Operating on the Oldest-Old: Vaginal Prolapse Surgery Outcomes in Women Over 90.
Urogynecology (Phila)
January 2025
Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA.
Importance: Women aged 90 years and older ("oldest-old") represent a small but growing population who may experience bothersome pelvic organ prolapse and opt for surgical repair.
Objective: This study aimed to compare perioperative adverse events (AEs) within 8 weeks of prolapse surgery between women ≥90 years and younger patients.
Study Design: We performed a secondary analysis of a dual-center retrospective cohort study of women ≥61 years old undergoing major prolapse surgery from January 2016 to May 2023.
Differential determinants and prognostic value of aortic valve sclerosis over carotid atherosclerosis.
Int J Cardiol
January 2025
Division of Cardiology, Heart Center, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:
Background: Aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) is a progressive atherosclerotic disease associated with future cardiovascular events (CVE). However, whether its development and prognostic value are independent of arterial atherosclerosis has not been thoroughly investigated. We evaluated the determinants and prognostic value of AVS in conjunction with carotid atherosclerosis.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2024
Department of Cardiac Surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Background: The rate of permanent pacemaker implantation after tricuspid valve (TV) operation is thought to be high, with some studies quoting rates of 20% to 30%. We identified the rate of pacemaker implantation after TV operation at a high-volume regional reference center to better characterize the contemporary risk of pacemaker.
Methods: All adult patients without preexisting pacemakers undergoing TV operation from 2011 to 2022 were included.
Concomitant Tricuspid Valve Surgery With Mitral Valve Surgery for Moderate Tricuspid Regurgitation.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University-St Louis Medical School, St Louis, Missouri.
Background: Tricuspid valve surgical procedures (TVS) concomitant with mitral valve (MV) surgical procedures for less than severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) remains controversial. This study examined the long-term outcomes of patients with moderate or mild to moderate TR undergoing MV surgical procedures with or without TVS.
Methods: Patients with moderate or mild to moderate TR undergoing MV replacement or repair between January 2002 and June 2021 were included.
Mineral-dependent release, migration and enrichment of toxic elements during black shale weathering: An integrated study from profile scale to mineral scale.
J Hazard Mater
January 2025
School of Civil Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, Sichuan Province 610031, China.
Chemical weathering of lithologies with high geochemical backgrounds such as black shale has been proposed to be a critical source for toxic elements in soil and water systems. However, mechanisms controlling the release, migration and enrichment of toxic elements during black shale weathering are poorly understood. This study utilized a suite of micro analytical techniques such as TESCAN integrated mineral analyzer (TIMA), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron micro-probe analysis (EMPA) to elucidate the intimate relationship between mineralogical transformations and elemental behaviors from profile scale to mineral scale.
