    Abstract BACKGROUND: Although de Winter T-wave electrocardiography pattern is rare, it signifies proximal left anterior descending artery occlusion and is often unrecognized by physicians. The aim of this case report was to highlight the dilemma in the management of a patient with de Winter T-wave pattern in the hospital without interventional cardiology facility. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65-year-old male presented with typical chest pain since 2 hours before admission, and ECG showed sinus rhythm of 57 bpm and >1 mm upsloping ST depression with symmetric tall T in lead V2-3 characteristic of de Winter T-wave ECG pattern. He was given dual antiplatelet therapy, nitrate, statin, and anticoagulant. He refused referral to interventional cardiology available hospital. 3 hours after admission, the electrocardiography transformed into Q-waves consistent with final stages of acute STEMI and ST-segment elevation that barely meets the threshold in the guideline, and thrombolytic was administered and successful. There is a suggestion that de Winter T-wave electrocardiography should be treated as ST-segment myocardial infarction equivalent and should undergo coronary angiography; however, not every hospital has the luxury of interventional cardiology facility. The other modality for reperfusion is thrombolysis; however, without a clear guideline and scarcity of study, we prefer to resort to conservative treatment. “Fortunately,” transformation into ST-segment elevation helps us to determine the course of action which is reperfusion using thrombolytic. CONCLUSIONS: de Winter T-wave ECG pattern is not mentioned in any guidelines regarding acute coronary syndromes, and there are no clear recommendations. Physicians in rural area without interventional cardiology facility face a dilemma with the lack of evidence-based guideline. Fibrinolytic may be appropriate in those without contraindications with strong chest pain consistent with acute coronary occlusion, less than 3 hours of symptoms, and convincing de Winter T-wave ECG pattern for a rural non-PCI hospital far away from PCI capable hospital.

  2. Article ; Online: Prevention of Contrast-induced Nephropathy in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

    Pranata, Raymond / Wahyudi, Dendi Puji

    Current cardiology reviews

    2023  

    Abstract: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) or contrast-induced acute kidney injury has varying definitions, but in general, increased serum creatinine level by ≥ 0.3 mg/dL (26.5 µmol/L) or 1.5x of baseline value or urine output <0.5 mL/kg/h within 1-7 days after ...

    Abstract Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) or contrast-induced acute kidney injury has varying definitions, but in general, increased serum creatinine level by ≥ 0.3 mg/dL (26.5 µmol/L) or 1.5x of baseline value or urine output <0.5 mL/kg/h within 1-7 days after contrast media (CM) administration can be considered as CIN. CIN is one of the most common complications and is associated with increased mortality in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Thus, risk stratification for CIN should be made and preventive strategies should be employed in which the intensity of the approach must be tailored to patient's risk profile. In all patients, adequate hydration is required, nephrotoxic medications should be discontinued, and pre-procedural high-intensity statin is recommended. In patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, IV hydration should be started 12 hours pre-procedure up until 12-24 hours after the procedure. Remote ischemic preconditioning may be performed pre-procedurally. Radial first approach for vascular access is recommended. During the procedure, low or iso-osmolar CM should be used and its volume should be limited to eGFR x 3.7. In patients at high risk for CIN, additional contrast-sparing strategies may be applied, such as using a contrast reduction system, 5 Fr catheter with no sideholes, CM dilution, limiting test injection, confirming placement using guidewire, use of stent enhancing imaging technology, using metallic/software roadmap to guide PCI, use of IVUS or dextran-based OCT, and coronary aspiration. A more advanced hydration technique based on central venous pressure, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, or using furosemide-matched hydration, might be considered.

    Abstract: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of very-high-power short-duration (VHPSD) ablation (70-90 W/4-7 s) with conventional ablation (30-40 W/>20 s, 50 W/7-11 s) for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with AF. A total ... ...

    Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of very-high-power short-duration (VHPSD) ablation (70-90 W/4-7 s) with conventional ablation (30-40 W/>20 s, 50 W/7-11 s) for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with AF. A total of 13 studies were included in this analysis (1,527 patients). AF recurrence occurred in 14% (95% CI [11-18%]) of the VHPSD group. VHPSD was associated with lower AF recurrence (OR 0.65; 95% CI [0.48-0.89]; p=0.006) compared with the conventional ablation group. Subgroup analysis showed that additional ablation beyond PVI had a similar rate of AF recurrence (16% versus 10%) compared with PVI alone. Procedure and ablation durations were significantly shorter in the VHPSD group with a mean differences of -14.4 minutes (p=0.017) and -14.1 minutes (p<0.001), respectively. Complications occurred in 6% (95% CI [3-9%]) of the VHPSD group, and the rate was similar between the two groups (OR 1.03; 95% CI [0.60-1.80]; p=0.498). VHPSD ablation resulted in less AF recurrence and a shorter procedure time. Additional ablation beyond PVI alone in VHPSD may not provide additional benefits.

    Abstract Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize the latest evidence on the hypofractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (HF-SRS) compared to single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SF-SRS) for the treatment of brain metastases.
    Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, EuropePMC, ProQuest, and Cochrane Central Databases. Original research articles investigating patients with brain metastasis receiving HF-SRS or SF-SRS reporting the local control/failure and/or radionecrosis during follow-up were included.
    Results: There were 1100 patients from 7 studies. 616 lesions were allocated to HF-SRS group and 777 lesions were allocated to SF-SRS group. Pooled rate of local control was 88% (95% CI 84%, 91%) in HF-SRS group and 81% (95% CI 74%, 88%) in the SF-SRS groups. Local control was higher in patients receiving HF-SRS compared to SF-SRS (OR 1.53 [95% CI 1.08, 2.18], p = 0.018; I
    Conclusion: This meta-analysis showed that HF-SRS was associated with higher local control and similar rate of radionecrosis compared to SF-SRS in patients with brain metastases.

    Abstract Machine learning (ML) algorithms are crucial within the realm of healthcare applications. However, a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of regression algorithms in predicting alterations in lifting movement patterns has not been conducted. This research represents a pilot investigation using regression-based machine learning techniques to forecast alterations in trunk, hip, and knee movements subsequent to a 12-week strength training for people who have low back pain (LBP). The system uses a feature extraction algorithm to calculate the range of motion in the sagittal plane for the knee, trunk, and hip and 12 different regression machine learning algorithms. The results show that Ensemble Tree with LSBoost demonstrated the utmost accuracy in prognosticating trunk movement. Meanwhile, the Ensemble Tree approach, specifically LSBoost, exhibited the highest predictive precision for hip movement. The Gaussian regression with the kernel chosen as exponential returned the highest prediction accuracy for knee movement. These regression models hold the potential to significantly enhance the precision of visualisation of the treatment output for individuals afflicted with LBP.

    Abstract Biomechanical modeling of spinal load during lifting in OpenSim has the potential for rehabilitation and clinical assessment. In the literature, several spinal models have been developed and validated with movement data from healthy individuals. Although these models are valid for predicting spinal load in healthy individuals, it is unknown whether these models are applicable for people with chronic low back pain (CLBP). This study aims to compare the application of the lifting full body (LFB) model between a healthy participant and a participant with CLBP. The participants performed the lifting activity, and the motion capture data was used to analyze how an open-source model predicts the loading of the lumbar spine. Peak spinal loading at L5/S1 joint was estimated as 3.9 kN for the healthy participant and 3.1 kN for the CLBP participant. The results suggest that a longer duration of lift and lower lumbar range of motion reduces lumbar spinal loading.

    Abstract Objective: Clinical and laboratory biomarkers to predict the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are essential in this pandemic situation of which resource allocation must be urgently prepared especially in the context of respiratory support readiness. Lymphocyte count has been a marker of interest since the first COVID-19 publication. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis in order to investigate the association of lymphocyte count on admission and the severity of COVID-19. We would also like to analyze whether patient characteristics such as age and comorbidities affect the relationship between lymphocyte count and COVID-19.
    Methods: Comprehensive and systematic literature search was performed from PubMed, SCOPUS, EuropePMC, ProQuest, Cochrane Central Databases, and Google Scholar. Research articles in adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19 with information on lymphocyte count and several outcomes of interest, including mortality, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), intensive care unit (ICU) care, and severe COVID-19, were included in the analysis. Inverse variance method was used to obtain mean differences and its standard deviations. Maentel-Haenszel formula was used to calculate dichotomous variables to obtain odds ratios (ORs) along with its 95% confidence intervals. Random-effect models were used for meta-analysis regardless of heterogeneity. Restricted-maximum likelihood random-effects meta-regression was performed for age, gender, cardiac comorbidity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, COPD, and smoking.
    Results: There were a total of 3099 patients from 24 studies. Meta-analysis showed that patients with poor outcome have a lower lymphocyte count (mean difference - 361.06 μL [- 439.18, - 282.95],
    Conclusion: This meta-analysis showed that lymphopenia on admission was associated with poor outcome in patients with COVID-19.
