Background There are limited adjuncts available for identifying and assessing the viability of parathyroid glands (PGs) during total thyroidectomy (TT). The aim this study is to determine feasibility indocyanine green (ICG) imaging in perfusion PGs TT. Methods ICG was administered patients undergoing TT fluorescence assessed. A grading scale developed degree uptake. Patients were evaluated hypocalcemia hypoparathyroidism on post‐operative day (POD) #1. Results Twenty‐seven underwent with...
Background and Objectives Intraoperative adjuncts for the localization of parathyroid glands in surgery are limited. The aim this study is to assess usefulness indocyanine green (ICG) near‐infrared (NIR) fluorescent imaging patients undergoing primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Methods ICG was performed 33 parathyroidectomy (PTX). Thyroid uptake were assessed independently verified on a grading scale. Clinical variables recorded analyzed factors associated with uptake. Results Of 112...
Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection may be at an increased risk for morbidity and mortality from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We present clinical outcomes of HIV patients hospitalized COVID-19 in a matched comparison historical controls.We conducted retrospective cohort study admitted between March 2020 April to Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. Data on baseline characteristics hospital course were documented compared that control group who had no history...
Abstract A known proportion of patients who are admitted for the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) requires intensive care unit (ICU) level care. Prolonged ICU stay is a risk factor development nosocomial candidemia. The current study aimed to investigate incidence and factors associated with candidemia among COVID‐19. Patients developed were identified, their clinical course was reported. 1:3 case control matching used identify non‐candidemia served as controls. 89 COVID‐19 during...

Methods This a retrospective cohort AA COVID-19 admitted 665-bed quaternary care, teaching located Newark, included who had completed hospitalization between March 10, 2020, April 2020. We reviewed demographics, socioeconomic variables incidence...
Psychological distress is a recognized risk factor in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), but its clinical significance unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine if an index psychological independently associated adverse outcomes and significantly contributes prediction. Pooled analysis 2 prospective cohort studies stable CHD (N = 891). A score constructed using measures depression, anxiety, anger, perceived stress, post-traumatic stress disorder, measured at baseline....

The HUDDLE trial aimed to raise awareness and estimate CVD associated risk factors among members National Football League (NFL) Alumni Association their families through education screening events. was a multi-city, cross-sectional study NFL alumni family aged 50 years above. Subjects reported health history participated (blood pressure [BP],...
Acute psychological stress may induce physiological changes predisposing individuals to adverse health outcomes through hemodynamic and vascular effects. We studied the association between aggregated stress-induced in function tests with cardiovascular patients coronary artery disease, after adjusting for sociodemographic clinical factors. Individuals stable disease from 2 prospective cohort studies were studied. Hemodynamic reactivity, endothelial function, vasoconstriction during mental...
Background The impact of frailty status on TAVR outcomes in nonagenarians is unknown. present study aims to investigate the procedural and overall survival after TAVR. Methods A score (FS) was derived by using preoperative grip strength, gait speed, serum albumin, daily activities. Patients were divided into two groups: Frail (FS ≥ 3/4) Non‐Frail <3/4). Health assessed 12‐item Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ). Baseline demographic clinical characteristics compared both...
Abstract Aims This study investigated outcomes after continuous flow left ventricular assist device (CF‐LVAD) implantation as bridge to heart transplantation (BTT) in advanced failure patients stratified by race. Methods and results De‐identified data from the United Network for Organ Sharing database was obtained all who had a CF‐LVAD BTT 2008 2018. Patients were into four groups on basis of ethnicity [Caucasian, African American (AA), Hispanic, others (Asian, Pacific Islanders, Indian)]....
We sought to evaluate the effect of tocilizumab (TCB), a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody against soluble interleukin-6 receptors, in patients hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).We included all with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 who had completed hospitalization between March 10, 2020 and April follow-up through 20, 2020. Patients received TCB addition standard care within 48 h admission were matched 1:2 fashion similar cohort alone. Clinical outcomes compared...
(1) Background: This study examines frailty’s impact on proximal aortic surgery outcomes. (2) Methods: All patients with a thoracic aneurysm who underwent root, ascending aorta, or arch from the 2016–2017 National Inpatient Sample were included. Frailty was defined by Adjusted Clinical Groups Indicator. Outcomes of interest included in-hospital mortality and composite death, stroke, acute kidney injury (AKI), major bleeding (MACE). (3) Results: Among 5745 patients, 405 (7.0%) met frailty...
