The Berlin Heart EXCOR is a pulsatile paracorporeal ventricular assist device (VAD) for neonates, infants, children and adults with congenital or acquired severe ventricular dysfunction. Berlin Heart EXCOR VADs are routinely used as either a bridge to a cardiac transplantation, or occasionally as a bridge to ventricular recovery. Our programmatic philosophy is to bridge neonates and infants with functionally univentricular ductal-dependent systemic circulation or functionally univentricular ductal-dependent pulmonary circulation who are at high risk for staged palliation because of important cardiac risk factors with a single-ventricle VAD (sVAD) as a bridge to a cardiac transplant.

Prion disease is an uncommon entity characterized by exceptionally rapid neurodegenerative deterioration. There are three categories of prion disease: (1) sporadic: sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD), sporadic fatal insomnia, and protease-sensitive prionopathy; (2) genetic: genetic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, familial fatal insomnia, and Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome; and (3) acquired: Kuru, iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Although it is an incurable disease, a specific pathophysiological mechanism exists involving neuronal loss, glial cell proliferation, absence of inflammatory response, development of vacuoles leading to a spongiform appearance, and the presence of prions.

Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) kills people and dogs in rural communities throughout the Americas and in urban epidemics in Brazil and Mexico. The companion Currents in One Health by Foley et al, AJVR , March 2025, addresses the urban ecology of this devastating disease across the Americas. Cases acquired from Dermacentor spp ticks are sylvatic and sporadic, in contrast with peridomestic cases from Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato, which relies on dogs as hosts.
