Article Synopsis
- A clinical trial involving 101 patients compared two surgical techniques for mildly affected aortic sinuses: the extended adventitial inversion with graft eversion anastomosis (Group A) and aorta wrapping with right atrial shunt (Group B).
- Results showed that Group A had a significantly shorter surgery duration and fewer complications, while Group B demonstrated increased aortic dimensions at follow-up.
- The study concluded that the extended adventitial inversion technique was more effective in managing aortic sinus issues, with better outcomes regarding reoperations and overall aortic health.

Article Synopsis
- - The study compares the effectiveness of dapagliflozin and empagliflozin, both sodium-glucose cotransport-2 inhibitors, in improving prognostic outcomes for heart failure patients, utilizing randomized controlled trials from various databases up to October 2021.
- - Analysis of 11 trials showed that while both drugs had similar effects on hospitalizations for heart failure, empagliflozin was more effective in reducing heart failure exacerbations, while dapagliflozin reduced all-cause mortality compared to empagliflozin.
- - The findings suggest that a daily dose of 10 mg dapagliflozin may be more beneficial overall for heart failure patients than the same dose of empagliflozin,
