Purpose: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum is a multifactorial disease requiring complex surgeries. The treatment route is determined based on the right ventricle (RV) size, tricuspid annulus size and coronary circulation dependency of RV. Since multiple parameters influence the post-operative success, a personalized decision-making based on computed hemodynamics is hypothesized to improve the treatment efficacy.

Article Synopsis
- The Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination III (ACE-III) was adapted for the Turkish population (ACE-III-TR) to assess its validity and reliability in diagnosing cognitive disorders.
- The study involved 234 participants, including those with dementia, mild cognitive impairment, and healthy individuals, and used assessments from trained therapists to evaluate the test's effectiveness.
- Results indicated significant differences in cognitive scores across groups and strong correlations between ACE-III-TR scores and other cognitive assessments, supporting its reliability and suitability for use in Turkey.
Objective: Event capture in clinical trials is resource-intensive, and electronic medical records (EMRs) offer a potential solution. This study develops algorithms for EMR-based death and hospitalization capture and compares them with traditional event capture methods.
Materials And Methods: We compared the effectiveness of EMR-based event capture and site-captured events adjudicated by a clinical endpoint committee in the multi-center INfluenza Vaccine to Effectively Stop cardio Thoracic Events and Decompensated heart failure (INVESTED) trial for participants from the Veterans Affairs healthcare system.
Background: In regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs), it is crucial to find effective materials. This study introduces glycosaminoglycan (GAG) mimetic peptide amphiphile (PA, GAG-PA) and K-PA nanofibers, synthesized to emulate sulfated GAGs, aiming to enhance tissue repair within damaged pulp - an area where standardized protocols are currently lacking.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the regenerative potential of GAG-PA nanofibers in REP.
