Left ventricular assist devices: a kidney’s perspective [PDF]
The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has become an established treatment option for patients with refractory heart failure. Many of these patients experience chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to chronic cardiorenal syndrome type II, which is often alleviated quickly following LVAD implantation.

Factors influencing transfusion-associated HLA sensitization in patients bridged to heart transplantation using ventricular assist device. [PDF]
BackgroundBridging heart failure patients with mechanical ventricular assist devices (VAD) enables access to transplantation. However, VAD is associated with increased risk for anti-HLA antibodies associated with rejection of subsequent allografts ...

Left Ventricular Assist Devices Are Underutilized [PDF]
Heart failure has become one of the fastest growing cardiovascular diagnoses, with estimates as high as 500 000 new cases per year.1,2 This growth is in part a result of the reductions in death from acute coronary syndromes, increased use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and improved survival with most cardiovascular interventions, which ...

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

The impact of Hnrnpl deficiency on transcriptional patterns of developing muscle cells
We performed nanopore whole‐transcriptome sequencing comparing RNA from Hnrnpl‐knockdown versus control C2C12 myoblasts to investigate the contributions of Hnrnpl to muscle development. Our results indicate that Hnrnpl regulates the expression of genes involved with Notch signaling and skeletal muscle, particularly splicing patterns of specific muscle ...

The diagnosis of left ventricular assist device thrombosis [PDF]
The clinical course of a patient with a left ventricular assist device is described. A total of 6 weeks after device insertion, the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level increased to 2801 U/l despite adding low-molecular-weight heparin to acenocoumarol and aspirin. Pump thrombosis was suspected but unconfirmed by computed tomography.

Long‐Term Temporal Profile of Motor Recovery After Intracerebral Hemorrhage
ABSTRACT Objective Limited data is available to describe the temporal profile of long‐term recovery over 1 year after the stroke in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods A registered multicentral cohort was conducted to consecutively include non‐herniated supratentorial ICH patients from November 2013 to January 2023 ...
