Background: The PASCAL P10 system for mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair has undergone iterations, including introduction of the narrower Ace implant and the Precision delivery system.
Objectives: The study sought to evaluate outcomes and the impact of PASCAL mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair device iterations.
Methods: The REPAIR (REgistry of PAscal for mltral Regurgitation) study is an investigator-initiated, multicenter registry including consecutive patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) treated from 2019 to 2024.
Article Synopsis
- Dystonia is a common movement disorder with a complex genetic background, showing significant variability in its clinical presentation and genetics.
- The study involved exome sequencing of nearly 1,924 patients, mainly from two major registries, focusing on those with genetic prescreening negative results and early age at onset.
- Researchers discovered 137 likely pathogenic variants in 51 genes among the patients, with many being novel, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing and understanding the disorder's genetic links.
In interactive tasks, agents often aim at eliciting a certain response from their partner. Not accomplishing this goal calls for adjusting behavior on the fly. Previous research suggests that such adjustments differ when interacting with a machine or with a fellow human agent.

People often cannot remember the source of their memories despite recalling other elements of a remembered event correctly. Observation inflation is one such error of source monitoring. It refers to remembering the actions of another agent as self-performed.

We sought to identify patient subgroups that could still benefit from EMB in the CMR era.
Methods: Data of patients presenting with myocarditis between 01/2016 and 06/2023 were analysed according to patient risks.
