Sleep‐disordered breathing in valvular heart disease: A Modifiable comorbidity
Abstract Sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) is highly prevalent among patients with valvular heart disease (VHD) and is independently associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The two major phenotypes—obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA)—exhibit distinct distributions across VHD subtypes. CSA predominates in severe aortic stenosis,

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

ABSTRACT Aims Thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections are major causes of sudden cardiovascular death. We aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of the MYLK c.4079G>A, p.(Gly1360Asp) variant in Finnish families with heritable thoracic aortic disease (HTAD) and to assess evidence for a potential founder effect.
