ABSTRACT Background Intra‐aortic balloon pumps (IABP) are commonly used as a bridge to heart transplant (Htx). Although IABPs were designed for transfemoral arterial placement, axillary (axIABP) allow continued ambulation and rehabilitation. However, increased rates of device complications with compared femoral insertion suggest anatomic variations that predispose patients failure. Methods We conducted single‐center retrospective study who received axIABP HTx between February 2018 July 2022....
Patients on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) often require concomitant treatment with enteric tube placement and aerosol medication. We aimed to describe the creation implementation of a novel inhaler adaptor for NIV (TIA-NIV). The design TIA-NIV, validation, intellectual property sanitary registry, as well ecodesign commercial isolation processes, is described. TIA-NIV’s effectiveness was initially assessed in non-randomised quasi-experimental study, which demonstrated increased comfort...
Objective: Impella 5.5 (Abiomed, Danvers, MA, USA) is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for mechanical circulatory support ≤14 days. It unknown whether prolonged associated with worse outcomes. We sought to review our single-center experience compare outcomes based on duration. Methods: retrospectively reviewed adult patients (≥18 years old) supported at institution (May 2020 April 2023). Patients (>14 days) were compared those Results: There 31 including 14 (45.2%)...
The coronary microvasculature is responsible for providing oxygen and nutrients to myocardial tissue. A healthy with an intact properly functioning endothelium accomplishes this by seemless changes in vascular tone match supply demand. Perturbations the normal physiology of microvasculature, including endothelial and/or smooth muscle dysfunction, result impaired function (vasoconstriction, antithrombotic, etc.) structural (hypertrophic, fibrotic) abnormalities that lead microvascular...
Objective The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) is an important data source for observational studies. While there are guides to ensure appropriate study reporting, has been no evaluation NSQIP studies in vascular surgery. We sought evaluate the adherence vascular-surgery related best reporting practices. Methods In January 2022, we queried PubMed all surgery used REporting Conducted using Observational Routinely-collected Health Data (RECORD)...
BACKGROUND: Application costs are known for other competitive specialties, but not Integrated Thoracic Surgery Residency (I6).We seek to quantify I6 application costs, assess the value of away rotations and geographic connections, identify characteristics matched applicants. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed Texas Seeking Transparency in survey-based database applicants (2019-2022).Away rotation analyses excluded 2021 cycle (n=30) due COVID-19 pandemic.RESULTS: Eighty applicant responses...
The aim of the study was to describe ocular findings following an accidental high-voltage electrical discharge. A 32-year-old male suffered electric discharge 10,000 volts direct current. He developed cortical, nuclear, and posterior subcapsular opacities in both eyes. retinal examination showed bilateral macular cysts. Four months after event, cyst OD spontaneously regressed without visual improvement. OS remained unchanged. High-voltage can lead maculopathy cataracts. prognosis is...
