The Effect of Stenting on Post-Stenotic Dilatation in Coarctation of The Aorta.

The effect of stenting of native aortic coarctation (CoA) on post-stenotic dilatation (PSD) has not been previously described. We hypothesized that CoA stenting may lead to positive remodeling of PSD. Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent stent implantation for native CoA from 1999 to 2021 was performed.

Deep Learning Solution of the Eigenvalue Problem for Differential Operators.

Solving the eigenvalue problem for differential operators is a common problem in many scientific fields. Classical numerical methods rely on intricate domain discretization and yield nonanalytic or nonsmooth approximations. We introduce a novel neural network-based solver for the eigenvalue problem of differential self-adjoint operators, where the eigenpairs are learned in an unsupervised end-to-end fashion.

The impact of bedside wipes in multi-patient rooms: a prospective, crossover trial evaluating infections and survival.

Background: Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are prevalent on high-touch surfaces in multi-patient rooms.

Aim: To quantify the impact of hanging single-use cleaning/disinfecting wipes next to each bed. Pre-specified outcomes were: (1) hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), (2) cleaning frequency, (3) MDRO room contamination, (4) new MDRO acquisitions, and (5) mortality.
