The success rate of reproductive treatment methods depends on many different factors. The most important and discussed ones in the literature are maternal age, the causes of infertility, the ovarian response to stimulation, the influence of the male factor and sperm quality, embryo quality and the various uterine pathologies. Some couples fail repeatedly after transferring good quality embryos without any obvious reason and this becomes a major continuing problem after IVF/ICSI procedures. It can be speculated that in these couples, insufficiency of the endometrium might be a possible reason for implantation failure. This review article summarized current literature describing the consecutive endomertial procedures involved in successful embryo implantation. It is believed that efforts to align criteria for definition of recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and attempts to classify different RIF types would develop guidelines for treatment procedures which would result in an increase in patients' opportunities to conceive.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has revolutionized the management of aortic stenosis and has become the standard of care across a broad spectrum of patients with aortic stenosis. However, it is still associated with high incidence of conduction abnormalities, particularly new left bundle branch block (LBBB). Management of these patients remains a challenge.

Heart failure (HF) increases the risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF), leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, better prediction of this risk may improve treatment strategies. Although several predictors based on clinical data have been developed, the establishment of a transcriptome-based predictor of AF incidence in HF has proven to be more problematic.

Omecamtiv mecarbil in precision-cut living heart failure slices: A story of a double-edged sword.

J Mol Cell Cardiol Plus

September 2023

Translational Cardiothoracic Surgery Research Lab, Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Heart failure (HF) is a rapidly growing pandemic while medical treatment options remain limited. Omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) is a novel HF drug that directly targets the myosin heads of the cardiac muscle. This study used living myocardial slices (LMS) from patients with HF to evaluate the direct biomechanical effects of OM as compared to dobutamine.
