Concomitant Tricuspid Valve Surgery With Mitral Valve Surgery for Moderate Tricuspid Regurgitation.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University-St Louis Medical School, St Louis, Missouri.
Background: Tricuspid valve surgical procedures (TVS) concomitant with mitral valve (MV) surgical procedures for less than severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) remains controversial. This study examined the long-term outcomes of patients with moderate or mild to moderate TR undergoing MV surgical procedures with or without TVS.
Methods: Patients with moderate or mild to moderate TR undergoing MV replacement or repair between January 2002 and June 2021 were included.
Value driven outcome (VDO) assessment for the treatment of olecranon fractures.
Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Utah, 590 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City, UT, 84108, USA.
Purpose: Controversy remains about the ideal construct for certain olecranon fractures. The purpose of this study was to compare cost-effectiveness with the value driven outcomes tool between fixation strategies of olecranon fractures.
Methods: All surgically treated isolated proximal ulna fractures (CPT code 24,685) at a level 1 trauma center from 2013 to 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.
Concomitant medication effects on patients with lung cancer taking immune checkpoint inhibitors a review.

Department of Pharmacy, Sichuan Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Sichuan Cancer Hospital & Institute, Sichuan Cancer Center, Affiliated Cancer Hospital of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, No. 55, Section 4, South Renmin Road, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
In the past decade, a variety of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are currently approved for lung cancer in the world. As a new therapeutic approach, ICIs have shown significant clinical benefits in the first-line or second-line treatment for advanced lung cancer, improving the survival and quality of life of patients. Patients need to take multiple drugs in the meantime due to their own disease or side effects during treatment.

Curr Opin Cardiol
December 2024
Division of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Surgery, Western University, London, Ontario, Canada.
Purpose Of Review: Management of tricuspid regurgitation and annular dilation during mitral valve repair remains controversial. We review the latest evidence on indications to repair the tricuspid valve during mitral valve repair and discuss surgical strategies and complications.
Recent Findings: Concomitant tricuspid valve repair of moderate tricuspid regurgitation is effective in reducing tricuspid regurgitation progression at 2 years, but has not shown benefit to late survival, quality of life, or functional benefit, and is associated with increased permanent pacemaker implantation (PPM) rates, which is associated with reduced late survival.
Gun-related violence is becoming increasingly more common in the United States, and ballistic injuries pose a challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon on trauma call. The guiding principles of trauma care are almost exclusively based on blunt trauma, and the management principles do not always translate. Ballistic long bone fractures, particularly of the lower extremity, can often be managed with similar principles, although the injury pattern can make restoration of anatomic alignment a challenge.
