Department of Public Health and Primary Care, School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.

Published: April 2023

This paper provides a commentary on the recently published "The incidence and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in metropolitan versus rural locations: A systematic review and meta-analysis". The importance of this work due to the systematic search for the evidence and relative consistency of studies in terms of the direction of effect is highlighted. The commentary includes discussion on the variability between studies and the urban-rural differences in clinical care. Opportunities for future research are described, as well as the need to adequately characterise the local conditions and community engagement so that the applicability of research findings can be determined for local contexts.

Hybrid Arch Aneurysm Repair With Ascending Aortic Wrap and TEVAR.

J Endovasc Ther

January 2025

Aortic Center, Hôpital Marie-Lannelongue, Groupe Hospitalier Paris Saint Joseph, Université Paris-Saclay, INSERM UMR_S 999, Le Plessis Robinson, France.

Introduction: Management of patients with large aortic arch aneurysms who are considered high risk for frozen elephant trunk technique have been challenging, especially when they have a dilated ascending aorta (AA) that precludes total endovascular branched repair (arch BEVAR). A viable option in our armamentarium is wrapping of the AA (AW), and zone 0 Ishimaru TEVAR.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of our aortic database from 2013 to 2024 to select high-risk patients with aortic arch aneurysm that had an AW and TEVAR.

Background: Atrial infarction is a complication of myocardial infarction with ventricular infarction; however, isolated atrial infarction (IAI) has rarely been reported. Herein, we report a case of IAI associated with sick sinus syndrome and atrial fibrillation (AF).

Case Summary: An 83-year-old woman was brought to the emergency department with a complaint of general malaise.

Aim: To explore the impact of age on the discriminative ability of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) 2 in prediction of unanticipated Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission, in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and mortality within 24 hours of Rapid Response Team (RRT) review. Furthermore, to investigate 30- and 90-day mortality, and the discriminative ability of NEWS 2 in prediction of long-term mortality among RRT-reviewed patients.

Methods: Prospective, multi-centre study based on 830 complete cases.

Unlabelled: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a critical health concern, where prompt access to automated external defibrillators (AEDs) significantly improves survival. This scoping review broadly investigates the feasibility and impact of dronedelivered AEDs for OHCA response.

Methods: PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science were searched from inception to August 6, 2024, with eligibility broadly including empirical data.

The role of GATA4 in mesenchymal stem cell senescence: A new frontier in regenerative medicine.

Regen Ther

March 2025

Department of Parasitology and Medical Entomology, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Jalan Yaacob Latif, 56000, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) is a multipotent progenitor cell with known differentiation potential towards various cell lineage, making it an appealing candidate for regenerative medicine. One major contributing factor to age-related MSC dysfunction is cellular senescence, which is the hallmark of relatively irreversible growth arrest and changes in functional properties. GATA4, a zinc-finger transcription factor, emerges as a critical regulator in MSC biology.
