Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied 1,729 patients with coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) to understand their clinical characteristics and predict outcomes, using data from an international registry across 9 countries.
- The majority of patients were male (78.6%) averaging 66 years old, with significant cardiovascular issues such as coronary artery disease (85.8%) and a median of 1 aneurysm per patient, primarily affecting the left anterior descending artery.
- During a median follow-up of about 45 months, 21.9% of patients died, and 37.1% experienced major adverse cardiovascular events; factors like age, diabetes, and kidney disease were linked to worse outcomes.
Recent research has extensively covered the effects of climate change factors, such as elevated CO2, rising temperatures and water deficit, on grapevine (Vitis spp.) biology. However, the assessment of the impacts of multiple climate change-related stresses on this crop remains complex due to the large number of interactive effects among environmental factors and the regulatory mechanisms that underlie these effects.

Introduction: Complex Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the treatment of ischemic heart disease has increased significantly. We aimed to evaluate sex-related differences in patients undergoing complex PCI.
Methods: single-center prospective observational study including patients undergoing complex PCI between 2017 and 2023.
Background: Procedural success following tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has been defined variably over time; however, the consequences of achieving a tricuspid regurgitation (TR) grade of 0/1+ are still unclear.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the predictors and prognostic impact of achieving TR 0/1+ after TEER and its role in clinical events.
Methods: This multicenter registry included patients undergoing tricuspid TEER in 15 Spanish centers from June 2020 and May 2023.
Article Synopsis
- Ex vivo fusion confocal microscopy (EVFCM) is a rapid method for examining breast tissue that could minimize the need for further surgeries by improving the accuracy of cancer detection compared to traditional methods.
- In a study with 36 tissue samples, EVFCM demonstrated high accuracy in detecting neoplastic cases and showed significant agreement with routine histopathology results, especially when evaluated by an experienced Mohs surgeon.
- The findings suggest that using EVFCM could enhance surgical outcomes in breast-conserving surgery by reducing re-excision rates, lowering healthcare costs, and improving both cosmetic and oncological results.
