Mechanical circulatory support for high-risk surgical aortic valve and ascending aortic replacement in severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis: a case series.

Background: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect (reported incidence of 0.5%-2%) and is commonly associated with proximal aortic dilation. Patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) of BAV have been shown to have worse pre-operative left ventricular (LV) function as well as a higher incidence of post-operative heart failure hospitalization when compared with analogous patients with tri-leaflet aortic valve disease.

Association of a device-based remote management heart failure pathway with outcomes: TriageHF Plus real-world evaluation.

Aims: Clinical pathways have been shown to improve outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). Although patients with HF often have a cardiac implantable electronic device, few studies have reported the utility of device-derived risk scores to augment and organize care. TriageHF Plus is a device-based HF clinical pathway (DHFP) that uses remote monitoring alerts to trigger structured telephone assessment for HF stability and optimization.

Diagnostic Utility of Conners Continuous Performance Test-3 for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Systematic Review.

Objective: To review the literature on the utility of the Conners CPT-3 in persons with ADHD.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted. Six databases were searched using inclusion criteria: research studies, year 2000+, English, and ages 8+.

The Use of Hyaluronidase in Aesthetic Practice: A Comparative Study of Practitioner Usage in Elective and Emergency Situations.

Background: Hyaluronic acids (HAs) continue to be the fillers of choice worldwide and their popularity is growing. Adverse events (AEs) are able to be resolved through the use of hyaluronidase (HYAL). However, routine HYAL use has been at issue due to perceived safety issues.
