A good night's rest: A contemporary review of sleep and cardiovascular health.

Sleep is increasingly recognized as a significant contributor to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recent American Heart Association guidelines incorporate sleep duration into the "Life's Essential Eight" framework of ideal cardiovascular health. This article will review the evidence relating sleep duration, regularity, and quality with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, cardiometabolic syndrome, and coronary artery disease in adults.

Mid-term Outcomes of Patella Resurfacing During Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA): Clinical, Functional, and Radiographic Insights.

Aim The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the mid-term implant survivability, rate of revisions, and clinical and functional outcomes following patella resurfacing during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) utilizing posterior stabilized (PS) total knee system (TKS). Methods A prospective, single-arm, multi-center, post-marketing surveillance encompassed patients with end-stage primary knee osteoarthritis (OA) or inflammatory arthritis. The time points of the study included baseline, six weeks, six months, one year, and three years post-operatively.

Methamphetamine-associated heart failure: Clinical characteristics and outcomes in a safety net population.

Background: Methamphetamine use is increasing and is associated with development of heart failure (HF). However, clinical characteristics and outcomes have not been well-described.

Objective: To compare outcomes among individuals with HF with and without methamphetamine use in a safety-net setting.

Leukocyte-lymphatic intersections during cardiac inflammation.

Advances in genetic, pharmacologic, and sequencing technology have led to new insight into the role of lymphatics in health and disease. This includes fundamental aspects of the crosstalk between immune cells with cardiac lymphatics. At the interface between leukocytes and lymphatic endothelial cells, myeloid populations are sources of lymphatic growth factors during inflammation.
