    Complexity-constrained spatially coupled LDPC codes based on protographs

    Spatially coupled low-density parity-check (SC-LDPC) codes are often thought as codes with very long block lengths. However, they can be decoded through sliding window (SW) decoders achieving near-optimal performance when the window size is a few times larger than the code syndrome former constraint length. This makes SC-LDPC codes with short constraint length suitable for low-latency transmissions, and they can even outperform their block code counterparts. Complexity of SW decoders increases linearly with the window size and with the number of decoding iterations. When complexity is constrained, an optimal trade-off between the window size and the maximum number of decoding iterations has to be found. In this paper, we propose a PEXIT-based method to find the best trade-off for codes with short syndrome former constraint length. We consider codes based on protographs, and validate the results of the PEXIT-based method through Monte Carlo simulations

    Cardiac arrest and coronavirus disease 2019

    The impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the cardiovascular system has been highlighted since the very first weeks after the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 identification. We reviewed the influence of COVID-19 pandemic on cardiac arrest, both considering those occurred out of the hospital (OHCA) and in the hospital (IHCA). RECENT FINDINGS: An increase in OHCA incidence occurred in different countries, especially in those regions most burdened by the COVID-19, as this seems to be bounded to the pandemic trend. A change of OHCA patients’ characteristics, with an increase of the OHCA occurred at home, a decrease in bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator use before Emergency Medical Service (EMS) arrival and an increase in non-shockable rhythms, have been highlighted. A dramatic drop in the OHCA patients’ survival was pointed out in almost all the countries, regardless of the high or low-incidence of COVID-19 cases. Concerning IHCA, a reduction in survival was highlighted in patients with COVID-19 who sustained a cardiac arrest. SUMMARY: Cardiac arrest occurrence and survival were deeply affected by the pandemic. Informative campaigns to the population to call EMS in case of need and the re-allocation of the prehospital resources basing on the pandemic trend are needed to improve survival
