BACKGROUND Amyloidosis refers to an assortment of diseases characterized by the accumulation and deposition misfolded proteins in extracellular matrix tissues organs. It may present systemically, affecting multiple organs, or locally a single organ. When lungs mediastinal structures are involved, term pulmonary amyloid is used. Sole involvement with extremely rare. There no definitive treatment for this disease, but proposed options include surgery, cytotoxic medications, external beam...
SARS-CoV-2 has caused a pandemic claiming more than 4 million lives worldwide. Overwhelming COVID-19 respiratory failure placed tremendous demands on healthcare systems increasing the death toll. Cost-effective prognostic tools to characterise likelihood of patients with progress severe hypoxemic are still needed.We conducted retrospective cohort study develop model using demographic and clinical data collected in first 12 hours admission explore associations unvaccinated hospitalised...
Abstract Introduction Atrial fibrillation-related stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Options for prevention include left atrial appendage closure devices or oral anticoagulation. However, it remains unclear which option may be superior overall. Methods We conducted systematic review network meta-analysis all clinical trials comparing the WATCHMAN, Amplatzer Amulet (Amulet), and/or OACs. The primary outcomes interest were any all-cause death. Safety included...
Introduction: Use of in vitro fertilization (IVF), assisted reproductive technology to treat infertility, has risen recently. However, research date is inconclusive if IVF associated with increase cardiovascular disease. We therefore performed a large retrospective study, identifying major adverse and cerebrovascular (MACCE) events those undergoing IVF. hypothesize be an MACCE. Aims: To determine the association between Method: utilized TriNetX database (64 healthcare organizations United...
Background: Radial artery (RA) access has become common in cardiac catheterization due to fewer vascular complications and MACE compared transfemoral approach (TFA). However, anatomic variations are more profound the upper-extremity. Research Question: What encountered during transradial (TRA) coronary angiography what association do they have with adverse outcomes procedural challenges? Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective analysis of 926 patients who underwent through TRA...
Introduction: Congestive heart failure (CHF) and opioid use disorder (OUD) are leading contributors to healthcare utilization in the United States. Little is known about how OUD treatment impacts clinical outcomes patients with both CHF OUD. We examined impact of medication assisted (MAT—buprenorphine methadone) on for diagnosed CHF, which MAT associated fewest cardiac toxicities. Hypothesis: The will improve related including hospitalizations, emergency room (ER) visits, mortality. Methods:...
ABSTRACT Objective The severe acute respiratory syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a pandemic claiming more than 4 million lives worldwide. Overwhelming Coronavirus-Disease-2019 (COVID-19) failure placed tremendous demands on healthcare systems increasing the death toll. Cost-effective prognostic tools to characterize COVID-19 patients’ likely progress hypoxemic are still needed. Design We conducted retrospective cohort study develop model utilizing demographic and clinical data...
