One And Half Versus Bi-Ventricular Repair In Pediatric E Bstein Anomaly, Short-Term Outcomes Retrospective Analysis, Rania Abushokka, Hanan Mohammed Hassan, Ahmed Meawad, Ahmed Algebaly

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research

-Background: The application of one and half-ventricular repair in Ebstein anomaly(EA) should be considered, in association with effective cone repair, to reduce the volume preload on a dysfunctional right ventricle, and to take the benefit of obtaining ante-grade pulmonary blood flow. The one and half-ventricular repair that applied in patients with hypoplastic sub pulmonic ventricle can alternate effectively the Fontan pathway. This provides pulsatility in pulmonary circulation. However, pressure elevation in superior vena cava (SVC) and right atrial hypertension can occur in patient’s undergone one and half ventricular repair. Aim The aim of this study to evaluate the short-term outcomes …

The Impact Of Ultra-Processed Foods On Cardiovascular Diseases And Cancer: Epidemiological And Mechanistic Insights, Olorunfemi Oyewole Babalola, Ebenezer Akinnusi, Paul Olamide Ottu, Kpomah Bridget, Godspower Oyubu, Samuel Ayomikun Ajiboye, Sakariyau Adio Waheed, Amafili Chibuzo Collette, Hameedah Oluwatoyin Adebimpe, Chibuzo Valentine Nwokafor, Ebenezer Ayomide Oni, Precious Olayinka Aturamu, Opeyemi Iwaloye

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are increasingly recognized as contributors to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancer due to their adverse compositional and mechanistic effects. UPFs, distinguished by their high content of unhealthy fats, sodium, refined sugars, and synthetic additives, significantly increase dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity, which are key risk factors for CVDs. Chronic consumption leads to systemic inflammation, gut microbiota dysbiosis, endothelial dysfunction, and oxidative stress. Additives such as artificial sweeteners and sodium nitrites in UPFs are associated with carcinogenesis through mechanisms involving genotoxicity and promotion of inflammatory microenvironments. This review critically evaluates existing epidemiological, mechanistic, and clinical evidence …

According to the ESC guidelines, cangrelor may be considered in P2Y12-inhibitor-naïve acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The aim of this review is to summarize available evidence on the optimal maintenance therapy with P2Y12 receptor inhibitor after cangrelor. Transitioning from cangrelor to a thienopyridine, but not ticagrelor, can be associated with a drug-drug interaction (DDI); therefore, a ticagrelor loading dose (LD) can be given any time before, during, or at the end of a cangrelor infusion, while a LD of clopidogrel or prasugrel should be administered at the time the infusion of cangrelor ends or within …

Long-Term Health-Related Quality Of Life In Kawasaki Disease-Related Coronary Artery Aneurysm: A Large Single-Center Assessment In Nanjing, China, Yun Zhou, Mei Chen, Wenting Gao, Yu Chen, Ying Meng

The Texas Heart Institute Journal

BACKGROUND: The impact of coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) caused by Kawasaki disease (KD) on long-term health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children has not been well documented.

METHODS: This study investigated long-term HRQOL in a large sample of children diagnosed with KD-related CAAs. A case-control, retrospective study included 66 patients with KD-related CAAs. A total of 98 hospitalized patients were matched as controls based on age and sex: 49 patients were allocated to a group with pneumonia and 49 patients were allocated to a group with arterio-arterial fistula. Both child-reported and parent-proxy-reported Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory surveys were collected. …

Association Of Non-Communicable Diseases With Severe Covid-19 Among People Living With And Without Diagnosed Hiv/Aids In New York State, Ravi Kumar Balu

Electronic Theses & Dissertations (2024 - present)

Background: People living with diagnosed HIV (PLWDH) have a higher chance of co-infections and co-morbidities than the general population. When SARS-CoV-2 was first reported in China in December 2019 and later declared a pandemic, it was speculated that PLWDH might be more prone to SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe disease outcomes given their increased vulnerability to other respiratory infections like influenza, pneumococcal pneumonia and tuberculosis. However, several facets of COVID-19 disease in PLWDH are incompletely understood, including whether non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are strong risk factors for severe disease outcomes and death as they are in the general population.

Methods: The data …

Contributions Of Pathobiological And Translational Science To Understanding And Managing Ischemic Heart Disease: Progress, Impediments, And Future Directions, L Maximilian Buja

The Texas Heart Institute Journal

Key pathobiological components of ischemic heart disease have been identified as follows: (1) In 1970 to 1973, myocardial infarct size was found to be the primary determinant of prognosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI); (2) in 1973 to 1989, vulnerable coronary artery plaques were found to predispose individuals to coronary plaque disruption and thrombosis, causing major AMI; (3) in 1972, timely coronary reperfusion was demonstrated to limit the size of evolving AMI but with risk of reperfusion injury; and (4) in 1986, myocardial conditioning was found to be a clinically significant modulator capable of delaying AMI progression. Promising cardioprotective strategies …
