Surgical treatment of a giant hydatid cyst in the interventricular septum.
Multimed Man Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
The surgical procedure detailed in this case report focuses on the treatment of a large cardiac hydatid cyst located in the intraventricular septum. The surgical intervention comprised a comprehensive approach involving a median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass. A localized mass below the tricuspid valve at the basal region of the interventricular septum was revealed.

- The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of antenatal corticosteroids (ANS) on male and female fetuses without anomalies, specifically regarding mortality and short-term health outcomes in infants born before 32 weeks of gestation.
- In analyzing 210 preterm infants, the results revealed that male infants exposed to ANS had a lower mortality rate (11%) compared to females (23%), but no significant differences were found in other health issues like intraventricular hemorrhage or respiratory distress syndrome, except for a higher rate of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in males.
- The research concluded that ANS does not influence mortality rates in female fetuses, suggesting future studies could explore personalized ANS treatment based on fetal sex.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore the relationship between antenatal magnesium sulfate (MgSO) exposure and the occurrence of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants, particularly those born between 24 and 31 weeks of gestation.
- - Results showed that while antenatal MgSO exposure was linked to a higher risk of hemodynamically significant PDA (hsPDA), it did not influence the rates of PDA ligation or the presence of open PDA at discharge.
- - The findings suggest that high doses of MgSO (over 20g) might increase hsPDA risk, but more research is necessary to clarify how the dosage impacts these outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of the Neonatal Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (nSOFA) scoring system in predicting mortality in very preterm infants with late-onset sepsis (LOS).
- It analyzed data from 120 episodes of LOS in infants born before 32 weeks' gestation, comparing nSOFA scores at various time points and found that higher scores were linked to increased mortality risk.
- The results suggest that nSOFA is a viable tool for predicting health outcomes in extremely preterm infants, with potential enhancements through additional factors like birth weight and immune cell counts.
