TL;DR: Wide variation exists in tracheostomy protocols, reflecting geographical variation, different resource constraints, and limited data to drive evidence-based care standards.
Abstract: ObjectiveThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a global surge in critically ill patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, some of whom may benefit from tracheostomy....

TL;DR: Academic self-efficacy was found to be a partial mediator and play a buffering role between smartphone addiction and academic procrastination and showed that smartphone addiction has a direct predictive effect on students’ academic procurements and an indirect predictive effect via academic self-efficiency.
Abstract: To understand the relationship between smartphone addiction and academic procrastination and the mechanisms at work within this relationship, this study constructs a mediation model to examine the impact of college students' smartphone addiction on their academic procrastination and the mediation effect of academic self-efficacy. A total of 483 college students were surveyed using the Smartphone Addiction Scale—Short Version, College Academic Self-Efficacy Scale and Tuckman Academic Procrastination Scale. Correlation analysis showed that smartphone addiction was positively related to academic procrastination while being negatively related to academic self-efficacy. At the same time, academic self-efficacy and academic procrastination were negatively related. Further, mediation analysis using the PROCESS plugin in SPSS showed that smartphone addiction has a direct predictive effect on students’ academic procrastination and an indirect predictive effect via academic self-efficacy after controlling for age, gender, and academic year. Specifically, academic self-efficacy was found to be a partial mediator and play a buffering role between smartphone addiction and academic procrastination.

TL;DR: Management and preventative measures, including intensive blood pressure control before, during, and after revascularization procedures and staged angioplasty, are discussed in detail.
Abstract: Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a clinical syndrome following a revascularization procedure. In the past decade, neurointerventional surgery has become a standard procedure to treat stenotic or occluded cerebral vessels in both acute and chronic settings, as well as endovascular thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke. This review aims to summarize relevant recent studies regarding the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of CHS as well as to highlight areas of uncertainty. Extracranial and intracranial cerebrovascular diseases in acute and chronic conditions are considered. The definition and diagnostic criteria of CHS are diverse. Although impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation plays a major role in the pathophysiology of CHS, the underlying mechanism is still not fully understood. Its clinical characteristics vary in different patients. The current findings on clinical and radiological presentation, pathophysiology, incidence, and risk factors are based predominantly on carotid angioplasty and stenting studies. Hemodynamic assessment using imaging modalities is the main form of diagnosis although the criteria are distinct, but it is helpful for patient selection before an elective revascularization procedure is conducted. After endovascular thrombectomy, a diagnosis of CHS is even more complex, and physicians should consider concomitant reperfusion injury. Management and preventative measures, including intensive blood pressure control before, during, and after revascularization procedures and staged angioplasty, are discussed in detail.

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to compare the very long‐term clinical outcomes of the 2 methods in elderly patients (>65 years old) with medically refractory paroxysmal AF.
Abstract: Background: Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become another nonpharmacologic therapeutic option for medically refractory paroxysmal AF. Whether this method is better than atrioventricular (AV) junction ablation plus pacing therapy is unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare the very long-term (longer than 4 years) clinical outcomes of the 2 methods in elderly patients (>65 years old) with medically refractory paroxysmal AF.
Methods: From January 1995 to December 2001, 71 elderly patients with medically refractory paroxysmal AF were included; group 1 included 32 patients with successful AV junction ablation plus pacing therapy and group 2, 37 patients with successful catheter ablation of AF.
Results: After a mean follow-up of more than 52 months, the AF was better controlled in the group 1 patients than group 2 (100% vs 81%, P = 0.013), however, they had a significantly higher incidence of persistent AF (69% vs 8%, P < 0.001) and heart failure (53% vs 24%, P = 0.001). Furthermore, the incidence of ischemic stroke and cardiac death was similar between the 2 groups. Compared with the preablation values, a significant increase in the NYHA functional class (1.7 ± 0.9 vs 1.4 ± 0.7, P = 0.01) and significant decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction (44 ± 8% vs 51 ± 10%, P = 0.01) were noted in the group 1 patients, but not in the group 2 patients.
Conclusions: Although AV junction ablation plus pacing therapy better controlled the AF in elderly patients with medically refractory paroxysmal AF, that method was associated with a higher incidence of persistent AF and heart failure than catheter ablation of AF in the very long-term follow-up.
