Introduction:Prolonged cardiac monitoring (PCM) substantially improves the detection of subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) among patients with history of ischemic stroke (IS), leading to prompt initiation of anticoagulants. However, whether PCM may lead to IS prevention remains equivocal.Patients and methods:In this systematic review and meta-analysis, randomized-controlled clinical trials (RCTs) reporting IS rates among patients with known cardiovascular risk factors, including but not limited to history of IS, who received PCM for more than 7 days versus...

Performance evaluation of localization algorithms in stochastic optical localization nanoscopy is necessary and important to applications. By simulation, a localization algorithm estimates a set of emitter locations from a simulated data movie, whose error in comparison with the set of true locations indicates the performance of the algorithm. Since the partition of estimated locations is unknown, the sample root mean square error (RMSE) cannot be computed and the universal root mean square minimum distance (RMSMD)...

Supplemental material, sj-docx-1-cho-10.1177_18632521221137391 for Distal femoral extension osteotomy and patellar tendon advancement or shortening in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy: A modified Delphi consensus study and literature review by Erich Rutz, Tom F Novacheck, Thomas Dreher, Jon R Davids, James McCarthy, Robert M Kay, Benjamin J Shore, M Wade Shrader, Matthew Veerkamp, Hank Chambers, Unni Narayanan, Kristan Pierz, Jason Rhodes, Jeffrey Shilt, Tim Theologis, Anja Van Campenhout and Kerr Graham in Journal of Children's Orthopaedics

Purpose:In children with cerebral palsy, flexion deformities of the knee can be treated with a distal femoral extension osteotomy combined with either patellar tendon advancement or patellar tendon shortening. The purpose of this study was to establish a consensus through expert orthopedic opinion, using a modified Delphi process to describe the surgical indications for distal femoral extension osteotomy and patellar tendon advancement/patellar tendon shortening. A literature review was also conducted to summarize the recent literature...

Abstract Background Home-dwelling frail older adults are often faced with multimorbidity and complex care needs, requiring health and social care systems that support frail older adults to age in place. The objective of this paper was to investigate the types of formal health and social care as well as informal care and social support used by home-dwelling frail older adults; whether they perceive their support as sufficient; and their experience with and preferences for care...

Various methods exist for the induction of labor (IOL), and there is limited consensus as to optimal methods. Off-label misoprostol is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for IOL but preparing it into doses suitable for IOL lacks precision, with potential adverse outcomes if dosing is inaccurate. This study explores potential outcomes and costs associated with increased uptake of a low-dose (25 µg) oral misoprostol formulation (Angusta; Norgine BV, Amsterdam) approved for IOL, in...
