Background: Hemophilia B (HB), an X-linked recessive inherited bleeding disorder, exhibits a high prevalence among males.
Objectives: To present the first national cohort of persons with HB to define the demographics, clinical characteristics, and treatment patterns in Turkey.
Methods: This multicenter, retrospective study included 433 alive persons with HB registered in 35 centers between 1961 and 2018.
Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzes the effects of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) on hospitalization rates for patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) and symptomatic heart failure (HF), aiming to clarify conflicting results from previous research.
- - The results indicate that patients who underwent M-TEER experienced significantly lower rates of recurrent heart failure hospitalizations and cardiovascular (CV) deaths over a 24-month period, as well as an improved quality of life compared to those in the control group.
- - Specifically, patients in the M-TEER group spent fewer days in the hospital due to HF or CV issues, with a statistically significant reduction in total days lost due to these health complications.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effectiveness of transcatheter mitral-valve repair in patients suffering from heart failure and functional mitral regurgitation, comparing it to standard medical therapy.
- In a trial with 505 patients, results showed that those who received the device had significantly lower rates of hospitalizations for heart failure and cardiovascular death compared to those who only received medical therapy.
- Additionally, patients in the device group experienced a greater improvement in health status, as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, indicating better outcomes with the transcatheter procedure.
Objectives: To evaluate the incidence and severity of depression in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
Materials And Methods: The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was administered to 74 patients with RP and 60 healthy controls. Biomicroscopic anterior segment and fundus examination, visual field, optical coherence tomography, and full-field electroretinography tests were performed in all cases.
Aim: The RESHAPE-HF2 trial is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of the MitraClip device system for the treatment of clinically important functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in patients with heart failure (HF). This report describes the baseline characteristics of patients enrolled in the RESHAPE-HF2 trial compared to those enrolled in the COAPT and MITRA-FR trials.
Methods And Results: The RESHAPE-HF2 study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, multicentre trial including patients with symptomatic HF, a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between 20% and 50% with moderate-to-severe or severe FMR, for whom isolated mitral valve surgery was not recommended.
