A velamentous cord insertion occurs when the umbilical cord’s Wharton jelly fails to reach the placenta, due to early placental atrophy around the insertion site, leaving a segment of unprotected vessels running through the thin membranes of the amniotic sac. Figure 1 depicts the velamentous cord insertion.

Ahmad R. Nusair, M.D.
There is no widely accepted standard definition for Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP). The reliability of the current definitions in use remains controversial. Our objective was to assess the reliability of six commonly used VAP definitions: The Loose, The Rigorous, The Modified Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS), The Canadian Critical Care Trials Group (CCCTG), The International Sepsis Forum Consensus (ISFC) and The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Early Adoption Of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (Tavr) At An Academic Community Hospital, Brittany Blass, Raymond L. Singer Md
Raymond L Singer MD
Background Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a cutting edge heart procedure that allows replacement of the aortic valve without conventional open-heart surgery. TAVR represents an alternative without the need for sternotomy or cardiopulmonary bypass. Instead, a catheter is used to deploy the valve by leading a delivery sheath through an incision in either the groin (transfemoral) or chest (transapical) directly to the aorta. Patients must meet several requirements in order to be considered for TAVR. Eligible patients suffer from severe Aortic Stenosis (AS) and must be deemed inoperable or high risk for conventional open-heart surgery by a cardiologist and …
