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.

Objective: Evaluate the relationship of cathepsin-D (CD) on disease severity and clinical outcomes for women with peripartum cardiomyopathy.
Background: Cathepsin-D is a protease released during oxidative stress that cleaves prolactin (PRL) generating a 16 kDa fragment that is pro-apoptotic, anti-angiogenic, and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM).
Methods: In 99 women with newly diagnosed PPCM enrolled in the Investigation in Pregnancy Associated Cardiomyopathy (IPAC) study, CD levels were assessed by ELISA from serum obtained at study entry.

Analyzing the uniformity of ammonia distribution at the inlet of selective catalytic reduction reactors is crucial for enhancing denitrification efficiency. To minimize ammonia slip while ensuring effective denitrification, this study examines ammonia flow characteristics in the SCR system under various zoning schemes. In scheme I, zones A1, A2, A3, and A4 predominantly influence the left, center, center-right, and far-right regions of the reactor inlet.

We present the case of a 21-year-old male with a 3-year history of an isolated 1 × 1 cm purulent lesion on the left cheek, on a background of mild acne. Despite topical treatments, the lump persisted, discharging frank pus regularly. Microbiology swabs and an incisional biopsy were unremarkable.

Objectives: Subclinical myocardial involvement is common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but differences between new onset and longstanding SLE are not fully elucidated. This study compared myocardial involvement in new onset versus longstanding SLE using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).
Materials And Methods: We prospectively enrolled 24 drug-naïve new onset SLE patients, 27 longstanding SLE patients, and 20 healthy controls.
