Periodontitis and its association with left ventricular geometry and function: A cross‐sectional study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigated the cross‐sectional association between periodontal status and left ventricular (LV) geometry and function, an early and prognostically relevant marker of cardiovascular disease. Methods Data were drawn from two population‐based cohorts in the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP): SHIP‐START‐2 (N = 2333) and ...

Ultrasound‐Guided Liposomal vs. Conventional Bupivacaine Erector Spinae Plane Block Plus Gabapentin for Postherpetic Neuralgia

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to compare efficacy and safety of ultrasound‐guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) using liposomal (LB) versus conventional bupivacaine (CB), each plus standardized gabapentin, in patients with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). A total of 116 PHN patients were randomized to ESPB‐LB or ESPB‐CB; both groups received standardized ...

Hemodynamic Significance of APEXCT Coronary Angiography Combined With Dynamic CT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Assessing Restenosis After Coronary Stenting

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the hemodynamic significance of in‐stent restenosis (ISR) by using a combined anatomical‐functional approach with photon‐counting CT coronary angiography (APEX‐CT CTA) and dynamic CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT‐MPI). We prospectively enrolled 239 symptomatic patients at least 9 months after PCI.

Recurrent Pericardial Effusion Resulting From Right Ventricular Free Wall Injury Caused by Leadless Pacemaker Tines

JACC: Case Reports
An 87-year-old man developed delayed cardiac tamponade 55 min after leadless pacemaker implantation and recurrent pericardial effusion 20 days later. Electrocardiogram-gated enhanced cardiac computed tomography revealed that the leadless pacemaker tines ...

Effects of Noninvasive Cervical Vagal Nerve Stimulation on Cognitive Performance But Not Brain Activation in Healthy Adults

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Objectives While preliminary evidence suggests that noninvasive vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) may enhance cognition, to our knowledge, no study has directly assessed the effects of nVNS on brain function and cognitive performance in healthy individuals.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
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.

Familial Clustering of Cardiac Conduction Defects and Pacemaker Insertion

, 2019
Background: The etiopathogenesis of electrocardiographic bundle branch and atrioventricular blocks is not fully understood. We investigated familial clustering of cardiac conduction defects and pacemaker insertion in the FHS (Framingham Heart Study ...

When Urgency Drops: Temporal Consciousness and the Choreography of Dying

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the hospital, the transition from fighting for life to preparing for death involves not only a shift in medical repertoires but also a profound transformation in temporal experience. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a Canadian intensive care unit, this article examines how the tempo of care, its rhythms, urgencies, and pauses shapes ...
