Antithrombotic therapy in patients with prosthetic heart valves

Revista Cubana de Cardiología y Cirugía Cardiovascular, 2014
The thromboembolic events are still an important complication in patients with substitution of any of the heart valves in spite of the advances obtained in the design of prostheses.

Influence of nanohydroxyapatite mouthwash on the growth of Candida albicans biofilm on milled denture surfaces: An in vitro study

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose There is a need for effective solutions for the persistent prevalence of denture stomatitis (DS) in denture‐wearing populations. This study assessed the impact of nanohydroxyapatite (nanoHAP) nanoparticles on Candida albicans biofilm formation on milled polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture bases.

Comparative analysis of ovine and human aortic valve tissue for bioprosthetic valve development using relaxation tests and numerical simulation

Scientific Reports
As the demand for aortic valve prostheses grows, optimizing their mechanical performance and durability is essential. While mechanical valves offer longevity, their need for lifelong anticoagulation limits their use, making bioprosthetic valves a ...

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and

Time to Clinical Dryness and Wound Outcomes After Drainless DAA Total Hip Arthroplasty With Standardized Multilayer Symmetric PDS Plus Closure: Bikini Versus Longitudinal Incisions

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Standardized drainless DAA‐THA closure using Symmetric PDS Plus is safe and efficient, with “time to clinical dryness” serving as a pragmatic indicator of early healing. Furthermore, bikini incisions significantly improve aesthetics without compromising safety, as wound complication risks are primarily driven by host comorbidities.

Management of Left Atrial Appendage Thrombi and Spontaneous Echo Contrast

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To analyze the efficacy and safety of various anticoagulation strategies/regimen used for managing thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast in the left atrial appendage. Methods Thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast in the left atrial appendage was detected via transesophageal echocardiography in 83 patients, most often during a stroke

A Reassessment of Prophylactic Antibiotics in Low‐Infection‐Risk Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certain electrophysiology (EP) procedures are associated with minimal tissue disruption and do not involve permanent transvenous leads. As a result, these interventions carry a lower risk of device‐ or procedure‐related infection. These procedures include placement of implantable cardiac monitors, leadless pacemakers, and left atrial appendage
