Researchers have found in a new study that elevated D-dimer levels and higher NIHSS scores were found to strongly predict poor prognosis in elderly patients with cerebral infarction. Patients with worse outcomes had significantly higher D-dimer levels, which correlated positively with NIHSS scores. D-dimer showed 72% sensitivity and 74% specificity. Additional key risk factors included […]
Recent study aimed to compare the effectiveness of combined PECS 1 block and intercostal nerve block with local infiltration as an analgesic technique during Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) implantations.
