Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a new aggressive treatment method for acute type A aortic dissection using the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique, which extends repair to the aortic arch and proximal descending thoracic aorta.
- A total of 66 patients (average age ~63 years, mostly men) underwent emergency surgery between December 2017 and January 2022, with researchers assessing 30-day mortality, in-hospital mortality, and postoperative complications.
- Results showed a 30-day mortality rate of 10.6% and in-hospital mortality of 13.6%, with key predictors for long-term survival identified, including left ventricular ejection fraction and presence of peripheral vascular disease
Objective: To study immunological and virological parameters in HIV-1-seropositive adults treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for at least 7 months after immunisation with MF59-adjuvanted (FLUAD, Chiron, Siena, Italy) or with non-adjuvanted (AGRIPPAL, Chiron) trivalent influenza vaccine.
Design: Blood samples, collected before and after vaccination, were analysed for the presence of antibodies against the vaccine antigens, for number of CD4+ T lymphocytes and HIV-1 RNA levels.
Results: Forty-four volunteers received FLUAD and 40 AGRIPPAL influenza vaccine.
