FDG PET/CT imaging and circulating biomarkers of inflammation in desmoplakin cardiomyopathy
Abstract Aims Inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of desmoplakin (DSP) cardiomyopathy, and retrospective studies have described abnormal myocardial fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) findings in symptomatic patients eventually diagnosed with DSP cardiomyopathy.

Background Cardiac arrest affects 30-35, 000 hospitalised patients in the UK every year. For these patients to be given the best chance of survival, high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) must be delivered, however the quality of CPR in real ...

New Medical Schools, Access to Physicians, and Health Outcomes: Evidence From Japan
ABSTRACT We analyse the impact of the construction of medical schools and associated university hospitals in Japan during the 1970s, which was primarily driven by ‘One Prefecture, One Medical School Policy’ (OPOMS). We find that the number of physicians increased significantly in prefectures where a medical school was built, and this effect persisted ...

Genetic Biomarkers in the Risk Assessment of Sudden Cardiac Events: A Personalized Approach
Genetic insights into the risk assessment of sudden cardiac events. ABSTRACT Sudden cardiac events are the leading cause of death worldwide. Conventional risk stratification methods, which largely depend on clinical history, imaging, and electrocardiography, are usually inadequate for identifying high‐risk individuals, especially those without visible ...

Abstract Health‐related social needs (HRSN) significantly influence patient outcomes, yet they are rarely integrated into point‐of‐care decision‐making. We developed a process to embed HRSN‐informed and HRSN‐targeted care recommendations directly into three electronic health record‐integrated high‐use clinical pathways—cirrhosis, diabetes, and ...

This study investigated how radiographers assess radiographic image quality using the think‐aloud technique. It reveals that image quality assessment is shaped by both technical standards and subjective, contextual factors, including patient condition and interprofessional dynamics. This highlights the importance of balancing standardised criteria with

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intra‐articular autologous transplantation of adipose‐derived connective tissue micrografts rich in stromal vascular fraction (CTM‐SVF), obtained using an enzyme‐free system (Hy‐Tissue® SVF) for knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods Thirty patients (mean age of 53.3 ± 6.4 years) with Kellgren–Lawrence

This study introduces the first scoring system based on patient self‐reports, which demonstrates moderate predictive value and is both simple and highly operable in clinical practice. The KCCQ‐based machine learning model for SCD risk assessment in HFpEF presents a promising alternative, providing valuable prognostic information in a more accessible ...
