Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography is a standard diagnostic and monitoring tool employed in the management of patients undergoing an entire spectrum cardiac surgical procedures, ranging from "routine" coronary revascularization to complex valve repair, combined organ transplantation. Utilizing protocol as starting point for imaging all procedures enables standardization image acquisition, reduction variability quality reporting, ultimately better patient care. Clear...

Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are a major public health burden, especially in low- and middle-income countries. There is limited data on RTIs low-volume, rural African settings. This study attempted to survey all individuals living households within 200 m of two low-volume roads Tanzania collect RTIs.Local communities users the Bago Talawanda road (intervention site) Kikaro Mihuga (control were targeted received an intensive program safety measures tailored using crash characteristics...

Echocardiography is available in the most basic healthcare environments. Mitral repair potentially curative and, when possible, recommended over replacement. The efficacy of echo-guided has not been established.We developed a succinct set precisely defined images observed to be highly concordant with intraoperative findings. These guided intervention on 237 consecutive patients. None were lost follow-up, and serial echocardiography was obtained all repairs. This analysis includes 2037...

Approximately 4,000 heart transplants are performed each year in the United States, yet thousands more potential recipients die for lack of an available organ. Despite a severe shortage organs, majority declared brain dead (DBD) and circulatory (DCD) donor hearts discarded due to reluctance transplant potentially marginal hearts. In vivo evaluation DCD prior explantation poses significant ethical legal concerns.1Ex under normal working conditions should identify many currently that suitable...

Lots of clichés are appropriate for this issue CASE. Two the most important concepts to remember in echo that there no such things as “never” or “always.” Even new technologies and uses continue evolve, old tried true tricks remain. New allow us implement novel ways guide therapy intervention. Juggling treatment strategies techniques with ECMO COVID-19, shared by Julio C. Sauza-Sosa, MD team from Mexico City, report “Acute Cor Pulmonale a Critically Ill Patient COVID-19 Resolved...
