Left atrial appendage closure aims to eliminate the stasis component of Virchow triad by eliminating a cul-de-sac that favors thrombosis, particularly when atrial contractility becomes inefficient, such as in atrial fibrillation. Left atrial appendage closure devices have a common objective of sealing the appendage completely, with device stability and avoidance of device thrombosis. Two main device designs have been used to perform left atrial appendage closure: those that use a pacifier design (lobe + disk) and those that use a plug (single lobe) design.

Public Health Nurs
July 2022
School of Nursing, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS.
Objectives: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a significant public health problem especially among first responders who are routinely exposed to traumatic events. First responders in rural areas are faced with additional stressors. The purpose of this quality improvement program was to implement PTSD screening for first responders at a primary care concierge clinic.

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone, which stimulates the production of red blood cells. Due to its performance-enhancing effect, it is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). In order to reduce the detection window of EPO doping, athletes have been applying low doses of recombinant EPO (e.

Aging (Albany NY)
August 2020
Genos Glycoscience Research Laboratory, Zagreb, Croatia.
Article Synopsis
- Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the main type of antibody in the blood, with its structure and function influenced by sugar molecules called glycans, which vary with age and disease.
- This study examined IgG glycosylation patterns across 5 populations, totaling over 10,000 samples, revealing that many glycan features are linked to country of residence, particularly monogalactosylation.
- An association was found between low levels of galactosylation in individuals from developing countries and factors like inflammation and biological age, highlighting how environmental influences may impact health in these regions.
Pneumothorax following combination chemotherapy with bevacizumab: A case report and review of the literature.

Department of Hematology and Oncology, Saint Joseph Hospital, Chicago, IL 60657, USA.
Bevacizumab (BV) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that inhibits angiogenesis by targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The addition of BV to combination chemotherapy has been shown to improve the outcomes in several malignancies, including colorectal carcinoma (CRC). However, the use of BV has been associated with adverse effects, including hypertension, hemorrhage, proteinuria, delayed wound healing and bowel perforation.

Article Synopsis
- Sports-related hip injuries are common in athletes, but they may present with nonspecific symptoms or abnormal imaging, making thorough assessments critical for accurate diagnosis.* -
- This review covers various intra-articular issues like labrum and cartilage lesions linked to hip impingement syndromes, as well as ligament teres injuries, utilizing imaging techniques like MRI and CT arthrography.* -
- It also explores causes of snapping hip syndrome, both intra- and extra-articular, and discusses conditions like bone avulsions, greater trochanteric syndrome, and athletic pubalgia, with appropriate diagnostic imaging methods showcased.*
Objective: Minimally invasive percutaneous spinal procedures are popular in trying to reduce spinal pain. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the safety of intervertebral disc chemonucleolysis and to report the effectiveness of a percutaneous, minimally invasive treatment for contained herniated intervertebral discs in the lumbar spine using the recently marketed radiopaque gelified ethanol.
Methods: Pain relief before and after the procedure was self-evaluated by each patient using a verbal numeric scale (VNS) ranging from 0 to 10.
The effectiveness of and satisfaction with high-fidelity simulation to teach cardiac surgical resuscitation skills to nurses.
Intensive Crit Care Nurs
June 2017
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA, United States.
Background: There are few reports of the effectiveness or satisfaction with simulation to learn cardiac surgical resuscitation skills.
Objectives: To test the effect of simulation on the self-confidence of nurses to perform cardiac surgical resuscitation simulation and nurses' satisfaction with the simulation experience.
Methods: A convenience sample of sixty nurses rated their self-confidence to perform cardiac surgical resuscitation skills before and after two simulations.

Background: There are few reports of the use of 1-session team-based learning (TBL) in hospital settings and none to teach cardiac surgical resuscitation (CSR).
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether 1-session TBL is an effective method to increase nursing knowledge of CSR.
Methods: The participating subjects viewed a PowerPoint presentation about CSR prior to the learning session.
