Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess the relationship between flow measurements from left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) and invasive cardiac output measurements using different methods.
- Researchers analyzed data from 102 LVAD patients, identifying significant discordance between methods, where 45% had differences when using indirect Fick and 48% with thermodilution compared to pump flow.
- The findings suggested that while LVAD flow estimates correlate strongly with traditional cardiac output measures, particularly thermodilution, the correlation improves when low indirect Fick values are excluded.
Background: At the beginning of 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic presented a new burden on healthcare systems.
Objectives: To evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the outcome of non-COVID patients in Israel.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study at a tertiary medical center in Israel.
Accurate office blood pressure (BP) measurement remains crucial in diagnosing and managing hypertension. In this study, we aimed to compare BP measurements done over a bare arm versus a sleeved arm, while controlling all other possible sources of variance. We collected BP measurements of 100 hypertensive patients visiting a nephrology and hypertension clinic between January 2019 and December 2023.

The Israel Ministry of Health supports WES as an adjunct tool for ASD diagnosis, despite its unclear diagnostic yield and cost effectiveness. To address this knowledge gap, we applied WES to a population-based sample of 182 Bedouin and Jewish children with ASD from southern Israel, and assessed its yield in a gene panel of 205 genes robustly associated with ASD.
