool for PE, hypothesizing that it could enhance early detection when combined with other clinical markers. : We retrospectively analyzed 168 patients at the University Hospital Center Split.
