Introduction: Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement (TMVR ViV) is becoming a favorable, less invasive procedure among high-risk patients to manage mitral valve dysfunction. We aimed to investigate the trends of the predictors and outcomes of the procedure.
Methods: The national inpatient sample databases of 2016-2020 were analyzed using STATA 17 software and ICD-10 codes for TMVR ViV, with stratification for mitral stenosis (MS) or Mitral regurgitation (MR) as etiology for prosthetic valve dysfunction.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the antiurolithiatic (stone-preventing) effects of Lam. leaves using various scientific methods, including phytochemical analyses and antioxidant testing.
- The methanolic aqueous extract from the leaves showed significant inhibitory effects on the formation, aggregation, and growth of kidney stones in laboratory models, as well as beneficial effects on urinary and serum parameters.
- Histological analysis indicated that the extract restored normal kidney tissue structure affected by stone-related conditions, suggesting that its beneficial effects are linked to antioxidant properties and the reduction of substances that promote stone formation.
Purpose: Oropharyngeal mucositis is a common complication of anticancer therapy. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness and safety of intralesional corticosteroid therapy (ICT) in the management of persistent mucositis.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients who underwent ICT in the oral cavity to manage oral mucositis managed with basic oral care and preventive modalities and persisting at least 6 weeks after head and neck radiation or chemoradiation therapy completion between November 2017 and September 2023 was performed.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by dopamine deficiency in the corpus striatum due to the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Symptoms include bradykinesia, resting tremors, unstable posture, muscular rigidity, and a shuffled gait. is traditionally used for neurodegenerative disorders.

- Chest radiotherapy (C-XRT) can lead to complications such as aortic stenosis, which often necessitates transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), but data on outcomes for C-XRT survivors are limited.
- A national inpatient study from 2016 to 2020 identified 515 patients with a history of C-XRT who underwent TAVR, comparing their outcomes to matched controls without C-XRT.
- The results indicated that C-XRT patients had lower in-hospital mortality, shorter hospital stays, reduced total charges, and fewer complications, highlighting a potential advantage in TAVR outcomes for these patients.
