Diagnosis and Prognosis of Isolated Cardiac Sarcoidosis: Multidisciplinary Diagnosis Versus Japanese Circulation Society Criteria.

The prognosis of isolated cardiac sarcoidosis (ICS) has not been fully elucidated. The only diagnostic criteria available for ICS, the Japanese Circulation Society (JCS) criteria, have not been validated. We aimed to study the prognosis of ICS according to 2 different diagnostic strategies.

Right ventricle-specific therapies in acute respiratory distress syndrome: a scoping review.

Objective: To summarize knowledge and identify gaps in evidence regarding treatment of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Data Sources: We conducted a comprehensive search of MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials.

Study Selection: Studies were included if they reported effects of treatments on right ventricular function, whether or not the intent was to modify right ventricular function.

Caesarean section rates in primigravid women categorised by age and BMI.

The rising caesarean section (CS) rate is a complex issue, particularly in an increasingly heterogenous nulliparous population. The study aim was to stratify the CS rate in nulliparous women by age and BMI to determine if any difference existed. This was a retrospective review of CS procedures of nulliparous women in two centres in Ireland (2014 through 2017).

Conservative Management of Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Indian Contribution.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a very common condition which can greatly impact a woman's quality of life. Treatment options are individualized and typically involve a combination of physiotherapy, pessary insertion and surgical treatments. It is well known that nulliparous prolapse in India constitutes 1.

Examining the role and relevance of the critical analysis and comparison of cesarean section rates in a changing world.

Cesarean section (CS) is one of the most commonly performed surgical operations in the world and has resulted in improved maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality rates internationally. However, concerns have been raised regarding the ever increasing CS rates to what has been described as 'epidemic' proportions. Global CS rates have increased from 6.
