Left ventricular fibromas in pediatric patients: a case series and review of the literature
Cardiac fibromas are rare benign primary tumors of the heart; nearly one-third of affected patients are less than 1 year old, and only 15% of patients develop this disease in adulthood. Here, we report three cases of cardiac fibroma in our hospital.

Postoperative brain volumes are associated with one-year neurodevelopmental outcome in children with severe congenital heart disease [PDF]
Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) remain at risk for neurodevelopmental impairment despite improved peri- and intraoperative care. Our prospective cohort study aimed to determine the relationship between perioperative brain volumes and neurodevelopmental outcome in neonates with severe CHD. Pre- and postoperative cerebral MRI was acquired in

CoRD: Converged RDMA Dataplane for High-Performance Clouds [PDF]
High-performance networking is often characterized by kernel bypass which is considered mandatory in high-performance parallel and distributed applications. But kernel bypass comes at a price because it breaks the traditional OS architecture, requiring applications to use special APIs and limiting the OS control over existing network connections.

Abstract Aims Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is the standard approach for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in advanced ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Microaxial pump support has been envisioned to allow for beating‐heart CABG without CPB (MPCAB), thereby avoiding CPB‐inherent complications.
