A Novel Biventricular Assist Device With a Single Driveline: A Report on the First Patient Treated
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.We would like to report the first‐in‐human implantation of the novel DuoCor‐BiVAS biventricular assist device (BiVAD). This system features a single driveline and compact peripheral components, offering a promising mechanical support option for patients with terminal biventricular heart failure ineligible for heart transplantation.

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.The therapy with PAP using BR‐350 resulted in a significant decrease of bilirubin concentrations. The median relative reduction of bilirubin was comparable between PAP and OPAL (47% vs. 40%, p = 0.29). The crossover comparison between the single session of PAP using BR‐350 and OPAL revealed similar relative reduction rates of bilirubin.

Characterisation and Prognostic Implication of Cholestasis After Burn Injury
Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.In 532 burn ICU patients, we quantified trajectories of cholestasis markers and validated burn‐associated cholestasis definitions. Bilirubin dynamics, particularly hyperbilirubinemia ≥ 2× ULN within 14 days, independently predicted excess in‐hospital and overall mortality beyond burn and critical‐illness severity, identifying a high‐risk subgroup after
