Longitudinal Gastrectomy for Nonbariatric Indications
CONCLUSION: LLG seems to be an appropriate intervention for various gastric pathologies. Training of residents and fellows in the minimally invasive surgical steps of LLG is encouraged.PMID:34035960 | PMC:PMC8124009 | DOI:10.1155/2021/9962130

VAD 911: Process Improvement for First Responders Treating Ventricular Assist Device Patients
This study conducted an assessment of first responders generalized knowledge and self-reported competency regarding VAD use, provided an education course, and tested for improvement immediately after and 1 month postintervention. Two hundred thirty-six first responders participated from communities with known VAD patients. Responses indicated poor knowledge, experience, and competency. Twenty-one percent had seen a manufacturer training video, 26% had attended prior training, and 38% knew who to contact with a VAD emergency. Generalized knowledge of VAD therapy was poor with majority not understanding use of anticoagulatio...

3D Deep Neural Network Segmentation of Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Development and Validation for Clinical Trials
AbstractIntracranial hemorrhage (ICH) occurs when a blood vessel ruptures in the brain. This leads to significant morbidity and mortality, the likelihood of which is predicated on the size of the bleeding event. X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans allow clinicians and researchers to qualitatively and quantitatively diagnose hemorrhagic stroke, guide interventions and determine inclusion criteria of patients in clinical trials. There is no currently available open source, validated tool to quickly segment hemorrhage. Using an automated pipeline and 2D and 3D deep neural networks, we show that we can quickly and accurately ...

Establishing the Safety of Training in Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Retrospective Comparison of Outcomes between Trainees and a Consultant Surgeon
Conclusions These results demonstrate comparable outcomes in OPCAB surgery between a consultant surgeon and trainees. This study supports the conclusion that training surgeons in OPCAB is appropriate for trainees in the final years of cardiac surgery training.

Monitoring of atrial fibrillation in primary care patients prescribed direct oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention
ConclusionsResults show that there was incomplete adherence to the 2013 EHRA prescribing guidelines with only 24% adhering to all seven guidelines, and patient follow-up was less frequent than has been suggested.

Sensors, Vol. 19, Pages 3482: 3D Simulations of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Detection Using Broadband Microwave Technology
Persson
Early, preferably prehospital, detection of intracranial bleeding after trauma or stroke would dramatically improve the acute care of these large patient groups. In this paper, we use simulated microwave transmission data to investigate the performance of a machine learning classification algorithm based on subspace distances for the detection of intracranial bleeding. A computational model, consisting of realistic human head models of patients with bleeding, as well as healthy subjects, was inserted in an antenna array model. The Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method was then used to generate simulated t...

Using Dental Pulp Stem Cells for Stroke Therapy
Conclusion and Future Perspectives
Stem cell-based therapy is a promising alternative for stroke treatment. While stem cells from different sources, including induced PSC, ESC, MSC, and NSC, have been investigated, using NSC and enhancing the natural mechanisms is most appropriate for brain repair. In preclinical models of stroke, stem cell transplantation has led to positive outcomes through a variety of cellular and molecular mechanisms, many being mediated by the array of beneficial factors produced by the cells. Recent advances in cellular reprogramming have provided alternative sources of NSC to be investigated, allo...

Diagnostic accuracy of physician-staffed emergency medical teams: a retrospective observational cohort study of prehospital versus hospital diagnosis in a 10-year interval.
CONCLUSIONS: The overall prehospital diagnostic accuracy of PEMTs improved between the year 2004 and 2014 respectively. Our findings suggest that the incidence of common diseases (ACS, dyspnea stroke/intracerebral bleeding, sepsis) increased over a 10-year period. Diagnostic accuracy of different diseases varied but generally decreased in the elderly patient. Regular training of EMS personnel and public campaigns should be implemented to improve the diagnostic accuracy in the future.

Daily Aspirin No Longer Recommended To Prevent Heart Attacks In Older Adults
(CNN) — If you’re a healthy older adult looking for ways to reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke, don’t turn to that age-old standby: daily low-dose aspirin. It’s no longer recommended as a preventative for older adults who don’t have a high risk or existing heart disease, according to guidelines announced Sunday by the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association.
“For the most part, we are now much better at treating risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and especially high cholesterol,” said North Carolina cardiologist Dr. Kevin Campbell, who wa...
