Handling high-stress tasks in interventional cardiology departments may cause physicians to overlook the use of dosimeters. Therefore, it is essential to develop a model for predicting cardiologists' radiation exposure.

Background: This study investigated the effect of sulfur nutrition, basalt rock aggregate (BA) application, with a carbon capture function, and speed breeding under light-emitting diode (LED) light, on the nutritional profile of potatoes and acrylamide formation in crisp production.

Results: Taurus potatoes grown with sulfur showed reduced glucose, sucrose, and total amino acids, and increased asparagine. No difference in acrylamide content was observed in crisps from Taurus and Lady Claire cultivars, with either sulfur or BA application.

The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has brought renewed attention to thrombotic complications arising from respiratory viral infections, driven by inflammatory responses and activation of the coagulation cascade. While influenza typically resolves on its own, information about its thromboembolic risks remains limited. The persistence of symptoms and the similarity between influenza symptoms and those of pulmonary embolism (PE) often lead to diagnostic delays, which can significantly impact patient outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • The subcutaneous implantable defibrillator (S-ICD) is a newer option compared to traditional transvenous ICDs, aimed at reducing complications related to lead placement, and this study analyzes its outcomes in Iranian patients.
  • Conducted between October 2015 and June 2022, the study involved 223 patients who met ICD criteria, focusing on early post-implant complications and long-term results, with an average patient age of 45 years, predominantly male (79.4%).
  • Results showed that most patients (68.6%) had S-ICD for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death, with only a few complications reported, such as suboptimal lead positions (3.1%) and pocket hematoma

 Medical residents are among the most important and influential members of the medical team and the level of their knowledge regarding potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is a good predictor of the ability to prevent the occurrence of DDIs, as well as safe and rational prescribing in inpatient settings. This survey was designed to evaluate internal medicine and cardiology residents' knowledge and opinion toward DDIs and to determine different sources of DDI information used by this population.  This cross-sectional knowledge attitude practice (KAP) questionnaire study was conducted in Shiraz, Iran.
