Background: Long-term outcomes after acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) are related to remodelling of the descending thoracic aorta and aortic reinterventions. We compared the impact of an extensive repair at the index procedure using the Frozen Elephant Trunk (FET) technique, versus a conventional arch repair, on long-term remodelling of the descending thoracic and reintervention related to the aorta.
Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent conventional arch repair (conventional group) or FET repair (FET group) for an ATAAD from September 2018 to November 2021 were included.
Objectives: The carotid approach for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been shown to be feasible and safe. The goal of this study was to compare the 30-day outcomes of trans-carotid (TC) and transfemoral (TF) TAVR.
Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 500 consecutive patients treated by TC-TAVR (n = 100) or TF-TAVR (n = 400) with percutaneous closure between January 2018 and January 2020 at the Nantes University Hospital.
Article Synopsis
- Spermiogenesis, the final phase of sperm development, involves autophagy, a process where cells recycle their components to maintain functionality.
- During this stage, the sperm cell forms the acrosome and sheds most of its cytoplasm to ensure efficiency and mobility.
- The review aims to compile current research on how autophagy affects the health and function of mature male gametes and how various environmental factors may impact this process.
Article Synopsis
- Autophagy plays a crucial role in sperm cell development by helping manage damaged organelles, particularly under hyperthermic conditions.
- Cryptorchidism leads to immature sperm cells, suggesting a problem with germ cell maturation, which this study aims to explore through the analysis of sperm samples from cryptorchid patients and healthy controls.
- Findings indicate increased autophagy activity in sperm cells from cryptorchid patients, highlighting a potential pathway for improving sperm quality in those affected by this condition.
