Background: Specialist cardiac care has been shown to reduce inpatient mortality following non-ST segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), but whether this benefit extends beyond index admission is unclear.
Methods: Using the linked Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) registry, and Office for National Statistics mortality recording, we included 425,205 NSTEMI patients admitted to UK hospitals, between January 2005 and March 2019 that survived to discharge. 217,964 (52 %) were admitted to a specialty cardiac ward.

This study aimed to compare mucinous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the appendix in terms of survival and investigate the risk factors influencing survival. The data for this study were retrieved from the SEER database (SEER Research Plus 17 registries). Patients diagnosed with appendix cancer between 2004 and 2019 were included.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain to be the leading cause of premature mortality worldwide, and healthcare workers (HCWs) are potentially at risk for developing CVDs. Office-based Globorisk is a ten-year risk prediction tool for CVDs risk scores. This present study aims to determine the prevalence of CVDs risk and risk factors associated with moderate-high CVDs risk among primary HCWs in government health clinics in Selangor.

Objectives: While valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSRR) has demonstrated satisfactory outcomes, its utility in a reoperative sternotomy setting remains uncertain. This study evaluates the perioperative safety and long-term durability of reoperative sternotomy VSRR.
Methods: All consecutive VSRR at two centers from 2005-2020 were included.

Background: Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty are highly successful procedures for treatment of glenohumeral arthritis to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and overall quality of life. However, the long-term survivorship of the implant systems is less widely documented in the existing literature. The purpose of this study was to establish the long-term patient outcomes and identify factors influencing the postoperative implant survivorship of total anatomic shoulder arthroplasty devices/procedures utilizing the short-stemmed prosthesis and hybrid glenoid components of the Comprehensive Shoulder System (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN, USA) at an average of ten years.
