Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates whether female sex is linked to higher in-hospital mortality rates after open cardiac valve surgery, given that women often show poorer outcomes in cardiac procedures.
- - Analyzed data from over 272,000 patients across several states from 2007-2018, revealing that 5.1% of women died compared to 3.8% of men after surgery.
- - Results show women had a significantly higher odds ratio (1.41) for in-hospital mortality, particularly in specific surgeries like aortic valve replacement and combined valve surgery, indicating a persistent trend across different surgical types.
Article Synopsis
- * This paper highlights the current state of POCUS and TEE training in Nepal and Bangladesh, the challenges faced in expanding these ultrasound techniques, and the authors' efforts to improve skills through short courses in these nations.
- * With an increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, the demand for effective diagnostic tools like POCUS and TEE is rising, and the training initiatives in Nepal and Bangladesh could serve as models for enhancing education in other resource-limited regions.
In his Tractatus Quinque Medico-Physici of 1674, John Mayow wrote that a fifth of atmospheric air is comprised of nitro-aerial spirit. That so-called spirit participates in both respiration and combustion. The etymology of "nitro-aerial spirit" stems from a mineral long called niter and now specified as potassium nitrate.

This study tests the hypothesis that these kinases are involved in mechanical signal transduction in intact human arteries and veins.
Methods: Unused portions of human saphenous vein and radial artery were obtained fresh at the time of peripheral or coronary bypass.
