In the realm of innovative medical procedures, TEER (transcatheter edge-to-edge repair) has emerged as a promising field, showcasing significant growth and advancements. Mitral TEER has been performed for the last two decades; in contrast, tricuspid TEER is newer, with long-term outcomes pending. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the current literature, with a primary focus on outcomes and potential complications associated with both procedures.

Cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurologic syndrome are extensively characterized. However, limited data exist on the burden, predictors, and implications of acute kidney injury (AKI) after CAR T cell therapy.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search using Medline and Embase for studies that use or describe the development of dental patient safety checklists.
Objectives: Developing a Precision Periodontal Health Care Chart (PPHCC) in the electronic dental record (EDR) system and evaluating its clinical usability and effects on clinical outcomes.
Materials And Methods: A survey with ten questions based on the System Usability Scale (SUS) and six questions about assessing clinical impact was used to evaluate the satisfaction of periodontitis patients and care providers with PPHCC before and after non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT). The clinical outcomes, including probing depth (PD), interdental clinical attachment loss (CAL), and bleeding on probing (BOP), in patients who used PPHCC (PC) were compared to those in patients without using PPHCC (control).
Objectives: Learning from clinical data on the subject of safety with regards to patient care in dentistry is still largely in its infancy. Current evidence does not provide epidemiological estimates on adverse events (AEs) associated with dental care. The goal of the dental practice study was to quantify and describe the nature and severity of harm experienced in association with dental care, and to assess for disparities in the prevalence of AEs.
