Electrical burns in train climbers treated in the Helsinki Burn Centre during the last 30 years.

Background: Patients who climb onto the roof of a stationary train carriage and sustain a high voltage electrical injury from the overhead cables represent a rare type of electrical injury. The aim of this study was to review all the electrical burns and their outcomes in train climbers treated in the Helsinki Burn Centre during the last three decades.

Methods: 18 patients who had climbed onto the roof of a stationary electric train between November 1993 and December 2022 were included.

Transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.

Background: Patients with severe aortic stenosis and left ventricular systolic dysfunction have a poor prognosis, and this may result in inferior survival also after aortic valve replacement. The outcomes of transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement were investigated in this comparative analysis.

Methods: The retrospective nationwide FinnValve registry included data on patients who underwent transcatheter or surgical aortic valve replacement with a bioprosthesis for severe aortic stenosis.
