Impact of Complex Anatomy and Patient Risk Profile in Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery.

Background: We aimed to assess the impact of complex mitral valve disease and patient risk profile on operative outcomes in the large cohort of the Mini-Mitral International Registry.

Methods: Patients were assigned to categories of complex degenerative mitral valve regurgitation (DMR; bileaflet or anterior mitral leaflet prolapse/flail) and simple DMR (posterior mitral leaflet prolapse/flail). Subgroup analyses was performed in low-risk (EuroSCORE II <8%) and high-risk (EuroSCORE II >8%) cohorts.

Out-of-school Activities and Adherence to 24-hour Movement Guidelines.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to explore associations between participation in out-of-school/weekend organized activities and adherence to the 24-hour movement guidelines among US adolescents.

Methods: Data from the 2022 National Survey of Children's Health (N=16,403, age=15.1±1.

The SOD1 Inhibitor, LCS-1, Oxidizes H2S to Reactive Sulfur Species, Directly and Indirectly, through Conversion of SOD1 to an Oxidase.

LCS-1, a putative selective inhibitor of SOD1, is a substituted pyridazinone with rudimentary similarity to quinones and naphthoquinones. As quinones catalytically oxidize HS to biologically active reactive sulfur species (RSS), we hypothesized LCS-1 might have similar attributes. Here, we examine LCS-1 reactions with HS and SOD1 using thiol-specific fluorophores, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), UV-vis spectrometry, and oxygen consumption.

Survey of vitamin D supplementation practices in extremely preterm infants.

Background: Most extremely preterm (EP) infants are vitamin D deficient (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels below 20 ng/mL), and optimal supplementation practices for EP infants remain unknown. Our objective is to assess current vitamin D supplementation practices in U.S.

Wernicke encephalopathy in a pediatric patient with cannabinoid hyperemesis: A novel case report.

This case report details a novel case of Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) in a 16-year-old boy with obesity and chronic cannabis use. Despite the absence of alcohol use disorder, this adolescent developed classic symptoms of WE, challenging the conventional diagnostic framework. Clinical suspicion for WE was supported by typical magnetic resonance imaging findings, low thiamine levels and rapid clinical improvement postintravenous thiamine supplementation.

Monitoring response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple negative breast cancer using circulating tumor DNA.

Background: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype with poor prognosis. We aimed to determine whether circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and circulating tumor cell (CTC) could predict response and long-term outcomes to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Methods: Patients with TNBC were enrolled between 2017-2021 at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX).

Circulating sphingolipids in relation to cognitive decline and incident dementia: The Cardiovascular Health Study.

Introduction: Whether circulating levels of sphingolipids are prospectively associated with cognitive decline and dementia risk is uncertain.

Methods: We measured 14 sphingolipid species in plasma samples from 4488 participants (mean age 76.2 years; 40% male; and 25% apolipoprotein E ( ε4 allele carriers).

Impact of Chronic Kidney Disease on the Processes of Care and Long-Term Mortality of Non-ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Nationwide Cohort Study and Long-Term Follow-Up.

Background: A growing population of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) presents with non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction, although little is known about their longer-term mortality.

Methods And Results: Using the MINAP (Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project) registry, linked to Office for National Statistics mortality data, we analyzed 363 559 UK patients with non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction, with or without CKD. Cox regression models were fitted, adjusting for baseline demographics.

Virtual Patient/Family Communication in the Acute Care Setting.

Patient and family-centered care strategies see patients and families as valuable healthcare team members and are therefore treated as essential clinical partners to achieve safe, high-quality care. Traditionally, hospitals have relied on physical presence as the primary strategy for including families in shared decision-making. During COVID-19, widespread visitor restrictions removed this primary strategy.

A User-Centered Data Visualization of Atherosclerotic Heart Disease Risk Factors.

High cholesterol levels significantly contribute to the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD), with a notable portion of ischemic heart disease cases linked to elevated cholesterol levels. Effective graphical displays of lipid panel tests and other cardiac risk factors are crucial for quick and accurate data interpretation, enabling early intervention for individuals with hyperlipidemia. Applying design theories such as Gestalt and distributed cognitive theories is essential for creating user-centered graphical data displays in the context of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors.

Intuitive Data Visualization for Enhanced Patient Comprehension.

The pilot study explores how data visualization influences patient comprehension and engagement in understanding hyperlipidemia test results across diverse patient groups. Employing Gestalt theory and the Relational Information Display (RID) framework, intuitive visual tools were developed using Google Sheets, QlikView®, and Microsoft® Excel®. The survey conducted with patients used a Likert scale to evaluate six different line and bar graphs, each presenting the same LDL cholesterol data.

LPS-induced whole-blood cytokine production and depressive symptoms in dementia spousal caregivers: The moderating effect of childhood trauma.

Unlabelled: Dementia spousal caregivers are at risk for adverse mental and physical health outcomes. Caregiver burden, anticipatory grief, and proinflammatory cytokine production may contribute to depressive symptoms among caregivers. People who report childhood trauma are more likely to have exaggerated stress responses that may also contribute to depressive symptoms in adulthood.

Occipital Interhemispheric Transtentorial Approach for Microsurgical Treatment of Posterior Midbrain Arteriovenous Malformation: 2-Dimensional Operative Video.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the brain stem are very rare lesions accounting for 2% to 6% of the cerebral AVMs.1,2 They carry higher risk of hemorrhage3,4 and are associated with poor prognosis.5-7 This is a 27-year-old man who presented with intraventricular hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, and poor neurological status secondary to ruptured AVM.

The Role of Psychosocial Stress on Cardiovascular Disease in Women: JACC State-of-the-Art Review.

Psychosocial stress can affect cardiovascular health through multiple pathways. Certain stressors, such as socioeconomic disadvantage, childhood adversity, intimate partner violence, and caregiving stress, are especially common among women. The consequences of stress begin at a young age and persist throughout the life course.

A systematic umbrella review and meta-meta-analysis of eHealth and mHealth interventions for improving lifestyle behaviours.

The aim of this meta-meta-analysis was to systematically review randomised controlled trial (RCT) evidence examining the effectiveness of e- and m-Health interventions designed to improve physical activity, sedentary behaviour, healthy eating and sleep. Nine electronic databases were searched for eligible studies published from inception to 1 June 2023. Systematic reviews with meta-analyses of RCTs that evaluate e- and m-Health interventions designed to improve physical activity, sedentary behaviour, sleep and healthy eating in any adult population were included.

Blunted brachial blood flow velocity response to acute mental stress in PTSD females.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Compared with males, females are twice as likely to develop PTSD after trauma exposure, and cardiovascular reactivity to stress is a known risk factor for CVD. We aimed to examine hemodynamic responses to acute mental stress in trauma-exposed females with and without a clinical diagnosis of PTSD.
