Background: The objective of this study was to biomechanically evaluate anterior pericardial patch augmentation repair and the modified technique using neochord implantation in an ex vivo rheumatic mitral valve (RMV) model.
Methods: Thermal treatment to the leaflets and chordae and commissure fusion were performed on 4 healthy porcine mitral valves to generate the ex vivo RMV model. Repair was performed by conducting commissural release and anterior pericardial patch augmentation, with or without implantation of 2 neochordae.

Introduction: Post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are a significant cause of morbidity following surgery. This study evaluated the effect of intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on PPCs in overweight patients undergoing elective laparoscopic hernia surgery.
Patients And Methods: In this randomised controlled trial, 60 patients with a body mass index between 25 and 30 kg/m² were divided equally into a standard PEEP group (5 cm H2O) and a high PEEP group (10 cm H2O).
