The genetic mechanisms underlying aortic stenosis (AS) and insufficiency (AI) disease progression remain unclear. We hypothesized that normal valves those with AS or AI all exhibit unique transcriptional profiles. Normal control (NC) were collected from non-matched donor hearts otherwise acceptable for transplantation (n = 5). Valves 5, each) patients undergoing surgical valve replacement. High-throughput sequencing of total RNA revealed 6438 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) vs. NC,...
To evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of cardiac repair versus nonoperative management in patients with trisomy 13 18 congenital heart disease.
Data on the long-term symptom burden in patients surviving oesophageal cancer surgery are scarce. The aim of this study was to identify most prevalent symptoms and their interactions with health-related quality life.This a cross-sectional cohort who underwent 20 European centres between 2010 2016. Patients had be disease-free for at least 1 year. They were asked complete 28-symptom questionnaire single time point, year after surgery. Principal component analysis used assess clustering...
A 40-year-old male was referred for consideration of anti-reflux surgery.He had a history severe cyclical hiccups since 2008 lasting 7-10 days per episode and taking omeprazole (40 mg daily) heartburn.His initial endoscopy performed while hiccupping showed LA grade B erosive esophagitis.Highresolution esophageal manometry (HRM) he hiccuping mechanically defective lower sphincter (LES) complete absence peristalsis (total LES length: 1.3 cm [nmL 2.7-4.8];mean resting pressure: 4.4 mmHg 13-43...
The Yasui operation was introduced in 1987 for patients with 2 adequate ventricles, a ventricular septal defect, and aortic atresia or interrupted arch. Despite promising early outcomes, left outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) remains long-term concern. purpose of this study is to report our institutional experience the operation.We retrospectively reviewed all undergoing between 1989 2021. Results are reported as median interquartile range (IQR).Twenty-five underwent (19 primary), at 11 days...
