Article Synopsis
- The study investigates long-term outcomes for patients who experienced a first episode of acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (UD) in the left colon, finding that almost 50% had at least one recurrence over a decade of follow-up.
- Out of 105 patients, nearly 20% eventually required elective surgery, primarily due to multiple recurrences, with male patients being more likely to need surgery.
- The research indicates that common classification systems do not effectively predict recurrences, though a specific stage (CDD 1a) was linked to lower chances of requiring surgery.

Article Synopsis
- - The study uses a preclinical model of a porcine heart fixed in a plastic mannequin designed to mimic human anatomy, facilitating realistic surgical operations.
- - This setup enables the performance of key movements and steps involved in significant adult and congenital heart surgeries, particularly the Konno operation.
- - The Konno operation specifically targets localized subaortic stenosis, which is a narrowing in the left outflow tract or at the junction between the left ventricle and aorta.
