Please verify if "pigtail guided" should be "pigtail catheter-guided": Recent design changes for left atrial appendage (LAA) closure devices have led to significant improvement by facilitating the procedural workflow (no need for pigtail guided LAA intubation), moving the workspace from distal LAA to the landing zone (closed distal end design), and improving device stability (different anchor design). The availability of different device types (plug vs disc-lobe design) offers an option to tailor a device type to a patient's anatomy; thereby, sealing results have improved substantially. The issue of device-related thrombus has not been resolved and deserves future research, with the goal of eliminating postprocedural antithrombotic medication without increasing risk for stroke.

Multi-locus genome wide association study uncovers genetics of fresh seed dormancy in groundnut.

Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in groundnut leads to substantial yield losses and reduced seed quality, resulting in reduced market value of groundnuts. Breeding cultivars with 14-21 days of fresh seed dormancy (FSD) holds promise for precisely mitigating the yield and quality deterioration. In view of this, six multi-locus genome-wide association study (ML-GWAS) models alongside a single-locus GWAS (SL-GWAS) model were employed on a groundnut mini-core collection using multi season phenotyping and 58 K "Axiom_Arachis" array genotyping data.

Purpose Of Review: Heart failure (HF) is often accompanied by a constellation of comorbidities, leading to diverse patient presentations and clinical trajectories. While traditional methods have provided valuable insights into our understanding of HF, network medicine approaches seek to leverage these complex relationships by analyzing disease at a systems level. This review introduces the concepts of network medicine and explores the use of comorbidity networks to study HF and heart disease.

Current research primarily focuses on the pathological mechanisms of spinal cord injury (SCI), seeking to promote spinal cord repair and restore motorial and sensory functions by elucidating mechanisms of cell death or axonal regeneration. However, SCI is almost irreversible, and patients often struggle to regain mobility or self-care abilities after injuries. Consequently, there has been significant interest in modulating systemic symptoms following SCI to improve patients' quality of life.

Objectives: Psychological distress is a state of emotional suffering and discomfort that often manifests as anxiety, depression, or other mental health symptoms, impairing daily functioning, and hindering concentration, relationships, and work or school performance. We aimed to examine the disutility associated with psychological distress.
Methods: We utilized longitudinal data obtained from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey.
