Introduction: Rapid treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) depends on sufficient staffing which differs between Stroke Centers and Stroke Units in Switzerland. We studied the effect of admission time on performance measures of AIS treatment and related temporal trends over time.
Patients And Methods: We compared treatment rates, door-to-image-time, door-to-needle-time, and door-to-groin-puncture-time in stroke patients admitted during office hours (Monday-Friday 8:00-17:59) and non-office hours at all certified Stroke Centers and Stroke Units in Switzerland, as well as secular trends thereof between 2014 and 2019, using data from the Swiss Stroke Registry.
Article Synopsis
- In ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), complete revascularization through angiography is more effective than treating only the culprit lesion, highlighting the importance of assessing nonculprit lesions.
- This study used quantitative flow ratio (QFR), a non-invasive method without vasodilators, to analyze the significance of untreated nontarget vessels in patients from the COMFORTABLE AMI trial, focusing on outcomes like cardiac death and myocardial infarction over 5 years.
- Results showed that patients with a QFR ≤0.80 had a significantly higher rate of adverse outcomes compared to those with QFR >0.80, suggesting that QFR is a valuable independent predictor in managing STEMI cases.
Minor Motility Defects? Perhaps, but What About a True "Functional" Assessment?

The function of the esophagus is transporting nutrients from the oropharyngeal cavity to the stomach. This is achieved by coordinated contractions and relaxation of the tubular esophagus and the upper and lower esophageal sphincter. Multichannel intraluminal impedance monitoring offers quantification of esophageal bolus transit and/or retention without the use of ionizing radiation.
