Synchronization‐Dissipation in the Cardiorespiratory System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By modeling central nervous coupling and viscoelastic interactions in the cardiorespiratory system we show that synchronization produces a 10% gain in cardiac efficiency in humans. It is surmised that respiratory sinus arrhythmia improves cardiac pumping efficiency by reducing dynamic stress and power dissipation in the pulmonary vasculature.

Early Outcomes After Total Arch Replacement With Frozen Elephant Trunk in Elderly Patients With Acute Type A Aortic Dissection

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Across seven centers (2015–2023), we studied 1634 ATAAD patients undergoing TAR+FET and, after propensity matching (n = 699), compared elderly (≥ 60) versus non‐elderly (< 60) outcomes. Elderly patients had higher 30‐day mortality and complications (log‐rank p = 0.002), supporting individualized hybrid strategies, organ‐protective perioperative care ...

Nationwide Real‐World Modeling of Surgical Outcomes in Elderly Patients: Incorporating Geriatric‐Specific Risk Factors Into Prediction of Mortality and Morbidity

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
A reliable and effective risk prediction model for mortality and morbidity in elderly patients undergoing gastroenterological surgeries was developed and validated. Geriatric‐specific risk factors, including the newly added variables in the NCD registry, along with age, were identified as significant contributors to the model. ABSTRACT Aim As the aging
