Left ventricular decompression in paediatric veno‐arterial extracorporeal life support: Reviewing the evidence

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Veno‐arterial extracorporeal life support (VA ECLS) is crucial for neonatal and paediatric patients with severe circulatory collapse but may cause left ventricular (LV) overload, affecting myocardial recovery and causing complications. Evidence on optimal LV decompression strategies in paediatric patients remains limited.

Endoscopic remodeling of esophageal stenosis refractory to traditional endoscopic treatment

open access: yesJPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Esophageal atresia (EA), with or without tracheoesophageal fistula, is the most common congenital anomaly of the esophagus. Surgical correction is the primary treatment, however, up to 80% of patients experience anastomotic stenosis, with esophageal balloon dilation (EBD) being the first‐line treatment.

The effects of repetitive electric cardiac stimulation in dogs with normal hearts, complete heart block and experimental cardiac arrest [PDF]

open access: yes, 1955
Direct cardiac stimulation was conducted in the open chest. In normal animals, auricular stimulation at frequencies faster than the spontaneous rate caused little change in vascular pressures or cardiac output.

Robot‐Assisted Versus Open Surgery for the Resection of Large Thymomas: A Retrospective Cohort Study

open access: yesJournal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Robot‐assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is increasingly becoming the preferred surgical method for the resection of thymomas. We initiated the current study to evaluate perioperative outcomes and early recurrence associated with the surgical approach.

Dexmedetomidine Blocks the ERK Pathway by Inhibiting MAP3K8 to Achieve a Protective Effect in Lung Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lung ischemia/reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a primary contributor to morbidity and mortality following lung transplantation. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) protects the lungs from I/R injury, but the underlying mechanisms remain uncertain. This paper examined the protective effect of DEX in LIRI and elucidated the potential regulation involved. LIRI was

Cost effectiveness of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator: a preliminary analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Background-An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) maybe effective in reducing the risk of sudden cardiac death. The high cost of ICD treatment, however, compared with alternatives raises the question of whether this new technology is an ...

Prenatal Diagnosis of Horseshoe Lung: A Report of Three Cases and Review of the Literature

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Horseshoe lung is a rare congenital malformation in which the lungs are fused by a parenchymal isthmus. The current literature is very limited regarding cases of prenatal diagnosis and their outcome. Method We retrospectively examined three cases of fetuses with horseshoe lung diagnosed antenatally in our center from 2015 to 2024 ...
