Background: Direct mechanical ventricular actuation (DMVA) with the Anstadt cup is effective for non-blood-contacting biventricular support. Pneumatic regulation of a silicone device augments ventricular pump function. Vacuum attachment facilitates diastolic augmentation critical for biventricular support.

- - The study examined issues in emergency inter-hospital transfers of severely injured patients, specifically at high-level trauma centers, finding that the re-triage process often takes longer than the recommended two-hour window, which increases mortality risk.
- - Researchers conducted a thorough analysis involving 64 healthcare professionals to identify failures in the re-triage process, mapping out 178 issues, with the most critical being insufficient transport staff, problems with imaging transmission, and gaps in clinical information exchange.
- - The study concludes that significant failures in the transfer process stem from inadequate transportation resources and incomplete clinical information sharing, highlighting the need for improvements in these areas to enhance patient outcomes.
Background: Prior analyses of general surgery resident case logs have indicated a decline in the number of endocrine procedures performed during residency. This study aimed to identify factors contributing to the endocrine operative experience of general surgery residents and compare those who matched in endocrine surgery fellowship with those who did not.
Methods: We analyzed the case log data of graduates from 18 general surgery residency programs in the US Resident Operative Experience Consortium over an 11-year period.
A nationwide analysis of geriatric proximal humerus fractures: trends, outcomes, and cost.
Trauma Surg Acute Care Open
July 2023
Background: In the USA, proximal humerus fractures (PHF) are the third most common fracture among the elderly. Although most geriatric PHF are treated conservatively, surgical management remains an option. This retrospective study compares annual trends, patient outcomes, and hospital costs between operatively and non-operatively managed geriatric PHF.
