Importance: Managing isolated severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) poses significant challenges, with questions recently arising about the efficacy of surgery and percutaneous therapies compared with conservative approaches in improving survival.

Objective: We aimed to assess the available evidence on mortality associated with different treatment modalities for isolated severe TR.

Evidence Review: A comprehensive search of medical databases was conducted.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microbes undergo changes that render antimicrobial drugs ineffective against them, resulting in limited, more expensive treatment options, longer hospital stays, and increased mortality rates. No study has estimated the costs related to AMR in hospitals in Pakistan. This study was conducted to determine the financial burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Pakistan and to compare it with the additional costs incurred by patients who respond well to antimicrobial treatments.

Introduction: Type II endoleaks (TIIEL) commonly occur following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). There is a lack of unified consensus regarding the management of TIIEL. Pre-emptive embolization is a potential method to reduce the risk for TIIEL, but its role is debated.

Objective: Failure to rescue (FTR), defined as mortality due to failure in responding to in-hospital complications, is an important quality indicator. This study aimed to assess incidence and predictors for FTR among centers performing fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA).

Methods: Consecutive patients treated by FB-EVAR for TAAAs between 2005 and 2022 in 27 centers of the International Multicenter Aortic Research Group were analyzed.

Environmental pollution generated by industrial wastes are deteriorating land, water, and marine life, which raises major concerns about climate change. Since environmentally friendly piezoelectric materials can generate clean energy by applying mechanical forces, they are seen as viable agents for industrial applications. In recent research work, the Si-modified 0.
