Dietary guidance is based on a robust evidence base that includes high-quality clinical trials, of which some have been designed to establish causal relationships between dietary interventions and ASCVD risk reduction. However, the complexity associated with conducting these trials has resulted in criticism of nutrition and dietary recommendations because the strength and quality of evidence falls short of that for some pharmaceutical interventions. In this paper, we aim to promote greater awareness of the nutrition-related clinical trials that have been conducted showing ASCVD benefits and how this evidence has contributed to dietary recommendations.

There is a growing trend in performing outpatient total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The purpose of this study was to analyze the public perception of outpatient TSA by querying a validated online market research platform regarding the public's knowledge, expectations, and beliefs on outpatient TSA. One thousand eighty respondents completed the survey in 2021.

Although heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) presents management challenges for any population, it adds complexity to the management of certain patient populations, including those undergoing cardiac surgery and those with refractory HIT and/or acute bleeding. For each of these scenarios, we review alternative management strategies when standard therapies-heparin cessation and the initiation of a nonheparin anticoagulant-are either insufficient or not practicable. In patients with HIT undergoing cardiac surgery, we review the clinical experience for heparin reexposure using therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) or antiplatelet therapy.

Background: Basiliximab induction immunosuppression is increasingly employed in lung transplant recipients despite limited prospective evidence to support its use in this population. We sought to determine the relationship between basiliximab induction and development of acute rejection, chronic lung allograft dysfunction, and other clinically relevant outcomes in a multicenter lung transplant cohort with variable induction practice patterns.
Methods: We applied propensity-based statistical methods to rigorous, prospectively collected longitudinal data from 768 newly transplanted adult lung recipients at 5 North American centers (368 who received basiliximab induction immunosuppression and 400 who received no induction immunosuppression).

Objective: The Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy Success Score (ETVSS) is a useful decision-making heuristic when considering the probability of surgical success, defined traditionally as no repeat cerebrospinal fluid diversion surgery needed within 6 months. Nonetheless, the performance of the logistic regression (LR) model in the original 2009 study was modest, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.68.

Background: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of complete revascularization (CR) versus culprit-only revascularization (COR) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have shifted the recommendation for CR from class III to class I in the AHA/ACC/SCAI guidelines, but it remains unclear if the benefit of CR over COR extends to older adults, who have greater bleeding risk, comorbidity burden, and complexity of lesions. We performed a meta-analysis to place the results of the previous RCTs in the context of the recently published FIRE trial and the subgroup analysis of the COMPLETE trial in adults ≥75 years old.
Methods: We searched the literature from inception to October 21, 2023.

Purpose: Psychological distress, including anxiety and depression, is common among adults with CF, associating with poor quality of life, lung function, and healthcare utilization. This 3-year, multi-site, telehealth-delivered randomized trial sought to determine whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT with CF) is superior to supportive psychotherapy (SP), in improving psychological functioning for adults with CF.
Methods: One hundred twenty-four adults with CF and elevated anxiety and/or depressive symptoms were recruited coincident with the first COVID lockdown, from Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals, University of Virginia, Augusta University, Duke University Medical Center, and social media.
