This paper considers the criterion of minimum compression work to derive an expression for the interstage pressure of a multistage compressor with intercooling that includes the gas properties, pressure drops in the intercoolers, different suction gas temperatures, and isentropic efficiencies in each compression stage. The analytical expression for the interstage pressures is applied to estimate the number of compression stages and to evaluate its applicability in order to estimate interstage pressures in the operation of multistage compressors, which can be especially useful when their measurements are not available.

Comparison of Morbidity and Mortality Outcomes between Hybrid Palliation and Norwood Palliation Procedures for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.

Article Synopsis
- Hybrid palliation (HP) for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is becoming more common, prompting a comparison of its outcomes to Norwood palliation (NP) in terms of mortality and morbidity.* -
- A systematic review analyzed data from 21 studies involving 1182 HLHS patients, finding that HP patients experienced higher interstage and 1-year mortality, although 3- and 5-year mortality rates were similar to NP patients.* -
- Results indicated that HP was linked to increased morbidity, such as fewer completed palliation stages and more unexpected interventions, while also leading to longer hospital stays after initial procedures compared to NP patients.*
Postoperative Morbidity and Interstage Hemodynamics Following Stage I Palliation in Patients with Turner Syndrome and Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.

Background: Turner syndrome (TS) is associated with left-sided cardiac lesions, including hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). Mortality as high as 80-90% has been reported following stage I single-ventricle palliation (S1P) in patients with TS and HLHS (TS + HLHS). The specific factors that relate to poor outcomes are not well understood.

Cascade impactors are essential for measuring the aerodynamic particle size distribution delivered by metered dose, dry powder, and similar inhalable drug products. For quality control of used impactors, periodic optical inspection of the nozzles of each impactor stage (stage mensuration) is currently the only method sufficiently precise to test whether used impactors are suitable for continued use, in accord with pharmacopeial standards. Here, we demonstrate a new method for quality control of used impactors.

Single-stage ventricular septation for double-inlet left or right ventricle (DILV or DIRV) has historically been associated with poor outcomes. We hypothesize that staged ventricular septation may demonstrate favorable clinical outcomes to be an alternative to Fontan palliation. This single-center retrospective study reviewed patients with DILV or DIRV who underwent staged ventricular septation between 2015-2021.

Objectives: We investigated the efficacy and complication profile of intranasal dexmedetomidine for transthoracic echocardiography sedation in patients with single ventricle physiology and shunt-dependent pulmonary blood flow during the high-risk interstage period.
Methods: A single-centre, retrospective review identified interstage infants who received dexmedetomidine for echocardiography sedation. Baseline and procedural vitals were reported.
