AI Article Synopsis
- Isolated sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare condition, affecting less than 1.5% of congenital heart disease repairs globally.
- A 64-year-old man experienced right-sided heart failure due to a large aneurysm of the right coronary sinus of Valsalva that obstructed the right ventricular outflow tract.
- The surgical treatment included resection of the obstructed area and patch repair to restore normal function.
Article Abstract
Isolated sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare occurrence, with an incidence of <1.5% among congenital heart disease repairs in the world. We recount the case of a 64-year-old man who presented with right-sided heart failure symptoms caused by a severely dilated right coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm that substantially obstructed the right ventricular outflow tract. Successful surgical repair involved right ventricular outflow tract resection and subcoronary patch repair.

January 2025
Department of Oculoplastic, Orbital & Lacrimal Surgery, Aichi Medical University Hospital, 1-1 Yazako-Karimata, Nagakute, Aichi, 480-1195, Japan.
Purpose: To define the anatomical variance between orbital floor and medial orbital wall blowout fractures, and its change with age.
Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study analyzing data from 557 patients with isolated blowout fractures of the orbital floor or medial orbital wall. Axial and quasi-sagittal CT images were analyzed to compare radiologic data on orbital wall morphology between fracture site groups and among age groups.
Invasive Infections in Children: Two Cases from a Pediatric Infectious Diseases Unit in Italy.

December 2024
Pediatric Infectious Disease Unit, Children's Hospital of Parma, 43126 Parma, Italy.
In recent years, an increasing number of reports have described invasive infections caused by bacteria from (SAGs). seems to be more related with pleuropulmonary infections and abscess of the brain and deep soft tissues, and it is more likely to cause suppurative and non-bacteremic infections compared to other members of the same genus. We present two clinical cases of invasive infections in pediatric patients: a liver abscess case and a pansinusitis case associated with bilateral otomastoiditis and parapharyngeal abscess complicated by acute mediastinitis, thrombophlebitis of the cavernous sinus, and thrombosis of the cranial tract of the ipsilateral jugular vein.

Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging
January 2025
Department of Radiology, UZ Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.
Aims: Atrial septal defect (ASD) and partial abnormal pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) are noncyanotic congenital heart defects (CHD) that produce a left-to-right shunt. This single-center retrospective study aimed to assess the hemodynamic impact of isolated ASD, isolated PAPVC, and ASD-associated PAPVC using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).
Methods And Results: From our CMR registry (2002-2024), 110 patients were included: isolated ASD (n=64), isolated PAPVC (n=18), ASD-associated PAPVC (n=28, mostly sinus venosus septal defects).
Predictive Factors of Dental Implant Failure: A Retrospective Study Using Decision Tree Regression.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Orthodontics, Kothiwal Dental College and Research Centre, Moradabad, IND.
Introduction: Dental implants are routinely used to replace missing teeth. Therefore, the primary aim of the present study was to assess the single-unit implant failure rate over a period of seven years from 2015 to 2021, with a minimum of two years post-implant follow-up. The secondary aim was to identify the risk factors associated with implant failure using machine learning decision tree regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses.
