Summary: This observational study aimed to analyze outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. The study found that CABG was associated with lower mortality and fewer major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) compared to PCI in LMCA disease patients.

Summary: Alternative oxidase (AOX) is a terminal oxidase that plays an important role in plant responses to stress. Recent advances in research techniques allow for the study of AOX in a wider variety of plant species. There is potential to uncover new functions of AOX in plants with atypical life histories, and improvements in experimental methods will facilitate the exploration of long-standing questions. Additionally, the role of AOX in secondary metabolism and mitochondrial pathways should be further investigated.

Summary: This statement summarizes the impact of adverse pregnancy outcomes on women's risk of cardiovascular disease and highlights the importance of recognizing this impact. Lifestyle interventions such as adopting a heart-healthy diet and increasing physical activity can help reduce CVD risk. Further research on non-White women is needed to address health disparities and inform recommendations for primary CVD prevention.

Summary: The need to transition from conventional rainwater drainage systems to Blue Green Infrastructure systems is recognized, but this transition has been slow due to the sociotechnical nature of these systems. This paper focuses on the planning processes behind Blue Green Infrastructure projects in Stockholm by analyzing them as transition experiments. Stockholm has strengths in terms of receptive contexts, human agency, space for experimentation, and a collaborative planning culture, but there is a need to renegotiate the positional power of actors involved in planning systems to allow water professionals to play a stronger role in integrating new solutions into overall landscape and urban planning processes.

Summary: The need to future-proof road transport networks for the safe operation of automated vehicles (AVs) is urgent, but limited literature exists on the infrastructure requirements of AVs. This study surveyed experts and stakeholders from 29 countries to understand the necessary road infrastructure elements for Level 4 automated driving. The findings suggest that stakeholders have similar views on early considerations for implementing AVs, but differing opinions exist regarding constraints on road networks.

Summary: As Moore's law declines, the development of new materials becomes crucial for the post Moore era. Traditional semiconductors, like silicon, have played a significant role in modern technologies but there is increasing interest in layered semiconductor materials like TMDs, which possess unique properties for next-generation electronics. However, there are limitations in synthesizing and engineering layered semiconductors, hindering their mass utilization. Heterogeneous integration of layered and traditional semiconductors presents opportunities to combine their distinct properties and drive advancements in the semiconductor research community in the coming decades.

Summary: Between 2013 and 2017, there was a significant decrease in the use of bare metal stents (BMS) across 18 medical centers in Italy. The most common indications for BMS included perceived thrombosis risk during STEMI therapy and bleeding from prolonged antiplatelet therapy in the elderly. However, the persistent use of BMS highlights the challenge of unlearning old information in order to adopt new and improved practice patterns.

Summary: The study found a risk-treatment paradox for the use of transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (TRI) in high-risk patients, despite a greater absolute benefit observed among those with the highest baseline risk. There was large variability among operators in the choice of TRI. The incidences of adverse events, such as bleeding, acute kidney injury, and death, were higher with transfemoral PCI (TFI) compared to TRI, and the absolute risk difference between TRI and TFI increased with increasing baseline risk.

Summary: The number of cases of percutaneous coronary intervention performed by a team using diagnostic cardiac catheterization (Dx/IC team) and by solo interventional operators (solo-IC) has decreased, while the case volume among operators remains stable. In adjusted analyses, there was no significant difference in the risks of major adverse cardiovascular events and net adverse cardiovascular events between Dx/IC teams and solo-IC operators, but Dx/IC teams were more likely to perform rarely appropriate PCI.

Summary: This study aims to explore whether Apple Watch, used as a long-term monitoring device, is effective in the early diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) and the prevention of cognitive function decline in older adults. By using AI-ECG to screen high-risk patients and record electrocardiograms, the effectiveness of Apple Watch will be evaluated. If successful, this approach could have significant implications on how future clinical practice leverages consumer devices for early diagnosis and disease prevention.
