Variation of Procalcitonin Level in Elective Cardiac Surgery at a Tertiary Cardiac Centre: A Prospective Longitudinal Study

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Procalcitonin (PCT) levels often rise after cardiac surgery due to an ongoing postoperative inflammatory response. The changes in PCT levels are useful for the early detection of postoperative infections. We assessed the variation of procalcitonin levels in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery at the leading tertiary cardiac

Variation in Chronic Automated Red Cell Exchange Practices for Sickle Cell Disease: Insights Into Isovolemic Hemodilution Use

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Apheresis, Volume 41, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Prior surveys of chronic automated red blood cell exchange (RCE) for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) have identified considerable procedural variability, especially with the use of isovolemic hemodilution red blood cell exchange (IHD‐RCE).

Prophylactic Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion During Mitral Valve Repair in Patients Without Atral Fibrillation: A Meta‐Analysis of Time to Event Data

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
In patients without atrial fibrillation undergoing mitral valve repair, prophylactic left atrial appendage occlusion significantly reduces long‐term thromboembolic events and early in‐hospital stroke, without increasing mortality, although it is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation.

Tissue‐retained needles in people who inject drugs: A systematic review of case reports and series on clinical presentations, complications and management

open access: yesAddiction, Volume 121, Issue 6, Page 1381-1397, June 2026.
Abstract Background and aims Tissue‐retained needles from intravenous drug use can cause rare but severe complications, ranging from local to systemic infections to needle embolization. Due to the limited evidence and the lack of epidemiological studies on the issue, we systematically reviewed the literature focusing on case reports and case series on ...

Time of day of cardiac surgery and postoperative outcomes in the UK: a secondary analysis of linked national datasets

open access: yesAnaesthesia, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 775-782, June 2026.
Summary Introduction Uncertainty remains regarding whether the time of day that cardiac surgery is performed affects postoperative outcomes or if the observed variation can be explained by patient or surgical factors. Methods A secondary analysis of prospectively collected data was conducted to examine the association between time of cardiac surgery ...

Evaluation of a Rat Cardiopulmonary Bypass Model Using an Extraluminal Flow Oxygenator

open access: yesArtificial Organs, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 825-830, June 2026.
A rat cardiopulmonary bypass model was constructed incorporating the developed extraluminal flow oxygenator and compared with a commercial intraluminal flow oxygenator. Both oxygenators demonstrated comparable gas exchange performance and inflammatory responses; however, the one developed in this study better preserved PLT counts.
