Anomalous left coronary artery origin from the nonfacing sinus of pulmonary artery - Successful repair of a rare entity.

Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital heart disease, presenting either in isolation or with other cardiac anomalies. The most common presentation is congestive heart failure in infancy, though some may remain asymptomatic till adulthood. A 5-month-old infant with congestive heart failure was diagnosed to have ALCAPA with severe Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.

Iatrogenic Post-Surgical Cyanosis Due to Vena Caval Redirection to the Left Atrium and Its Transcatheter Management.

During surgery for oval fossa defects, inadvertent suturing of pericardial patches to a prominent Eustachian valve diverts the inferior vena caval blood to the left atrium causing iatrogenic cyanosis. A similar complication may arise after surgery for superior sinus venosus defects. Surgical patch in a wrong plane may direct the superior vena cava towards the left atrium.

Graphene-infused terracotta acoustic sound amplifiers.

This work introduces a novel approach for enhancing mobile audio performance by incorporating graphene-infused terracotta as an acoustic amplifier. Leveraging the high thermal conductivity and mechanical strength of graphene, this study demonstrates the design, fabrication, and acoustic characterization of terracotta amplifiers. We demonstrate the significant impact of graphene-infused terracotta amplifiers on improving sound amplification in addition to mechanical strength.

A new simple technique for stabilizing the guidewire position within the left ventricle during transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation.

Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation is a preferred treatment for degenerating mitral bioprosthetic valves in high-risk surgical patients. A balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve delivered through a postero-inferior transseptal puncture is deployed within the prosthesis over a guidewire secured in the left ventricle. Patients with aneurysmal left atrium and altered angulation between the planes of atrial septum and mitral prosthesis have unstable position of the guidewire that flips out of the left ventricle into the left atrium when the valve delivery system is advanced.

The prevalence of anaemia in rural adolescent girls - A cross-sectional study to understand the sociodemographic and dietary determinants in Dharwad District, India.

Context: Anaemia is one leading cause of morbidity among adolescent girls. Prevention, early detection, and treatment can break the intergeneration cycle of malnutrition.

Aims/objectives: The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of anaemia and assess its sociodemographic determinants and understand its association with the dietary pattern of rural adolescent girls.
