Although rotational atherectomy (RA) and intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) have been proved to be effective for calcified de novo coronary lesions, their use in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) is still controversial. No comparison of these techniques in patients with ISR has been published so far. We sought to evaluate safety and feasibility of RA and IVL in patients with calcified ISR.

- Allergic asthma happens when the body makes too many IgE antibodies and certain chemicals that cause breathing problems and mucus production.
- Scientists created special vaccines to help reduce these harmful antibodies and chemicals in mice, showing that it can work for a long time after vaccination.
- This new vaccine approach might be a cheaper and longer-lasting way to help people with allergic asthma, but more research is needed to ensure it's safe and works well for humans.
Aims: This study aims to report long-term mortality, echocardiographic, and clinical outcomes of patients receiving treatment for functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) with the Carillon device.
Methods And Results: This was a single centre analysis of prospectively collected data from patients treated with the Carillon Mitral Contour System for symptomatic congestive heart failure despite guideline-directed medical therapy, who were included from a single centre from the TITAN II study. All patients presented with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 2 or greater symptoms, grade 2+ to 4+ FMR, left ventricular enlargement, and reduced ejection fraction.
Background: Eligibility to immunotherapy is based on the determination of IgE reactivity to a specific allergen by means of skin prick or in vitro testing. Biomarkers predicting the likelihood of clinical improvement during immunotherapy would significantly improve patient selection.
Methods: Proteins were differentially assessed by using 2-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis and label-free mass spectrometry in pretreatment sera obtained from clinical responders and nonresponders within a cohort of 82 patients with grass pollen allergy receiving sublingual immunotherapy or placebo.
Rationale: Ethanol rapidly eradicated experimental biofilm. Clinical studies of ethanol lock to prevent catheter-related infections (CRIs) suggest preventive efficacy. No such studies have been done in intensive care units (ICU).
