This review essay explores recent historical and anthropological literature on the emergence and development of transcultural psychiatry in the second half of the twentieth century. It examines how postcolonial psychiatry attempted to remove itself from its erstwhile colonial frameworks and strove to introduce new concepts and paradigms to make itself relevant in the context of decolonization and postwar reconstruction. The essay looks at both continuities and discontinuities between colonial and post-colonial transcultural psychiatry, asking how the recent surge of scholarly literature in this field engaged with these issues.

- Patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) can negatively affect long-term survival and quality of life after aortic valve replacement, especially with biological valves.
- A study of 595 patients revealed that 69.8% experienced moderate to severe PPM with biological prostheses, leading to significantly shorter survival rates compared to those without PPM.
- In contrast, mechanical prostheses showed no notable survival differences related to PPM, and overall quality of life scores remained similar across groups, highlighting the importance of considering PPM at surgery for biological valves.
