Arterial oxygen saturation in single ventricle patients is dependent on systemic cardiac output. Here, we describe a case of a newborn with single ventricle physiology and an unusual mechanism to explain poor cardiac output and cyanosis. This case highlights the importance of identifying and considering ventricular morphology and ventricular-ventricular interactions to understand clinical challenges.

Background: Transcatheter device closure (TDC) is the most common treatment for isolated atrial septal defects in children. In the adult population, the incidence of new-onset migraine headache after TDC is well recognized and is estimated at 15%. New-onset headache after paediatric TDC has not been well described.

Repurposing FDA-approved drugs with the aid of gene signatures of disease can accelerate the development of new therapeutics. A major challenge to developing reliable drug predictions is heterogeneity. Different gene signatures of the same disease or drug treatment often show poor overlap across studies, as a consequence of both biological and technical variability, and this can affect the quality and reproducibility of computational drug predictions.

Background: When the number of patients requiring hospital admission exceeds the number of available department-allotted beds, patients are often placed on a different specialty's inpatient ward, a practice known as "bedspacing". Whether bedspacing affects quality of patient care has not been previously studied.

Methods: We reviewed consecutive general internal medicine (GIM) admissions for congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pneumonia at St.
