Unusual course of Serratia marcescens (SM) infectious endocarditis (IE) and literature review (2016-2024; 26 cases). A 44-year-old man, with chronic venous ulcers, presented 21/2 years after a MSSA tricuspid valve IE, a tricuspid and aortic valves SM IE . After 6 weeks of antibiotherapy (meropenem i.

Unlabelled: The combination of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with outflow tract obstruction, severe pre-capillary and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension, and severe primary mitral regurgitation is rare and presents distinct management challenges.
Background And Clinical Significance: Pulmonary hypertension is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy managed medically and often precludes patients from undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass due to increased surgical morbidity and mortality. In studies specifically evaluating surgical myectomy, however, survival is favorable in patients with moderate-to-severe pulmonary hypertension.

Elasmobranchs are commonly carnivores and are important in energy transfer across marine ecosystems. Despite this, relatively few studies have examined the physiological underpinnings of nutrient acquisition in these animals. Here, we investigated the mechanisms of uptake at the spiral valve intestine for two representative amino acids (-alanine, -leucine) and one representative fatty acid (oleic acid), each common to the diet of a carnivore, the Pacific spiny dogfish (Squalus suckleyi).

Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with a rare form of ventricular septal defect (VSD) needs careful attention when choosing the optimal strategy for repair. A neonate with TGA and an atypical VSD, which extended from the perimembranous to the juxta-arterial regions, underwent the arterial switch procedure. The large VSD was successfully closed via a trans-tricuspid combined with a trans-aortic valve approach concomitantly with the arterial switch maneuver.

Background: Population-based analyses may reduce uncertainty related to referral bias and/or incomplete follow-up.
Objectives: This study analyzed long-term mortality and durability of mitral valve repair in a geographically defined population with clinical and echocardiographic follow-up.
Methods: We used the Rochester Epidemiology Project to identify 153 Olmsted County patients who underwent mitral valve repair for degenerative regurgitation from 1993 to 2018.
