Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Interventions for Perioperative Anxiety in Adults: A Systemic Review With Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Clinical Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Surgery often causes anxiety in adults due to various factors, including fear of anaesthesia and loss of independence. This anxiety can lead to higher anaesthesia requirements and more postoperative complications. Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly used as a non‐pharmacological intervention to decrease perioperative anxiety.

Tensioning diaphragmoplasty for treating bilateral phrenic nerve paralysis in a dog

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
A spayed female Miniature dachshund presented with a large mediastinal mass. During thymectomy, the left phrenic nerve, which was encircled by the neoplastic tissue, was resected en bloc with the tumour and the right phrenic nerve was damaged by thermal coagulation from electrosurgery. Postoperatively, the dog exhibited significant respiratory distress

Predicting right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device implant: A novel approach

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 1916-1931, June 2025.
Abstract Aims Right ventricular (RV) failure (RVF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implant is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Modern, data‐driven approaches for defining and predicting RVF have been under‐utilized. Methods Two hundred thirty‐two patients were identified with a mean age of 55 years; 40 (17%) were women, 132 ...
