Article Abstract
Purpose: The public medical universities in Austria (educating 11,000 students) developed a joint public distance learning series in which clinicians discussed current digital lighthouse projects in their specialty. This study aims to examine the changes in attitude and knowledge of the participants before and after the lecture series to gain insights for future curriculum developments.
Method: The lecture series was announced via various channels at the universities, in health newsletters and in social media. Attitudes toward digitalization in medicine were surveyed before and after the lecture series, together with demographic data. The data were analyzed statistically and descriptively for four groups of interest: female medical students, male medical students, faculty members and members from industry and public agencies.
Results: Out of 351 subjects who attended at least 1 lecture, 117 took part in the survey before and 47 after the lectures. Most participants had a positive attitude towards digitalization (85.3%). They improved their self-assessment of their knowledge from 34.4% to 64.7% (p < 0.05). After the lecture series 55.8% of participants considered digital medical applications to be important or very important today and 68.6% in the future.
Conclusion: The study shows that the presentation and discussion of lighthouse projects improves understanding of digitalization in medicine but does not trigger a strong desire for additional further training.

Structured Training of Dermatology Residents in the Management of Soft-Tissue Filler-Induced Vascular Complications.
J Drugs Dermatol
September 2025
Background: Soft-tissue filler injection-related vascular complications (IRVC) can lead to tissue necrosis, vision loss, and stroke. Hyaluronidase-based injections are the mainstay of treatment, though other options include heat, massage, nitroglycerin, and anticoagulants. Given the narrow therapeutic window and limited early warning signs, we propose training residents to implement a standardized soft-tissue filler vascular complication (SFVC) management protocol.

Introduction: Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) may contribute to Alzheimer's pathology at early disease stages. GFAP moderation of Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related neurodegeneration and cognition is unclear.
Methods: We examined plasma GFAP moderation of AD biomarkers (amyloid beta [Aβ]-positron emission tomography [PET][A]; plasma phosphorylated tau-181 [p-tau181][T]), neurodegeneration (plasma NfL[N]; structural magnetic resonance imaging [MRI][N]), and cognition (Cog; Cog) in two cohorts: University of California San Francisco (UCSF) (N = 212, 91.
Bacterial pneumonia co-infection in adult inpatients with coronavirus disease 2019 during the Omicron variants epidemic in Okinawa, Japan: risk factors and clinical outcomes.

Background: The clinical characteristics and risk factors for bacterial pneumonia co-infection in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) since the epidemic of Omicron variants remain unclear.
Methods: This retrospective study included adult inpatients with COVID-19 at four tertiary hospitals in Okinawa, Japan, between May and July 2023. Bacterial pneumonia co-infection was diagnosed on the basis of new infiltrates on chest radiography, the presence of neutrophils on sputum Gram stain with a positive culture, and the requirement for antimicrobial therapy.

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare, potentially life-threatening disorder characterized by recurrent, disabling episodes of subcutaneous or submucosal swelling. Lanadelumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting plasma kallikrein, is approved for long-term prophylaxis and has shown high efficacy in clinical trials. However, real-world data on its prolonged use, particularly from East Asia, remain scarce.

The role of different imaging modalities-non-contrast CT (NCCT), CT perfusion (CTP), and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)-in selecting patients with large-core stroke for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a subject of ongoing debate. This study aims to determine whether patients with large-core acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing EVT triaged with CTP or DWI in addition to NCCT had different clinical outcomes compared to those only triaged with NCCT. We queried the Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry (STAR) for patients enrolled between 2014 and 2023 who presented with anterior-circulation AIS and large ischemic core (ASPECTS < 6) who underwent EVT in 41 stroke centers in the USA, Europe, Asia, and South America.
