Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive atrophy of the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, with concomitant increase in ventricular volume. Lomecel-B is a novel cell-based therapeutic approach to AD that targets neuroinflammation, microvascular dysfunction, and has the potential to stimulate endogenous tissue regeneration. We conducted MRI analysis of brain morphology in the CLEAR-MIND study, a 49-patient proof-of-concept study that tested 3 different dosing regimens of Lomecel-B vs placebo in patients with mild AD dementia.

Objectives: The size, shape, and contractility of the heart's atrial chambers have not been evaluated in fetuses with growth restriction (FGR) or who are small-for-gestational-age (SGA) as defined by the Delphi consensus protocol. This study aimed to examine the atrial chambers using speckle tracking analysis to identify any changes that may be specific for either growth disturbance.
Methods: Sixty-three fetuses were evaluated with an estimated fetal weight <10th percentile who were classified as FGR or SGA based on the Delphi consensus protocol.

The efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has been established, but the efficacy and safety of cryoballoon ablation (CBA) and pulsed field ablation (PFA) remain unclear. This retrospective cohort study included 223 patients with paroxysmal non-valvular AF and HFpEF who underwent their first AF ablation between January 2017 and December 2021 and were divided into RFA (n = 77), CBA (n = 127), and PFA (n = 19) groups. After a mean follow-up of 11.

Introduction: Hyperuricemia (HU) is associated with an increased risk of incident heart failure (HF) and adverse HF outcomes. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have a greater prevalence of HU.
Aims: We evaluated the prognostic impact of HU in patients with HF according to the coexistence of DM.

Background: Increased levels of platelet distribution width (PDW) can predict cardiac death and infarction recurrence in acute myocardial infarction. PDW appears to be a prognosis marker in acute heart failure (HF); however, its impact on chronic HF is still unknown. We investigated the impact of PDW on chronic HF.
