Article Synopsis
- The study examines the characteristics and outcomes of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients admitted to cardiac intensive care units (CICUs) in North America from 2017 to 2022, revealing limited previous knowledge in this area.
- Out of 23,299 CICU admissions, only 441 (1.9%) were for ACHD, which tended to be younger patients who had more admissions related to heart failure and medical issues compared to non-ACHD patients.
- Despite longer hospital stays for ACHD patients, their in-hospital mortality rates were similar to those of non-ACHD patients, indicating the need for more focused research on managing specific complexities related to ACHD in the CICU.*
The inferior colliculus (IC), a midbrain hub for integration of auditory information, receives dense cholinergic input that could modulate nearly all aspects of hearing. A key step in understanding cholinergic modulation is to identify the source(s) and termination patterns of cholinergic input. These issues have not been addressed for the IC in mice, an increasingly important model for study of hearing.
