Summary
Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke is an interruption of blood supply due to thrombosis or embolization.
Thrombosis is caused by an in situ clot at a site of atherosclerotic plaque. Embolization is caused by an intravascular embolus. Sources include atrial fibrillation, ventricular aneurysm, hypokinetic ventricle, myocardial infarction, prosthetic valve, infective endocarditis and proximal friable atherosclerotic plaques.

Summary
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) occurs when blood occupies space within the calvarium. ICH irritates brain parenchyma and impairs outflow of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) from the dural sinus venous network, which raises intracranial pressure (ICP) with a resultant decrease in cerebral perfusion.
ICH types are defined by the location of the bleeding: intracerebral (within the parenchyma), epidural (between the skull and the dura), subdural (between the dura and arachnoid membrane) and subarachnoid (between arachnoid membrane and pia mater).
The skull is inelastic, so blood accumulation increases intracranial pressure.

Background:
Children undergoing cardiac surgery have overall improving survival, though they consume substantial resources. Nationwide inpatient cost estimates and costs at longitudinal follow-up are lacking.
Methods:Retrospective cohort study of children <19 years of age admitted to Pediatric Health Information System administrative database with an International Classification of Diseases diagnosis code undergoing cardiac surgery. Patients were grouped into neonates (≤30 days of age), infants (31–365 days of age), and children (>1 year) at index procedure. Primary and secondary outcomes included hospital stay and hospital costs at index surgical admission and 1- and 5-year follow-up.
Results:Of the 99,670 cohort patients, neonates comprised 27% and had the highest total hospital costs, though daily hospital costs were lower. Mortality declined (5.6% in 2004 versus 2.5% in 2015, p < 0.0001) while inpatient costs rose (5% increase/year, p < 0.0001). Neonates had greater index diagnosis complexity, greater inpatient costs, required the greatest ICU resources, pharmacotherapy, and respiratory therapy. We found no relationship between hospital surgical volume, mortality, and hospital costs. Neonates had higher cumulative hospital costs at 1- and 5-year follow-up compared to infants and children.
Conclusions:Inpatient hospital costs rose during the study period, driven primarily by longer stay. Neonates had greater complexity index diagnosis, required greater hospital resources, and have higher hospital costs at 1 and 5 years compared to older children. Surgical volume and in-hospital mortality were not associated with costs. Further analyses comprising merged clinical and administrative data are necessary to identify longer stay and cost drivers after paediatric cardiac surgery.

Introduction:
The concept of compressions only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CO-CPR) evolved from a perception that lay rescuers may be less likely to perform mouth-to-mouth ventilations during an emergency. This study hopes to describe the efficacy of bystander compressions and ventilations cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CV-CPR) in cardiac arrest following drowning.
Hypothesis/Problem:The aim of this investigation is to test the hypothesis that bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) utilizing compressions and ventilations results in improved survival for cases of cardiac arrest following drowning compared to CPR involving compressions only.
Methods:The Cardiac Arrest Registry for Enhanced Survival (CARES) was queried for patients who suffered cardiac arrest following drowning from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2017, and in whom data were available on type of bystander CPR delivered (ie, CV-CPR CO-CPR). The primary outcome of interest was neurologically favorable survival, as defined by cerebral performance category (CPC).
Results:Neurologically favorable survival was statistically significantly associated with CV-CPR in pediatric patients aged five to 15 years (aOR = 2.68; 95% CI, 1.10–6.77; P = .03), as well as all age group survival to hospital discharge (aOR = 1.54; 95% CI, 1.01–2.36; P = .046). There was a trend with CV-CPR toward neurologically favorable survival in all age groups (aOR = 1.35; 95% CI, 0.86–2.10; P = .19) and all age group survival to hospital admission (aOR = 1.29; 95% CI, 0.91–1.84; P = .157).
Conclusion:In cases of cardiac arrest following drowning, bystander CV-CPR was statistically significantly associated with neurologically favorable survival in children aged five to 15 years and survival to hospital discharge.

Hyperbolic polariton modes are highly appealing for a broad range of applications in nanophotonics, including surfaced enhanced sensing, sub-diffractional imaging, and reconfigurable metasurfaces. Here we show that attenuated total reflectance (ATR) micro-spectroscopy using standard spectroscopic tools can launch hyperbolic polaritons in a Kretschmann–Raether configuration. We measure multiple hyperbolic and dielectric modes within the naturally hyperbolic material hexagonal boron nitride as a function of different isotopic enrichments and flake thickness. This overcomes the technical challenges of measurement approaches based on nanostructuring, or scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy. Ultimately, our ATR approach allows us to compare the optical properties of small-scale materials prepared by different techniques systematically.

Summary
This chapter discusses the diagnosis, evaluation and management of ischemic strokes. Patients with ischemic strokes may present with altered mental status or airway compromise requiring immediate treatment. If the patient is not protecting his/her airway due to neurological deficits or level of consciousness, intubation will be required. If possible, the neurological examination prior to intubation has to be assessed. Blood pressure monitoring is essential for maintaining brain perfusion and decreasing the risk of conversion to hemorrhagic stroke. The most likely cause of sudden decompensation is intracranial hemorrhage during tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) administration or increased intracranial pressure due to cerebral edema. The goal should be to maintain normocarbia while minimizing positive endexpiratory pressure (PEEP). Increased PEEP can lower venous return to the heart, leading to reduced cardiac output and worsening cerebral perfusion. Consultant neurosurgery can be pivotal during cerebellar infarcts or massive hemispheric infarcts.

The atomic and electronic structures of pyramidal model STM tips of transition metals (W, Rh, Pd, Ir and Pt) were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) method. The calculated density of states show that d electrons of the apex atoms in the M4 (M = W, Rh, Pd, Ir, Pt) model tips behave differently near the Fermi level, with the dz2 state being dominant only for W tip. The electronic structures of pyramid structures of W and Pd single-atom tips with larger sizes are studied and compared. The density of states of Pd apex atom and W apex atom show different occupation of d-bands leading to asymmetric density of states for Pd tip. The asymmetric tunneling currents measured by W and Pt-Ir STM tips are explained by the calculated electronic structures of W and Pd model tips.

Short-lead prepulse inhibition and long-lead prepulse facilitation of startle are greater during attended than ignored prestimuli. The present work examined whether this attentional modification is influenced by monetary incentive. Participants (43 college students) were randomly assigned to receive a small performance-based monetary incentive or were instructed to try their best. The task was to judge the duration of tones of one of two pitches during a series of 48 tones. Prepulse inhibition of startle eyeblink EMG was assessed at 60, 120, and 240 ms, and prepulse facilitation was assessed at 4,500 ms following tone onset. Short-lead percent prepulse inhibition was greater during attended than ignored prestimuli only at 120 ms among paid participants. Long-lead prepulse facilitation was greater for attended than ignored tones, but this effect did not vary with incentive condition. This study demonstrates that attentional modification of short-lead prepulse inhibition is sensitive to a monetary incentive and provides a basis for further examination of motivational effects on early attentional processing.

Histidine-rich proteins (HRP), which function in the biological control of inorganic materials, have been identified in the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, marine polychaetes, humans, and the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum. For example, the malarial parasite contains HRP II composed of repeating peptide sequences of Ala-His-His-Ala-His-His-AlaAla-Asp. This peptide was screened as a stabilizing peptide coat for a variety of nanoclusters of Ag0, Au0, ZnS, TiO2, and Ag2S, and characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence, IR, XRD, and TEM. The resulting nanoclusters were examined for immunoreactivity against a commercial monoclonal antibody for HRP II of P. falciparum.
