Brain Pro-TCT: a prospective, quasi-experimental study on early delirium detection with Delirium Observation Screening Scale versus single-channel EEG after cardiac surgery in patients aged over 70 years

European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing

Abstract Aim Delirium is common in patients aged over 70 years after cardiac surgery. Screening to detect delirium in high-risk patients is important, yet hypoactive delirium is often missed in nurse-reported screening. Polymorphic delta waves are associated with delirium, and can be detected with single-channel electroencephalography (SC-EEG). The aim of the study is to assess whether SC-EEG as a screening instrument for delirium will increase the detection rate of postoperative delirium and re

Sex Chromosomes and Sex Hormones: Dissecting the Forces That Differentiate Female and Male Hearts

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 151, Issue 7 , Page 474-489, February 18, 2025. The heart is a highly sex-biased organ, as sex shapes innumerable aspects of heart health and disease. Sex chromosomes and sex hormones testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen establish and perpetuate the division between male and female myocardium. Of these differentiating factors, the insulating effects of estrogen have been rigorously interrogated and reviewed, whereas the influence of sex chromosomes, testosterone, and prog
