Intravenous administration of umbilical cord lining stem cells in left ventricular assist device recpieint: Rational and design of the uSTOP LVAD BLEED pilot study

American Heart Journal Plus, 2022
Background: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation provides a robust survival advantage, however despite improvements in mortality, the adverse event burden of durable mechanical circulatory support remains high.

Amiodarone-Induced Thyrotoxicosis and Ventricular Arrhythmias: Case Report and Review of the Literature [PDF]

, 2016
INTRODUCTION Amiodarone is a common drug used to treat arrhythmias and its side effects are diverse. An important adverse effect is amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT), which can potentially lead to a pro-arrythmogenic state. There have been limited

Use of Right Ventricular Assist Device Post-Left Ventricular Assist Device Placement

Hearts
Right heart failure (RHF) is a common manifestation after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement and is associated with a high mortality rate. Historically, RV failure requiring an RVAD at the time of LVAD implantation has been associated with ...

Cavopulmonary assist for the failing Fontan circulation: impact of ventricular function on mechanical support strategy [PDF]

, 2014
Mechanical circulatory support--either ventricular assist device (VAD, left-sided systemic support) or cavopulmonary assist device (CPAD, right-sided support)--has been suggested as treatment for Fontan failure.

Lessons Learned From a Delayed‐Start Trial of Modafinil for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Freezing of gait (FOG) in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) is debilitating and has limited treatments. Modafinil modulates beta/gamma band activity in the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN), like PPN deep brain stimulation. We therefore tested the hypothesis that Modafinil would improve FOG in PwPD.
