A new study found that patients with severe mitral regurgitation who undergo transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral repair (TEER) may need surgical intervention if treatment fails. Up to 95% of these patients cannot have their valves repaired and require mitral valve replacement.
The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions recognized three outstanding interventionalists, Dr. Ian C. Gilchrist, Dr. Eberhard Grube, and Dr. Carey Kimmelstiel, with the Master Interventionalists of SCAI (MSCAI) designation for their excellence in invasive cardiology. The designations acknowledge their commitment to c...
A new study reveals that up to 24 percent of esophagectomy patients can develop Venous Thromboembolism (VTE), leading to significant morbidity and mortality. The six-month mortality rate for patients with VTE was found to be 17.6 percent, compared to 2.1 percent for those without.
The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) recognized four outstanding interventionalists with the Master Interventionalists of SCAI (MSCAI) designation. The recipients, Ian C. Gilchrist, Eberhard Grube, and Carey Kimmelstiel, have demonstrated excellence in invasive/interventional cardiology through their clin...
A new, low-profile thoracic aortic endograft device has demonstrated safety and effectiveness in treating descending thoracic aorta aneurysms and PAU diseases. The RELAYPro endovascular device achieved 89.2% one-year treatment success rate with a reduced risk of complications.
Researchers have developed a novel strategy to treat, prevent, and possibly reverse liver damages by exploiting small extracellular vesicles derived from interferon-γ pre-conditioned MSCs. The approach has shown promising results in reducing inflammation and fibrosis in a mouse model of cirrhosis.
Researchers found that abstract, technical, and passive writing hinders readers' understanding. Studies showed that clearer writing leads to more citations. Overcoming the 'curse of knowledge' is key to making a greater impact with research.
A team of scientists at IBEC and Stanford University reveals that the brain's ability to autonomously learn reflects nature more closely than previously thought. This discovery has implications for improving memory deficits in humans and building new AI systems with advanced memory capabilities.
A study published in the American Journal of Critical Care found that critical care nurses in poor physical and mental health reported significantly more medical errors. Nurses with better support for their well-being were twice as likely to have better physical health and professional quality of life.
