Successful propranolol therapy for infantile hepatic hemangioma with cardiac failure

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile hepatic hemangioma (IHH) can cause severe complications such as high‐output cardiac failure and growth faltering, requiring prompt diagnosis and intervention. In the absence of standardized treatment guidelines, propranolol has emerged as an effective and well‐tolerated therapy.

Left and right myocardial performance indices in growth‐restricted fetuses: systematic review and meta‐analysis

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate alterations in fetal cardiac function in pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction (FGR) by synthesizing evidence on myocardial performance index (MPI) and its constituent parameters for both the left and right ventricles.

The Evolution in Understanding the Physiological Causes of Dyspnoea in Large Hiatal Herniation: A Narrative Review

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The symptomatology of large hiatus hernia (LHH) has been historically poorly understood, with cardiorespiratory symptoms caused by LHH being underappreciated by clinicians. This study reports on the mechanisms of dyspnoea in LHH through a historical review of symptoms and evolved physiological literature, discussing likely causation.

Validation of Aortic Blood Flow Simulations During Extracorporeal Circulation Using Phase Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
This is the first study assessing in vivo blood flow profiles during extracorporeal circulation (ECC) scenarios. Magnetic resonance imaging data served for the calibration of computational fluid dynamics algorithms, enabling accurate replication of the hemodynamic conditions.

Project Sickle Cure: A Prospective, International Observational Study of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Sickle Cell Disease

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic and life‐limiting hemoglobin and systemic vascular disease. While over 1000 people have undergone hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) over the last 40 years, long‐term disease‐specific and health‐related quality of life data are lacking.
