Cardiogenic shock (CS) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by systemic hypoperfusion that can quickly progress to multiorgan failure and death. Various devices and configurations of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) exist to support patients, each with unique pathophysiological characteristics. The Intra-aortic balloon pump can improve coronary perfusion, decrease afterload, and indirectly augment cardiac output.

Background: Previous studies on neuroimaging findings in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with hallucinations and delusions have yielded inconsistent results. We aimed to systematically review neuroimaging findings of delusions and hallucinations in AD patients to describe the most prominent neuroimaging features.
Methods: We performed a comprehensive search in three online databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science in June 2023.

Multiple myeloma (MM), a cancer of bone marrow plasma cells, is the second-most common hematological malignancy. However, despite immunotherapies like chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells, relapse is nearly universal. The bone marrow (BM) microenvironment influences how MM cells survive, proliferate, and resist treatment.

Background: The provision of a metabolic substrate is one mechanism by which hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) of kidneys provides clinical benefit. This study aimed to describe metabolism in ex vivo human kidneys undergoing HMP before transplantation using C-labeled glucose as a metabolic tracer.
Methods: Cadaveric human kidneys were perfused with modified clinical-grade perfusion fluid (kidney perfusion solution [KPS-1], Organ Recovery Systems), in which glucose was uniformly enriched with the stable isotope C ([U-C] glucose).

Background: Extending the distal sealing zone into the external iliac artery is sometimes necessary during endovascular abdominal aortic repair. As the use of an iliac branch device is contingent upon certain anatomical requirements, the application of this device is not universal. Herein, we present an alternative method to preserve hypogastric artery perfusion using a physician-modified fenestrated (PMF) AFX limb (Endologix, Inc.
