Automatic image processing system has been developed for analysis of cardiac function with echocardiograms. Echograms of apical long axis view were transferred to microcomputer system and processed to display three dimensional images of left ventricular myocardium. With this technology, analysis of left ventricular wall thickness in three dimensional manner revealed pathophysiological changes in ischemic heart disease.

Altered diversity and composition of gut microbiota in Korean children with food allergy.
Clin Transl Allergy
March 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
Background: This study aimed to comprehensively characterize the gut microbiome and identify individual and grouped gut microbes associated with food allergy (FA) using 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
Methods: Fecal samples were collected from children with IgE-mediated FA and from sex- and age-matched controls. The V3-V4 variable regions of the 16S rRNA gene of the gut microbiome were profiled using next-generation sequencing (Illumina, USA).
Identification and mechanism analysis of biomarkers related to butyrate metabolism in COVID-19 patients.
Ann Med
December 2025
Department of Assisted Reproductive Centre, Xiangya Hospital Zhuzhou Central South University, Central South University, Zhuzhou, China.
Background: Butyrate may inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication and affect the development of COVID-19. However, there have been no systematic comprehensive analyses of the role of butyrate metabolism-related genes (BMRGs) in COVID-19.
Methods: We performed differential expression analysis of BMRGs in the brain, liver and pancreas of COVID-19 patients and controls in GSE157852 and GSE151803.
Vasoplegia in Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Current Definitions and Their Influence on Clinical Outcomes.
J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth
February 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, University Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands; Department of Cardiothoracic surgery, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands. Electronic address:
Objectives: To identify differences in the reported vasoplegia incidence, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), and 30-day mortality rates as influenced by different vasoplegia definitions used in cardiac surgery studies.
Design: A systematic review was performed covering the period 1977 to 2023 using PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Emcare and a meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42021258328) was performed.
Setting And Participants: One hundred studies defining vasoplegia in cardiac surgery patients were systematically reviewed.
Association Between Cigarette Smoking and Subclinical Markers of Cardiovascular Harm.
J Am Coll Cardiol
March 2025
Ciccarone Center for Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA; American Heart Association Tobacco Regulation and Addiction Center, Dallas, Texas, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Cigarette smoking is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular harm.
Objectives: The study sought to explore the detailed relationships between smoking intensity, pack-years, and time since cessation with inflammation, thrombosis, and subclinical atherosclerosis markers of cardiovascular harm.
Methods: We included 182,364 participants (mean age 58.
Assessing the link of malnutrition with diabetes and mortality risk in heart failure patients.
ESC Heart Fail
March 2025
Department of Musculoskeletal Ageing and Science, Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK.
Aims: Malnutrition is increasingly recognized as a significant factor influencing the clinical outcomes of patients with heart failure (HF). Diabetes exacerbates risks like hospitalizations and mortality due to cardiovascular complications. The aim of this study was to explore the association of malnutrition with diabetes and its prognostic impact on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with HF, using the nutritional assessment tools, controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI).
