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 ...

Proportional assist ventilation versus pressure support ventilation in the weaning of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014
Background: Patients with COPD are frequently hospitalized for acute exacerbations (AECOPD), which may cause respiratory failure and death. Proportional assist ventilation (PAV) is a relatively new mode of ventilator-based, inspiratory support designed ...

Phenotype Expansion of Malan Syndrome: New Cases and a Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malan syndrome is an ultra‐rare overgrowth syndrome caused by pathogenic variants or deletions in nuclear factor one X (NFIX) located at 19p13.2. Here, we report a comprehensive literature review and phenotyping of known patients with Malan syndrome and present a novel cohort of eight patients.

Multivariate Analysis of Hematological Stress Biomarkers and Welfare Domains in Organic and Intensive Pig Farming in Italy: A Pilot Study

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Intensive or organic farming systems may expose pigs to management or environmental challenges. Our preliminary results concluded that organic farming might enhance adaptive immune function, showing that improvements in welfare can translate into measurable immunological benefits, based on the correlation between welfare assessment and physiological ...
