Abstract Aims Although predominant in routine practice, non‐ischaemic cardiogenic shock (NICS) remains underrepresented in past studies, mainly focused on ischaemic cardiogenic shock (CS). This study aims to describe the current NICS picture and define its independent correlates of short‐ and long‐term outcomes.

Somatic growth in single ventricle patients: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Abstract Aim To map somatic growth patterns throughout Fontan palliation and summarise evidence on its key modifiers. Methods Databases were searched for relevant articles published from January 2000 to December 2021. Height and weight z scores at each time point (birth, Glenn procedure, Fontan procedure and >5 years after Fontan completion) were ...

Abstract Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a common complication following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation and increases patient morbidity and mortality. Due to the complex and limited understanding of RVF pathophysiology, efforts to prognosticate RVF after LVAD have been challenging.

Symmetric hyperbolic Euler equations for relativistic perfect fluids [PDF]
The Euler equations governing a relativistic perfect fluid are put into symmetric hyperbolic form with dependent variables the fluid's specific entropy plus a generalized velocity vector equal to the fluid's unit relativistic velocity vector divided pointwise by the fluid's specific enthalpy.

Abdominal compliance, linearity between abdominal pressure and ascitic fluid volume
Background: Drainage of ascitic fluid is a common practice in order to relief the respiratory discomfort of patients. Aim: To determine the relation between the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and extracted volume of the ascitic fluid, in order to ...

Diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
Background Spontaneous infection of ascites is a severe complication of ascites and must be actively searched for. Many studies have been carried out on inflammatory markers and their levels in serum and ascitic fluid such as complement 3 (C3 ...

Abstract Aims Early diuresis and natriuresis are commonly used to assess the efficacy of decongestive therapy following an acute heart failure episode. There is limited knowledge regarding which parameter better predicts adverse clinical outcomes, especially in the outpatient setting.

Metastability and nucleation in the dilute fluid phase of a simple model of globular proteins [PDF]
The dilute fluid phase of model globular proteins is studied. The model possesses a fluid-fluid transition buried within the fluid-crystal coexistence region, as do some globular proteins. If this fluid-fluid transition is not buried deep inside the fluid-crystal coexistence region the crystalline phase does not nucleate within the dilute fluid.
