Article Abstract
Background: It is unknown whether myocardial flow reserve (MFR) corrected for rate pressure product (RPP) can risk stratify events when added to uncorrected MFR. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between concordant vs discordant corrected and uncorrected MFR and incident outcomes.
Methods: Consecutive patients referred for clinically indicated positron emission tomography were enrolled in a prospective registry. MFR was calculated as the ratio of stress to rest myocardial blood flow and corrected for RPP (MFRcorr). Concordant MFR groups were defined as MFR ≥2-MFRcorr ≥2 and MFR <2-MFRcorr <2, while discordant MFR groups were defined as MFR ≥2-MFRcorr <2 and MFR <2-MFRcorr ≥2. The primary outcome was a composite of myocardial infarction, late revascularization and death.
Results: The study population included 4564 patients, mean (SD) age 66 (12) years, 56% females, 60% White and 24% Black. Compared with patients with MFR ≥2-MFRcorr ≥2, there was an increase in risk of the primary outcome in those with MFR ≥2-MFRcorr <2 [hazard ratio (95% confidence interval)]: 1.59 (.98, 2.57; P = .061), MFR <2-MFRcorr ≥2:2.16 (1.50, 3.11; P < .001) and MFR <2-MFRcorr <2:2.91 (2.13, 3.98; P < .001).
Conclusions: MFR <2 is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular outcomes and death even if corrected MFR is ≥2.

Species-specific behaviour and environmental drivers of trap interactions in wild ornamental fishes.

The harvest of animals from the wild is a pervasive selective force, especially in fisheries, where harvesting often targets individuals with specific traits. While most research has focused on large-scale commercial or recreational fisheries, little attention has been paid to artisanal fisheries, particularly those targeting ornamental species. Furthermore, environmental factors such as temperature and oxygen levels influence the behaviour of fishes, such as boldness and sociability, but their role in the harvesting process remains poorly understood.

Purpose: To examine the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR)-guided imagery relaxation (VRGI) intervention in reducing anxiety among lung cancer surgery patients.
Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted at the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Hebei Medical University (Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China) to recruit patients scheduled for their first elective endoscopic lung cancer surgery under general anesthesia between December 2023 and March 2024. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the control group, receiving routine treatment and staged care in thoracic surgery, or the experimental group, receiving VRGI intervention in addition to the control group's protocol.

Background: Standardized spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) techniques for patients with heart failure (HF) are lacking.
Objectives: To compare the efficacy of low-level pressure-supported ventilation (PSV) and T-piece SBT techniques in patients with HF.
Methods: This single-center, prospective, open-label, randomized controlled study enrolled mechanically ventilated adults with stage B HF (Nov 2022-Apr 2024).

We systematically investigated DNEs throughout imbibition processes, specifically evaluating: (1) the temporal correspondence between DNE development and changes in water saturation/capillary pressure, and (2) the dominant factors governing DNE magnitude during imbibition. The signal drift during extended testing, and the gravitational effect on both the capillary pressure and water saturation were eliminated. The results indicate that, when water saturation was below a threshold value (∼0.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate how major US health care policy changes have influenced long-term Medicare reimbursement trends for upper-extremity flap and microvascular procedures from 2002 to 2023.
Methods: Reimbursement data for 28 common flap and microvascular procedures were extracted from the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule database using Current Procedural Terminology codes. Adjustments for inflation were made using the Consumer Price Index.
