Circulation
March 2017
From Department of Pediatric Cardiology, University Hospital Brno and Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, Czech Republic (H.J.); Fetal Medicine Center, Brno, Czech Republic (H.J., P.V., I.G.); Children's Heart Center, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and Motol University Hospital, Prague, Czech Republic (M.J., V.T., J.S., J.M.); University Hospital Sv. Anny, Brno, Czech Republic (I.G.); Louisiana State University Health-New Orleans, School of Public Health (J.V.); and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences UCL, London, UK (J.M.).
Background: The study analyzed the impact of first-trimester screening on the spectrum of congenital heart defects (CHDs) later in pregnancy and on the outcome of fetuses and children born alive with a CHD.
Methods: The spectrum of CHDs, associated comorbidities, and outcome of fetuses, either diagnosed with a CHD in the first trimester (Group I, 127 fetuses) or only in the second-trimester screening (Group II, 344 fetuses), were analyzed retrospectively between 2007 and 2013. Second-trimester fetuses diagnosed with a CHD between 2007 and 2013 were also compared with Group III (532 fetuses diagnosed with a CHD in the second trimester from 1996 to 2001, the period before first-trimester screening was introduced).
High Frequency Spinal Cord Stimulation for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A Case Report.
Pain Physician
July 2017
Tulane University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry.
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic, debilitating, neuropathic pain condition which is often misdiagnosed, difficult to manage, and lacks proven methods for remission. Most available methods provide some relief to a small percentage of patients. Recent FDA approval and superiority of the Nevro Senza 10-kHz high frequency (HF10) spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy over traditional low-frequency spinal cord stimulation for treatment of chronic back and leg pain may provide a new interventional therapeutic option for patients suffering from CRPS.

Ohio State University James Cancer Hospital, Columbus, OH, USA.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the results of the 12-gene DCIS Score assay on (i) radiotherapy recommendations for patients with pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) following breast-conserving surgery (BCS), and (ii) patient decisional conflict and state anxiety.
Methods: Thirteen sites across the US enrolled patients (March 2014-August 2015) with pure DCIS undergoing BCS. Prospectively collected data included clinicopathologic factors, physician estimates of local recurrence risk, DCIS Score results, and pre-/post-assay radiotherapy recommendations for each patient made by a surgeon and a radiation oncologist.
Corrigendum to "Implications for women of Louisiana's law requiring abortion providers to have hospital admitting privileges" [Contraception (2015) 91:368-72. doi: 10.1016/j.contraception.2015.02.001].

Implications for women of Louisiana's law requiring abortion providers to have hospital admitting privileges.

Background: In 2014, Louisiana passed a law requiring abortion providers to have hospital admitting privileges. This law is temporarily on hold while a court case challenging it continues. We aimed to describe the population who would be affected if the law goes into effect and how closures of between three and five Louisiana abortion facilities would affect the distance Louisiana women would need to travel for an abortion.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia among older people. There are no effective medications currently available to prevent and treat AD and halt disease progression. Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is the primary enzyme metabolizing the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol in the brain.

Article Synopsis
- DHA combined with lower concentrations of human serum albumin (Alb) shows potential neuroprotection in a rat stroke model, successfully extending the treatment window beyond the typical 5 hours post-stroke.
- Rats treated with DHA-Alb at moderate doses demonstrated significantly improved neurological scores and reduced brain damage compared to those given only Alb, indicating a more effective treatment method for stroke recovery.
- These findings highlight the clinical potential of DHA-Alb complexes in enhancing neurobehavioral outcomes after stroke, suggesting a new approach to therapeutic strategies in stroke management.
