Twenty-nine patients died among the first 3,079 patients enrolled in the NHLBI PTCA Registry. The overall morality rate was 0.9%; the mortality rate was 0.8% in patients with 1-vessel CAD, 1.0% in those with multivessel CAD (excluding left main CAD), and 3.8% in those with left main CAD (p less than 0.01). The in-hospital morality rate was significantly higher among women (p less than 0.01), in patients older than 60 years, in patients with previous CABG (p less than 0.01), the presence of left main CAD, (p less than 0.01), in patients who required dilatation of a vein graft stenosis (p less than 0.05), and in patients who had had angina for longer than 6 months (p less than 0.01).

Prevalence of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome in mine workers of Khewra salt mines.
J Hand Ther
January 2025
Neuroscience Center, King Fahad Specialist Hospital, Dammam, Saudi Arabia; King Salman Center for Disability Research, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Background: Hand-arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) is a disorder caused by prolonged exposure to hand-held vibrating instruments, commonly observed in industrial contexts such as mining, construction, and manufacturing. It involves symptoms affecting the musculoskeletal, neurological, and vascular systems of the arm and hand.
Purpose: The main aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of HAVS among laborers working in the Khewra salt mines.
The impact of hypoalbuminemia on the long-term prognosis of patients with acute heart failure: The modifying role of carbohydrate antigen 125.
Eur J Intern Med

Cardiology Department, Hospital Clínico Universitario, Universitat de València, INCLIVA, Valencia, Spain; CIBER Cardiovascular, Madrid, Spain.
Aims: Hypoalbuminemia is frequently found in patients with heart failure (HF), associated with higher morbimortality in acute HF (AHF). Moreover, Carbohydrate Antigen 125 (CA125) is elevated in most of the AHF patients. In this cohort of patients admitted for AHF, our objective was to evaluate the association between hypoalbuminemia and long-term outcomes, including mortality and HF readmissions, stratified by CA125 concentration.

Background: Coronary stenting operations have become the main option for the treatment of coronary heart disease. Vessel recovery after stenting has emerged as a critical factor in reducing possible complications. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility, safety and efficacy of locally administered intraluminal gene therapy delivered using a specialized infusion balloon catheter.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China.
Background: Carinal resection and reconstruction are complex surgical procedures often necessitated by tumors or other pathologies involving the tracheobronchial junction. Traditional approaches to these surgeries are highly invasive. The advent of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) along with the integration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) offer potential advantages in reducing surgical trauma and improving outcomes.

Background: Although there is evidence that measures of verbal fluency, naming and word memory can be good predictors of progression to dementia, language change and the main variables predicting it are not yet fully characterized. Recent research draws attention to the need to consider cognitive reserve, functional, and neurobiological indicators together to explain changes (Facal et al., 2021).
