Most participants worked in tertiary centres (56%). All participants had access to echocardiography, while 79 and 75% had access to cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), respectively. Less than half (47%) had access to myocardial biopsy, and only 5% used this test routinely. CMR was performed within 7 days of presentation in 73% of cases. Non-ischaemic late gadolinium enhancement (LGE, 88%) and high-signal intensity in T2-weighted images (74%) were the most used diagnostic criteria for AM. CCTA was preferred to coronary angiography by 47% of participants to exclude coronary artery disease. Systematic prescription of beta-blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors was reported by 38 and 32% of participants. Around a quarter of participants declared considering LGE burden as a reason to treat. Most participants (90%) reported performing a follow-up echocardiogram, while 63% scheduled a follow-up CMR. The main reason for treatment discontinuation was improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction (89%), followed by LGE regression (60%). In two-thirds of participants, the decision to resume high-intensity sport was influenced by residual LGE.Conclusion This survey confirms the high utilization of cardiac imaging in AM but reveals major differences in how cardiac imaging is used and how the condition is managed between centres, underlining the need for recommendation statements in this topic. Graphical Abstract EACVI survey on cardiovascular imaging in clinical practice for acute myocarditis patients. CAD, coronary artery disease; CCTA, cardiac computed tomography angiography; CMR, cardiac magnetic resonance; GLS, global longitudinal strain; ICCU, intensive cardiac care unit; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; WMA, wall motion abnormalities.

We aimed to investigate the association of SARS-CoV-2 infection and its complications with cancer in a large autopsy series and the role of COVID-19 in the fatal sequence leading to death. A total of 2641 adult autopsies were investigated, 539 of these were positive for SARS-CoV-2. Among the total number of patients analyzed, 829 had active cancer. Overall, the cohort included 100 patients who simultaneously had cancer and SARS-CoV-2 infection. The course of COVID-19 was less severe in cancer patients, including a significantly lower incidence of viral and bacterial pneumonia, occurring more frequently as a contributory disease or coexisting morbidity, or as SARS-CoV-2 positivity without viral disease. SARS-CoV-2 positivity was more frequent among non-metastatic than metastatic cancer cases, and in specific tumor types including hematologic malignancies. COVID-19 was more frequently found to be directly involved in the fatal sequence in patients undergoing active anticancer therapy, but less frequently in perioperative status, suggesting that the underlying malignancy and consequent surgery are more important factors leading to death perioperatively than viral disease. The course of COVID-19 in cancer patients was milder and balanced during the pandemic. This may be due to relative immunosuppressed status, and the fact that even early/mild viral infections can easily upset their condition, leading to death from their underlying cancer or its complications.

Each survey monitors the presence of aquatic intermediate snail hosts of medical and veterinary importance. In March 2023, the alien lymnaeid species Pseudosuccinea columella was encountered for the first time in the surveys, in Nsanje District. This species identity was later confirmed upon DNA analysis of mitochondrial ribosomal 16S sequences. In July 2023, P. columella was also noted at single sites within Mangochi and Chikwawa Districts, and again in Nsanje District, with an additional location observed. Of particular importance, our sampled location in Mangochi District was directly connected to Lake Malawi, which expands the species list of invasive molluscs in this lake. While P. columella is a well-known intermediate snail host for human and animal fascioliasis, screening collected snails for trematode cercariae, alongside molecular xenomonitoring, did not yield equivocal evidence of active fluke infection. However, the newly recognized presence of this alien intermediate snail host within Lake Malawi, and along the Shire River Valley, flags a new concern in altered local transmission potential for human and animal fascioliasis.

Incidence of postoperative bleeding requiring intervention and intraoperative electrocoagulation during Thulium laser enucleation of the prostate JF - AKTUELLE UROLOGIE J2 - AKTUEL UROL PY - 2024 PG - 8 SN - 0001-7868 DO - 10.1055/a-2287-4987 UR - https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34833136 ID - 34833136 AB - The need for intervention due to postoperative bleeding represents a significant complication in Thulium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (ThuLEP). This study aimed to retrospectively analyse this complication in the treatment of benign prostatic enlargement. This study focuses on investigating potential causative factors for postoperative bleeding requiring intervention as well as the use of intraoperative electrocoagulation. A total of 503 ThuLEP procedures performed between 08/2021 and 07/2022 were examined. Postoperatively, 4.2% (n=21) of patients experienced bleeding requiring intervention. Study data revealed a significant association between these instances of bleeding and a high prostate volume (p=0.004), high enucleation weight (p=0.004), and intraoperative electrocoagulation (p=0.048). In total, intraoperative electrocoagulation was applied in 41.2% (n=207) of cases. In these cases, statistically significant factors leading to the application of electrocoagulation included intraoperative capsule perforation (p=0.005) and high enucleation weight (p=0.002).

Concurrently it introduces complex stress dynamics and ergonomic challenges regarding the human–robot interface and interaction. This study explores the stress-related aspects of RAMIS, using the da Vinci XI Surgical System and the Sea Spikes model as a standard skill training phantom to establish a link between technological advancement and human factors in RAMIS environments. By employing different physiological and kinematic sensors for heart rate variability, hand movement tracking, and posture analysis, this research aims to develop a framework for quantifying the stress and ergonomic loads applied to surgeons. Preliminary findings reveal significant correlations between stress levels and several of the skill-related metrics measured by external sensors or the SURG-TLX questionnaire. Furthermore, early analysis of this preliminary dataset suggests the potential benefits of applying machine learning for surgeon skill classification and stress analysis. This paper presents the initial findings, identified correlations, and the lessons learned from the clinical setup, aiming to lay down the cornerstones for wider studies in the fields of clinical situation awareness and attention computing.
