Records are listed from PubMed, courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine, and refreshed every few hours. VAI Pulse is a discovery tool: VAI has not reviewed these papers and does not endorse or interpret them. A label such as “Practice guideline” or “Consensus statement” appears only when PubMed itself types the record that way. Read the original paper before it informs a clinical decision.
