EuroSCORE II: Current limitations and physiological gaps in risk stratification

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Risk stratification remains critical in cardiac surgery, enabling clinicians to predict adverse outcomes and guide perioperative management. The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II, introduced in 2011, incorporates 18 key variables to provide an evidence‐based approach to risk assessment.

The X Factor in Immunity: Sex Differences Shaped by the X Chromosome

Immunological Reviews, Volume 338, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT There are sex differences with immune responses where females exhibit stronger immune responses compared to males. Both sex hormones and sex chromosome differences between males and females contribute to the observed sex differences with innate and adaptive immune cell composition and function.

Disseminated Invasive Aspergillosis in a Young Patient With Chronic Alcohol Use and Seemingly Preserved Immunocompetence: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive aspergillosis, though typically seen in immunocompromised patients, can also affect immunocompetent individuals and mimic pulmonary malignancy. This case highlights the importance of considering fungal infections in the differential diagnosis of chronic respiratory symptoms, particularly in patients with risk factors such as heavy ...

Effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors on the pulmonary circulation in lung cancer patients

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 3, Page 682-696, 1 February 2026.
What's new? Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective against various cancers, but as more patients receive these therapies, more immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) emerge. Recent studies have suggested that ICIs are associated with an increase in pulmonary artery diameter and the ratio between pulmonary artery diameter and aortic diameter ...

ETIOLOGY, INVESTIGATIONS, AND TREATMENT IN CASES OF CONSTRICTIVE PERICARDITIS [PDF]

, 2022
The fibroelastic sac that covers the heart is known as the pericardium. It has an effect on cardiac hemodynamics and serves as a protective barrier. Constrictive pericarditis is a condition in which the pericardium grows granulation tissue, causing a ...

Safety and Efficacy of Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Patients

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) was evaluated in 479 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), 52% paroxysmal. Among 104 patients > 75 years, complication rates and 6‐ and 12‐month arrhythmia‐free survival were not significantly different from younger patients. Age did not predict recurrence. PFA appears safe and effective in elderly AF patients.
