Predictive factors for postoperative ileus after elective right hemicolectomy performed on over 80% Enhanced Recovery After Surgery-adherent patients: a retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy is the standard surgical approach for treatment of right-sided colonic neoplasms. Although performed within a strict Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program, patients still develop postoperative ileus. The aim of this study was to describe the factors responsible for postoperative ileus after right hemicolectomy in a patient population with over 80% ERAS adherence.

Cardiac Structure and Function in 8- to 12-Year-Old Children Following In-Utero Exposure to Preeclampsia (FINNCARE Study).

Background: We evaluated how elevated blood pressure in children exposed to preeclampsia (PE) impacted on their cardiac structure and function, as well as relations with maternal, gestational, and perinatal factors and child body size and composition.

Methods And Results: A total of 182 PE (46 early-onset preeclampsia) and 85 unexposed (non-PE) children were examined in the FINNCARE study 8 to 12 years after the index pregnancy with echocardiography; office, central, and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressures; and body anthropometrics and composition. PE children had lower right ventricular basal sphericity index (mean difference, -0.

Risk-stratified analysis of long-term clinical outcomes and cumulative costs in Finnish patients with recent acute coronary syndrome or coronary revascularization: a 5-year real-world study using electronic health records.

Aims: Risk assessment is essential in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. In patients with recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or coronary revascularization, risk prediction tools, like the European Society of Cardiology guideline recommended SMART-REACH risk score, are increasingly used to predict the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events enabling risk-based personalized prevention. However, little is known about the association between risk stratification and the social and healthcare costs at a population level.

Caridac vein retroinjections provide an efficient approach for global left ventricular gene transfer with adenovirus and adeno-associated virus.

Heart failure (HF) is a major burden worldwide, and new therapies are urgently needed. Gene therapy is a promising new approach to treat myocardial diseases. However, current cardiac gene delivery methods for producing global myocardial effects have been inefficient.

Preeclampsia-exposed children's heart rate variability 8-12 yr after index pregnancy: FINNCARE study.

Preeclampsia is related with elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) in children. We studied if preeclampsia-exposed (PE) children develop alterations in heart rate variability (HRV) and if this is reflected in their blood pressure (BP), as well as overall associations with body size and composition, gestational and perinatal factors. We examined 182 PE (46 early-onset PE) and 85 unexposed (non-PE) children 8-12 yr after preeclampsia exposure.
