Introduction: is bacterial pathogen that is pervasive in swine populations and serves multiple roles in respiratory disease.
Methods: This study utilized whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis to assess the sequence type (ST), identify the genetic diversity of genes predicted to encode regulatory and virulence factors, and evaluated any potential antimicrobial resistance harbored by isolates obtained from swine within the U.S.
Background: Clinical genetic evaluation of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is implemented variably or not at all. Identifying needs and barriers to genetic evaluations will enable strategies to enhance precision medicine care.
Methods: An online survey was conducted in June 2024 among cardiologist investigators of the DCM Consortium from US advanced heart failure/transplant (HF/TX) programs to collect demographics, training, program characteristics, genetic evaluation practices for DCM, and implementation needs.
Article Synopsis
- This study assesses the outcomes of adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma in obese versus nonobese patients, using data from 46 centers from 2012 to 2022.
- It finds that while obesity does not significantly increase the rate of complications or comprehensive complication index (CCI), it does lead to a longer hospital stay for patients.
- Furthermore, minimally invasive surgical techniques, like laparoscopic and robotic surgeries, are associated with less morbidity in obese patients, and a retroperitoneal approach may provide additional benefits.
Article Synopsis
- - Recent studies highlight a significant health issue known as "post-PE syndrome" (PPES) in patients who survived pulmonary embolism (PE), with cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) being useful for evaluating these individuals.
- - A systematic review analyzed 14 studies involving 804 post-PE patients to assess their exercise capacity and ventilatory efficiency through CPET data collected before August 2023.
- - Findings revealed no major differences in exercise capacity between patients assessed less than six months versus six months or more after PE; however, those evaluated later showed significantly better ventilatory efficiency.
Objective: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), including obstructive HCM (oHCM), is the most common inherited cardiomyopathy causing lifestyle-limiting symptoms. Data are lacking about patients' perspectives on the daily impact of their symptoms. This qualitative interview study was conducted to better understand patients' experiences with oHCM.
