Screening for Atrial Fibrillation by Digital Health Technology in Older People in Homecare Settings: A Feasibility Trial
CONCLUSION: This feasibility study highlights the challenges of enrolling older people receiving homecare services in clinical trials. However, all included participants performed an interpretable and prolonged continuous ECG recording with a digital ECG patch device. This trial is registered with NCT04700865.PMID:38567031 | PMC:PMC10985273 | DOI:10.1155/2024/4080415 (Source: International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications)

GSE227165 Whole-transcriptome sequencing analysis of streptozocin-induced diabetic and non-diabetic control rats
Contributors : Yi Cui ; Nuo Xu ; Jianzhang HuSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Rattus norvegicusDiabetes mellitus is a complex metabolic disorder. Long-term hyperglycemia may induce diabetic keratopathy, which is mainly characterized by decreased tear secretion, damaged innervation, weakened cell junctions, and impaired wound healing responses. To investigate the differential expressed genes in the regulation of diabetic keratopathy, we established streptozocin-induced diabetic and non-diabetic control male Brown Norway rats. Total RNA was extracted from the corneal epithelium ra...

Validation of the Scandinavian guidelines for minor and moderate head trauma in children: protocol for a pragmatic, prospective, observational, multicentre cohort study
Introduction
Mild traumatic brain injury is common in children and it can be challenging to accurately identify those in need of urgent medical intervention. The Scandinavian guidelines for management of minor and moderate head trauma in children, the Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee guideline 2016 (SNC16), were developed to aid in risk stratification and decision-making in Scandinavian emergency departments (EDs). This guideline has been validated externally with encouraging results, but internal validation in the intended healthcare system is warranted prior to broad clinical implementation.
Objective
We aim to valida...

Assessing regional intracortical myelination in schizophrenia spectrum and bipolar disorders using the optimized T1w/T2w-ratio
CONCLUSIONS: While we found no evidence of reduced intracortical myelin in SCZ or BPD relative to CTR, different regional age trajectories in SCZ may suggest a promyelinating effect of antipsychotic medication.PMID:38563302 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291724000503 (Source: Psychological Medicine)
