Implications of an Off-Hours Setting in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair for Mitral Regurgitation.

Background: - Little is known about mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) performed outside of usual working hours. We aimed to explore the prevalence, correlates, and outcomes of mitral TEER initiated off-hours, i.e.

Detecting Selective Laser Melting Beam Power from Ultrasonic Temporal and Spectral Responses of Phononic Crystal Artifacts Toward Real-Time Quality Monitoring.

Unlike many conventional manufacturing techniques, 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing (3DP/AM) fabrication creates builds with unprecedented degrees of structural and geometrical complexities. However, uncertainties in 3DP/AM processes and material attributes could cause geometric and structural quality issues in resulting builds and products. Evaluating the sensitivity of process parameters and material properties for process optimization, quality assessment, and closed-loop control is crucial in practice.

The Impact of Deep Local Lung Hyperthermia on COVID-19 Cancer Patients.

Background: The goal of this study was to assess the impact of deep local hyperthermia on oxygen (O) saturation and infected volumes of lungs on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cancer patients.

Materials And Methods: Fifty patients who suffered from COVID-19 (according to their computed tomography (CT) images and laboratory findings) were included in this study. The mentioned patients were divided into two groups (I and II) with thirty-five participants.

The journey of MASLD: Tracking resolution, relapse, and predictive factors after sleeve gastrectomy and one-anastomosis gastric bypass, a propensity score-matched cohort study.

Aims: To assess the rates and predictors of resolution and relapse of metabolic-dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in individuals undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB).

Methods: This observational prospective cohort study involved 1618 propensity score-matched participants (81.5% female) with concurrent MASLD and obesity who underwent SG or OAGB between 2013 and 2023.

Case report: Antiphospholipid syndrome revealed by multiple ischemic cerebral strokes in the context of preeclampsia.

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by thrombotic events and pregnancy complications, including preeclampsia. This case report presents a rare manifestation of APS revealed by multiple ischemic cerebral strokes in a patient with severe preeclampsia. A comprehensive review of the literature is included to highlight the clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and prognosis of APS in the context of preeclampsia.
