Introduction: Recalibration of body ownership perception occurs through an integration among multiple modalities. A recent study has shown that respiratory rhythm also causes the recalibration of ownership perception. However, the risk factors influencing the recalibration of ownership perception caused by vision-respiratory interaction remain unclear.

- This study investigates the safety and long-term outcomes of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) for STEMI performed by less experienced operators under the guidance of experienced operators.
- A total of 775 STEMI patients were divided into two groups based on operator experience, with outcomes suggesting that less experienced operators, when supported by seasoned professionals, had similar rates of cardiovascular events compared to experienced operators.
- The results showed no significant increase in risk for in-hospital mortality or 5-year cardiovascular events for patients treated by less experienced operators, indicating that proper support can ensure safety in pPCI procedures.
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile parasitic sequences that have expanded within the host genome. It has been hypothesized that host organisms have expanded the Krüppel-associated box-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs), which epigenetically suppress TEs, to counteract disorderly TE transpositions. This process is referred to as the evolutionary arms race.

Methods And Results: We enrolled 340 consecutive patients with ACS who were transported by EMS within 12 h of symptom onset. According to Japanese Circulation Society guidelines, CS-ACS (n=48) was diagnosed with or without a pharmacological provocation test (n=34 and n=14, respectively).
Background: This study aimed to systematically evaluate voice symptoms during heart failure (HF) treatments and to exploratorily extract HF-related vocal biomarkers.
Methods And Results: This single-center, prospective study longitudinally acquired 839 audio files from 59 patients with acute decompensated HF. Patients' voices were analyzed along with conventional HF indicators (New York Heart Association [NYHA] class, presence of pulmonary congestion and pleural effusion on chest X-ray, and B-type natriuretic peptide [BNP]) and GOKAN scores based on the assessment of a cardiologist.
