A pilot comparison of the retention rates of FAST and BEFAST stroke warning-sign mnemonics by Shujing Guo, Jeffrey L. Saver

“…Recently, a more inclusive but potentially harder to remember mnemonic, adding Balance-Eyes (BEFAST), has been proposed to increase the sensitivity of warning-sign messaging in detecting strokes. We undertook a pilot randomized trial to assess the feasibility of, refine methods for, and provide information regarding required sample size for a larger, pivotal randomized trial comparing the retention rate of FAST versus BEFAST.MethodsThis study randomized adult participants without history of stroke to a comprehensive community stroke education intervention that included the definition of a stroke, its risk factors, outcomes, and either FAST or BEFAST mnemonics and assessed retention after 14–21 days. …”

Application of RNA-seq for single nucleotide variation identification in a cohort of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by Anastasia Chumakova, Ivan Vlasov, Elena Filatova, Anna Klass, Andrey Lysenko, Gennady Salagaev, Maria Shadrina, Petr Slominsky

“…Abstract A variety of techniques for DNA sequencing, such as specific gene sequencing, whole genome sequencing, or exome sequencing, are currently used to detect single nucleotide variations (SNVs). Although RNA-seq can be used to identify SNVs, studies that employ this approach are uncommon, and those that do often rely on outdated mapping methods or methods that are more suitable for genomic and exomic alignment. …”
