Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative right ventricular free-wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS) and changes in strain with the diagnosis of right ventricular dysfunction in patients undergoing mitral surgery.
  • It was conducted as a prospective observational study at a university hospital, analyzing various clinical and echocardiographic parameters before and after surgery to assess cardiac function.
  • The findings suggested that a preoperative RVFWLS value of -15% may predict the risk of postoperative biventricular dysfunction, although no significant correlations were found between strain measures and other clinical outcomes like ICU stay or renal function.

Oral HPV infection is the main risk factor for the development of oropharyngeal carcinoma. Men who have sex with men (MSM), especially if living with HIV (PLWH), are at increased risk of infection and consequently of cancer development. Aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of nonavalent vaccine on oral HPV infection in a cohort of MSM and transgender women (TGW).

Objectives: The availability of doravirine (DOR) allowed clinicians to prescribe a dolutegravir (DTG)-based two-drug regimen (2DR) in individuals not eligible to receive lamivudine (3TC) or rilpivirine (RPV). The aims of this study were to describe the durability of DTG + DOR compared with DTG/3TC and DTG/RPV and the rate of virological failure and target not-detected maintenance over time.

Methods: This retrospective, monocentric analysis included all subjects who started a DTG-based 2DR from 2018 to 2022 as a simplification.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the prevalence of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in a specific community and its impact on patient outcomes like survival and hospitalization.
  • During a follow-up of 6.1 years, moderate or severe TR was found in 4.8% of 6,797 patients, showing varying event-free survival rates based on clinical context.
  • Patients with TR experienced decreased event-free survival, especially those with heart failure and significant left-sided valvular heart disease, indicating that TR is a significant health concern.
