Aim: Explore the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies used by nursing students between academic anxiety and procrastination.
Design: A descriptive correlational design was used.
Setting: This study was carried out in the faculty of nursing at the University of Alexandria.
Background: Vaccination of healthcare workers (HCWs) is pivotal in decreasing the incidence of contagious infections in hospital settings. In this study, we assessed the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding HCWs' recommended vaccines among medical students and interns in Egypt.
Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted using a structured, pilot-tested, and self-administered questionnaire among Egyptian medical students and interns.
Background: Cardiac damage has gained increasing attention as a valid prognostic marker of mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, studies investigating the possible association between cardiac damage and hospitalization burden in TAVR patients are lacking.
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the impact of baseline cardiac damage on the hospitalization burden before, during, and after TAVR in an all-comers population.
Background: Human autopsy is widely used to investigate and confirm the causes of death. Commonly reported cases involve the cardiovascular and cerebral systems. However, human autopsy practices have been restricted due to ethical and religious implications in many countries.

- Over 150,000 transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) procedures have been conducted globally, but the effect of mitral regurgitation (MR) causes on subsequent mitral valve (MV) surgery outcomes is not well understood.
- A study analyzed data from the CUTTING-EDGE registry, focusing on patients who underwent MV surgery post-TEER, comparing outcomes based on whether their MR was classified as primary (PMR) or secondary (SMR).
- Results indicated that SMR patients faced more complications, including higher mortality rates after surgery (38.3% vs 23.2% at 1 year), suggesting a need for more research to enhance patient outcomes in these cases.
