We report a case of severe Barlow's disease with a very complex pathology, in which we applied the "edge-to-edge" technique, creating a triple-orifice mitral valve. Different techniques should be used to correct a similar valve defect; the combination of different surgical procedures and the valve pathology may influence the post-repair recurrence of regurgitation. We believe that it is better to perform a simple and reproducible repair than to carry on with combined complex procedures that could increase the risk of a suboptimal outcome.

Short-chain enoyl-CoA hydratase 1 deficiency (ECHS1D) is a rare genetic disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the ECHS1 gene. ECHS1D is characterised by severe neurological and physical impairment that often leads to childhood mortality. Therapies such as protein and single nutrient-restricted diets show poor efficacy, whereas the development of new treatments is hindered by the low prevalence of the disorder and a lack of model systems for treatment testing.

Background: Asthma appears to be associated with a variety of psychiatric illnesses including depression and alcohol use disorder. The current study examined the relationship between asthma, heavy alcohol intake and suggested alcohol dependence controlling for depressive symptom severity.
Methods: Data from 37,625 adult patients at the Cooper Clinic who enrolled in the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study, completed a medical history questionnaire including information on asthma, depressive symptoms and alcohol use were used.
