Background: Patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are often loaded with antithrombotic drugs (AT) and are at an increased risk for perioperative bleeding complications. Active AT removal by a hemoadsorption cartridge integrated in the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit is increasingly used in this setting to reduce bleeding, and herein we describe the extension of this application in patients on AT undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB).
Methods: Ten patients (80% male; mean age: 67.
: The hemoadsorption device CytoSorb (CytoSorbents Inc., Princeton, NJ, USA) has been shown to efficiently remove ticagrelor from whole blood in vitro. A promising clinical experience was made with the integration of the hemoadsorption cartridge on the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit during cardiac surgery to reduce adverse events.

- Studies indicate that higher pitch counts in youth baseball pitchers are linked to increased elbow and shoulder pain.
- This research aimed to assess how different pitching restrictions (innings vs. pitch counts) and mound distances affect the number of pitches thrown in youth baseball leagues.
- Results showed that the league with a longer mound distance had significantly higher seasonal pitch counts, with more pitchers exceeding 600 pitches, compared to the league using only inning restrictions.
Background: In contrast to the classic autosomal recessive Wolfram syndrome, Wolfram-like syndrome (WLS) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by heterozygous variants in the WFS1 gene. Here, we present deep phenotyping of a mother and son with a WFS1 variant NM_006005.3:c.

This study examined the safety and efficacy of the new system consisting of two bi-atrial temporary pacing and cardioversion electrodes, a ventricular electrode and the device (combined external pacemaker and cardioverter) for low-energy atrial cardioversion.
Methods: The temporary electrodes were placed on the left and right atrium during open heart surgery.
