Background: Medical diagnostic ultrasound has been used by various specialties since the 1950s. Contemporary point of care ultrasound (POCUS) was first researched and utilized by emergency physicians in the mid 1980s. Emergency physicians have formally defined and pioneered POCUS over the past two decades. Research in a broad array of applications indicate improved patient care via procedural s...

Probably building non procedural languages is the most prospective way for parallel programming just because non procedural means no fixed way for execution. The article consists of 3 parts. In first part we consider formal systems for definition a named datasets and studying an expression power of different subclasses. In the second part we consider a complexity of algorithms of building sets ...

This paper presents AI applications of the recently proposed Transaction Logic (abbr., 7-7z) [2]. Transaction Logic is a novel formalism that accounts in a clean and declarative fashion for the phenomenon of updating first-order knowledge bases, most notably, databases and logic programs. Transaction Logic has a natural model theory and a sound-and-complete proof theory. Unlike many other logic...

AIM To investigate the rates and determinants of success of repeat percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following an initial failed attempt at recanalising the chronic total occlusions (CTO) percutaneously. METHODS In 445 consecutive first attempt CTO-PCI procedures in our institution, procedural failure occurred in 149 (33.5%). Sixty-four re-PCI procedures were performed in 58 patients (...

Reported outcomes following cardiac invasive procedures show high variability in between different operators. We analysed the GenesisCare Outcomes Registry (GCOR) from 2015 to 2021 looking at annual procedural and inter-operator across 32 cardiologists’ 11,017 (CIED 38%, PCI 62%). Procedural outliers were defined as having an complication rate exceeding 3%. The overall major rates reduced 2.04±...

BACKGROUND Patients who develop recurrent myocardial ischemia after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery are often referred for percutaneous coronary intervention. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and peri-procedural outcomes in patients with prior CABG referred for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over a 3 year period. METHODS Data were ...
