Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a rare congenital heart defect where both the aorta and pulmonary artery originate from the right ventricle, often accompanied by additional cardiac anomalies to mitigate circulatory imbalance, though such compensations usually fail. We report a 15-month-old infant with recurrent respiratory infections and poor weight gain, referred for computed tomography angiography. Physical examination showed a small, non-syndromic infant with pallor, tachypnea, irritability, and finger clubbing.

Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD) is the most frequent indication for corneal transplantation, with Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK), and penetrating keratoplasty (PK) being viable options. This retrospective study compared 10-year outcomes of these techniques in a large cohort of 2956 first-time keratoplasty eyes treated for FECD at a high-volume corneal transplant center in Germany. While DMEK and DSAEK provided faster visual recovery (median time to BSCVA ≥ 6/12 Snellen: DMEK 7.

Purpose: To evaluate Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) for failed endothelial keratoplasty (EK).
Methods: We reviewed 362 consecutive DMEK cases for failed EK (Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) or DMEK), 118 for early EK failure, and 244 for late failure in 333 eyes of 323 patients without penetrating keratoplasty. Rejection and graft survival rates were assessed with Kaplan-Meier analysis.

Background: Elderly acute kidney injury (AKI) occurring in the intensive care unit (ICU), particularly when caused or accompanied by sepsis, is linked to extended hospital stays, increased mortality rates, heightened prevalence of chronic diseases, and diminished quality of life. This study primarily utilizes a comprehensive critical care database to examine the correlation of albumin corrected anion gap (ACAG) levels with short-term prognosis in elderly patients with AKI caused or accompanied by sepsis, thus assisting physicians in early identification of high-risk patients.
Methods: This study utilized data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV, v2.
Background: Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with incidence and mortality significantly affected by population ageing and changes in the prevalence of risk factors. Lung nodules, which are often detected incidentally on imaging studies, pose a significant diagnostic challenge as they may indicate both benign and malignant processes. Correct diagnosis and management of these nodules is therefore essential to optimize clinical outcomes.
