Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a successful treatment option for severe aortic stenosis. However, the long-term outcomes of TAVR in nonagenarians is lacking. We aimed to examine the long-term mortality and quality of life in nonagenarians after TAVR.

- - A pilot study investigated if tablet-based tests of manual dexterity could help detect first-episode psychosis (FEP) and if there were changes in cortical excitability among these patients compared to other groups.
- - The study included 20 patients each from the FEP, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, and healthy control groups, utilizing various tablet tasks to evaluate motor and cognitive functions, while also comparing results to clinical neurological assessments.
- - Results showed that FEP patients had slower reaction times and higher error rates in dexterity tasks, with specific patterns in performance being more effective at identifying FEP than clinical assessments; additionally, FEP patients exhibited reduced cortical inhibition.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of circulatory support used in patients with refractory cardiac and/or respiratory failure. The main role of such support is to allow the lungs and heart to rest and heal while providing adequate oxygenation to vital organs. During extracorporeal support, the venous blood removed is decarboxylated, oxygenated, warmed, and infused back into the circulation.
