Background: While several studies have reported on outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients with single ventricle physiology, few studies have described outcomes of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in this unique population. The objective of this study was to determine survival and risk factors for mortality after ECPR in single ventricle patients prior to superior cavopulmonary anastomosis, using a large sample from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Registry.
Methods: We included single ventricle patients who underwent ECPR for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) between January 2012 and December 2021.

Introduction: Acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries can be disabling because of prolonged rehabilitation process following surgical reconstructions. Rates of ACL injuries among military service members are close to 10 times greater than the general civilian population, likely because of the operation tempo and the unique physical requirements. Studies debated functional testing requirements for return to sports, but no study investigated the impact of functional training and re-injury rates following ACL reconstruction and their association with functional testing outcomes and time to return to full duty in United States Naval Academy (USNA) Midshipmen.

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasms are tumors that occur during pregnancy, while non-gestational trophoblastic tumors have a similar histology but are present outside of gestation. Literature reports several cases of non-gestational trophoblastic tumors of primary pulmonary origin, which pose diagnostic challenges and are associated with a poor prognosis. This report details a case of somatic high-grade carcinoma with trophoblastic differentiation primarily manifesting in the left lung with recurrent pneumothoraces.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a global impact, with >771 million confirmed cases and 6 million deaths reported by October 2023. Cancer patients, due to their immunosuppressed status, face an increased infection risk and higher COVID-19 complications. The present study aimed to assess clinical outcomes in COVID-19-infected cancer patients, focusing on mortality rates and other aspects, providing valuable insight for better protection and outcomes.
