Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening disease and the third most frequent cardiovascular cause of death after stroke and myocardial infarction. The annual incidence is increasing. The recently published 2019 guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology integrate numerous new study findings and provide updated diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms. A standardized diagnostic approach based on clinical probability, D-dimer levels, compression sonography of the leg veins and (if necessary) CTPA should also be applied in pregnant patients with suspected PE. Assessment of right ventricular function on imaging should be part of risk stratification in every patient; the RV/LV diameter ratio can be assessed on CTPA performed for diagnosis of PE. Low risk patients are eligible for home treatment if no other reasons for hospitalization are present. Treatment decision for hemodynamically unstable patients should be made by interdisciplinary Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams. NOACs are recommended as the therapy of choice for anticoagulation of patients with PE. The duration of anticoagulation should be at least 3 months and prolonged anticoagulation should be considered for all patients without a strong triggering reversible risk factor.The complex curved contours of the zygomatic regions are difficult to analyze. Therefore, a better evaluation medium must be developed. We aimed to examine and summarize the morphological characteristics of the zygomatic region by using a moiré pattern map and computer algorithm. In this cross-sectional study, we collected three-dimensional images of the facial contours of 251 Han Chinese youth and established a morphological moiré map database. Clustering analysis using a computer algorithm was applied to obtain the zygomatic morphologies for classification. Aesthetic evaluation was performed to summarize the characteristics of the zygomatic types and provide reference for the preoperative morphological design of the midface. Zygomatic regions were morphologically classified into five types. Each type had its typical feature in the moiré pattern map. The moiré stripes in the left zygomatic region formed an “Ω” shape outward and downward in type 1, and they tended to be diagonal like “\\\” in type 2, smoothly curved like “)))” in type 3, vertical like “|||” in type 4, and diagonal like “///” in type 5. The aesthetic evaluation outcome indicated that the integrally flat zygoma (type 4) was more aesthetically pleasing among males, and the integrally prominent zygoma (type 3) was more aesthetically pleasing among females. Five morphological contour types of the zygoma were classified among the Chinese Han males and females based on the simulated moiré pattern. check details This morphological classification would aid in preparing a guide for clinical diagnosis and surgical planning.A combination of yoga and blood flow restriction, each of which elicits marked pressor responses, may further increase blood pressure and myocardial oxygen demand. To determine the impact of a combination of yoga and blood flow restriction on hemodynamic responses, twenty young healthy participants performed 20 yoga poses with/without blood flow restriction bands placed on both legs. At baseline, there were no significant differences in any of the variables between the blood flow restriction and non-blood flow restriction conditions. Blood pressure and heart rate increased in response to the various yoga poses (p less then 0.01) but were not different between the blood flow restriction and non-blood flow restriction conditions. Rate-pressure products, an index of myocardial oxygen demand, increased significantly during yoga exercises with no significant differences between the two conditions. Rating of perceived exertion was not different between the conditions. Blood lactate concentration was significantly greater after performing yoga with blood flow restriction bands (p=0.007). Cardio-ankle vascular index, an index of arterial stiffness, decreased similarly after yoga exercise in both conditions while flow-mediated dilation remained unchanged. In conclusion, the use of lower body blood flow restriction bands in combination with yoga did not result in additive or synergistic hemodynamic and pressor responses.Side differences in the limb symmetry index during hop tests have been rarely investigated in uninjured athletes. Unknown differences can result in false interpretation of hop tests and affect return to sport decision. Hypothesis was that un-injured athletes in Judo and Taekwondo have side differences in hop test and that asymmetries can be predicted based on the athletes fighting display. Differences, risk relationships were analyzed using the chi-squared test and the odds ratio. A two-tailed p value of90. Moreover, 57.4% (n=66) reached longer jumping distance with the standing leg. Ignoring such pre-existent side differences in evaluation of hop tests and not knowing which limb was dominant prior the injury, can lead to premature or delayed return to sports in the rehabilitation process. Therefore, it might be helpful to refer to individual jump lengths for each limb in case of injury by using hop tests in pre-season screening in professional athletes in Judo and Taekwondo.Sprinting in curvilinear trajectories is an important soccer ability, corresponding to ~85% of the actions performed at maximum velocity in a soccer league. We compared the neuromuscular behavior and foot contact-time between outside leg and inside leg during curve sprinting to both sides in soccer players. Nine soccer players (age=23±4.12 years) performed 3×Sprint linear, 3×Sprint right curve, and 3×Sprint left curve. An ANOVA with repeated measures was used to compare the differences between inside and outside leg, and Cohen’s d was used to calculate the effect-size. Considering the average data, the performance classification (from best to worst) was as follows 1. Curve “good” side (2.45±0.11 s), 2. Linear (2.47±0.13 s), and 3. Curve “weak” side (2.56±0.17 s). Comparing linear with curve sprinting, inside leg recorded significant differences (“good” and “weak”; effect size=1.20 and 2, respectively); in contrast, for outside leg, there were no significant differences (“good” and “weak”; effect size=0.30 and 0.
