Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzes the effects of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) on hospitalization rates for patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) and symptomatic heart failure (HF), aiming to clarify conflicting results from previous research.
- - The results indicate that patients who underwent M-TEER experienced significantly lower rates of recurrent heart failure hospitalizations and cardiovascular (CV) deaths over a 24-month period, as well as an improved quality of life compared to those in the control group.
- - Specifically, patients in the M-TEER group spent fewer days in the hospital due to HF or CV issues, with a statistically significant reduction in total days lost due to these health complications.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effectiveness of transcatheter mitral-valve repair in patients suffering from heart failure and functional mitral regurgitation, comparing it to standard medical therapy.
- In a trial with 505 patients, results showed that those who received the device had significantly lower rates of hospitalizations for heart failure and cardiovascular death compared to those who only received medical therapy.
- Additionally, patients in the device group experienced a greater improvement in health status, as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, indicating better outcomes with the transcatheter procedure.
A qualitative study identifying implementation strategies using the i-PARIHS framework to increase access to pre-exposure prophylaxis at federally qualified health centers in Mississippi.

Background: Mississippi (MS) experiences disproportionally high rates of new HIV infections and limited availability of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are poised to increase access to PrEP. However, little is known about the implementation strategies needed to successfully integrate PrEP services into FQHCs in MS.

Tele-mental health (TMH) services, including both mental and behavioral healthcare (MBH) services, emerged as a cornerstone in delivering pediatric mental healthcare during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, yet their utilization and effects on healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and medical expenditures remain unclear. To bridge the gap, this study aims to investigate the association between TMH utilization and sociodemographic factors and assess its associated HCRU and medical expenditures within a pediatric population in Mississippi. Studying 1,972 insured pediatric patients who accessed outpatient MBH services at the study institution between January 2020 and June 2023, age, race, insurance type, rural residency, and household income were identified as key determinants of TMH utilization.

Objective: Telehealth is the use of technology to deliver medical services. Potential uses among veterinarians include consulting with specialists about complicated cases, sending in electronic prescriptions, or meeting with clients to discuss patient health. Although the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic posed many challenges to the veterinary profession, it accelerated the adoption of telehealth among veterinarians.
