ABSTRACT Introduction Myocardial injury is a significant contributor to 30‐day mortality after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. We aimed to investigate the association between mean arterial pressure, norepinephrine use during the aorta cross‐clamp period, and aorta cross‐clamp duration with myocardial injury during cardiopulmonary bypass ...

Preventable geometric failure modes, such as outflow graft kinking and inflow malposition, frequently cause HeartMate 3 dysfunction. This study identifies these complications as key drivers of device‐related morbidity, highlighting the importance of optimized surgical positioning to ensure long‐term device performance and improved clinical outcomes ...

In this series of 19 DCD donors using TA‐NRP, 89.5% of hearts were successfully transplanted with no PGD, no postoperative ECMO, and no 30‐day mortality, demonstrating the feasibility and safety of this approach. ABSTRACT Controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) with thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA‐NRP) has emerged ...

Evaluating Harm Reduction Advice From Large Language Models
ABSTRACT Introduction Large language models (LLM) and generative Artificial Intelligence are increasingly providing health information. We have applied a novel method to evaluate the harm reduction information generated by popular LLMs. We focused on the filtration of oral medications for injection and the availability of local harm reduction services.

Chd4/NuRD and ThPOK cooperate to maintain transcriptional repression and nuclear organization in adult cardiomyocytes. Chd4 loss reduces miR‐150‐5p, relieving repression of Sprr1a, while ThPOK loss further enhances Sprr1a activation, possibly through altered chromatin–lamina interactions.
