This document discusses athlete's heart and the use of echocardiography in evaluating it. It notes that intense dynamic training can cause eccentric hypertrophy while intense isometric training causes concentric hypertrophy. It references several studies on using new echocardiography techniques to differentiate physiological cardiac remodeling in athletes from pathology. One study found 4D strain imaging useful to identify subtle abnormalities. Other studies examined global longitudinal strain for assessing athlete's heart and the role of cardiac biomarkers to improve diagnosis. The document provides an overview of research on evaluating cardiac changes in athletes using echocardiography.

Cabg is superior to pci in heart failure patients with multivessel disease pro
1. CABG has been the standard of care for over 50 years in treating multivessel coronary artery disease based on clinical trials showing superior outcomes compared to medical management alone.
2. The SYNTAX trial demonstrated superior survival rates for CABG compared to first-generation drug-eluting stents for patients with 3-vessel disease.
3. Incomplete revascularization during PCI is associated with worse outcomes, with differences between PCI and CABG being most significant for patients who are incompletely revascularized.

PCI vs OMT vs CABG in Stable CAD
This document summarizes recent evidence on medical treatments, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for stable coronary artery disease. Key findings include:
1) Large clinical trials found no significant difference in outcomes between PCI and optimal medical therapy for stable CAD patients.
2) CABG was shown to reduce mortality, myocardial infarction, and repeat revascularization compared to medical therapy or PCI for multi-vessel disease.
3) For left main coronary artery disease, CABG may be preferable to PCI for patients with high anatomical complexity scores.
4) Ongoing trials like ISCHEMIA are further evaluating optimal revascularization strategies for stable CAD patients with ischemia.
Pci vs cabg
This document discusses PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) versus CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) for treating stable coronary artery disease. It provides historical context on the evolution of both procedures and summarizes key randomized controlled trials comparing outcomes of PCI versus CABG. The trials show that CABG provided better long-term outcomes than balloon angioplasty or bare metal stents in multivessel disease. Later trials with drug-eluting stents still found CABG superior for left main or multivessel disease, though the differences were smaller. CABG remains the standard of care for more complex anatomies while PCI is preferred for simpler cases.

1) Endovascular treatment of infected abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is an alternative to open surgery that provides less invasive and rapid aneurysm exclusion with prompt bleeding control.
2) Successful endovascular repair requires broad-spectrum antibiotics, adjunct procedures like surgical debridement for eliminating infection sources, and prolonged antibiotic therapy.
3) Endovascular repair alone may be sufficient for well-controlled infections, while unstable patients may require additional drainage; long-term antibiotic therapy is always needed.

Cad and low ef does viability assessment matter
This document discusses the value of viability studies in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and low ejection fraction (EF). It summarizes several studies on the topic and discusses their limitations. A key trial was the STICH trial, which found no significant difference in outcomes between revascularization and medical therapy alone, challenging the belief that revascularization benefits those with viable myocardium. The document concludes that while viability concepts are biologically plausible, recent trials create confusion and there is no consensus on how to apply viability testing in practice.
Evar in inflammatory aaa
EVAR is an effective treatment for inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms (I-AAA), providing reduced perioperative mortality and complications compared to open repair. However, EVAR may be associated with higher rates of persistent peri-aortic fibrosis and ureteral obstruction compared to open repair. Close monitoring and early initiation of medical therapies like steroids, immunosuppressants, and tamoxifen may help reduce these complications after EVAR for I-AAA. While EVAR is generally safer, more research is still needed to determine the best treatment strategies for this condition.

Coronary angioplasty has revolutionized the management of coronary artery disease. It has not ceased to develop to become the reference method of myocardial revascularization. The aim of our study is to evaluate the ultrasound parameters of left ventricular function after coronary angioplasty. This is a prospective analytical study including patients with stable coronary artery disease with a known coronary artery anatomy programmed for coronary angioplasty. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed four hours before and seven days after myocardial revascularization.
Scientific news march 2015 samir rafla
1) A study examined 103 heart attack patients treated with high-dose statins and found plaque volume decreased slightly (0.9%) in the arteries not responsible for the heart attack.
2) A randomized study of 296 heart attack patients found that performing revascularization of additional blocked arteries beyond the heart attack artery led to fewer total cardiac events (10% vs 21%) over 12 months compared to only treating the heart attack artery.
3) A study of 738 patients with chronic total blockages and good collateral blood flow found that revascularizing the blockages reduced cardiac death and total cardiac events compared to medical treatment alone, showing benefit of revascularization even in patients with established collateral circulation.
Left Main Coronary Artery Disease- Management Strategy
1) Left main coronary artery disease has traditionally been treated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), which is considered the gold standard.
2) Recent studies comparing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using drug-eluting stents to CABG have shown no significant differences in mortality or major adverse cardiac events between the two treatments.
3) PCI may be preferable to CABG for patients with isolated left main or left main plus single vessel disease, while CABG remains the standard treatment for more complex multi-vessel disease.
Opcab and af 2008
This study evaluated outcomes of 1095 patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery at Bangkok Heart Hospital between 2003-2008. 170 patients (15.5%) developed atrial fibrillation post-operatively. The study found no significant differences in pre-operative characteristics or operative details between those who did and did not develop atrial fibrillation. However, patients who developed atrial fibrillation tended to be older, have a higher rate of congestive heart failure and prior percutaneous coronary intervention, and a longer hospital stay. Developing atrial fibrillation also increased risks of post-operative pneumonia, renal failure, and dialysis requirement.
How should recently symptomatic patients be treated urgent cea or cas
Recent symptomatic patients with carotid artery stenosis can be treated with either urgent carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid artery stenting (CAS). While early studies found CEA to have better outcomes, more recent trials like CREST showed comparable rates of stroke and death between CEA and CAS. For recently symptomatic patients specifically, CEA may still be preferred to CAS due to concerns about stabilizing carotid plaque after stenting. Operator experience also impacts outcomes, so treatment should be individualized based on each patient's clinical situation.
Guidelines in the management of carotid stenosis
This document provides an overview of guidelines for the management of carotid stenosis. It discusses:
1) Stroke is a major cause of death, with many caused by carotid artery disease. The risk of stroke is directly related to the degree of stenosis.
2) Natural history studies show that the risk of stroke is highest in the first year after symptoms and then declines over time. The risk is higher for more severe stenosis.
3) Early trials demonstrated the benefits of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in reducing stroke risks compared to medical management alone for symptomatic and some asymptomatic patients.
4) Later trials evaluated carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) as an alternative to CEA but
DR. MAICOL AUGUSTO CORTEZ SANDOVAL/Fibrilacion auricular subclinica
1) The document discusses subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) which are episodes of high atrial rate (>6 minutes) detected by implanted cardiac devices in patients without a previous diagnosis of AF.
2) Studies have found the prevalence of subclinical AF detected by devices ranges from 30-60% in patients with devices.
3) Subclinical AF appears to evolve into clinically apparent AF over time and is associated with increased risks of stroke and other thromboembolic events, particularly for longer episodes lasting over 24 hours.
4) Further research is still needed to understand the relationship between subclinical AF detected by devices and cardiovascular outcomes like stroke risk.
No evidence of ccsvi in multiple sclerosis
This document summarizes research on chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) and its proposed link to multiple sclerosis (MS). Several studies found no association between CCSVI and MS, including a large blinded case-control study. The validity of ultrasound criteria for CCSVI was also challenged. While initial studies reported benefits from angioplasty to treat CCSVI, later work revealed major flaws and no evidence was found to support CCSVI playing a causal role in MS or to justify further research on the proposed "liberation treatment."
Options for tough situation
The document discusses options for difficult forearm arteriovenous fistula (AVF) access for hemodialysis. It describes using basilic or cephalic vein transposition in the forearm when wrist AVF is not available or has failed. The author presents case studies and results from 82 patients who underwent basilic or cephalic vein transposition, finding 96% primary patency and 87% secondary patency after a mean follow up of 32.5 months. Complications occurred in 17% of cases and were mostly treated conservatively without loss of the fistula. The conclusions emphasize that autogenous AVF using transposed forearm veins can provide good patency and should be emphasized for long-term hemod

This document summarizes the findings of a study analyzing 19,482 left main stem percutaneous coronary intervention (LMS-PCI) procedures from the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society National Database between 2007-2014:
1) Use of radial artery access for LMS-PCI increased significantly over time and radial access was associated with reduced vascular complications, major bleeding, and shorter hospital stays.
2) Radial access was independently associated with lower in-hospital mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACE) compared to femoral access.
3) Independent predictors of 12-month mortality following LMS-PCI included acute kidney injury, older age, chronic renal failure, acute coronary syndrome presentation, andREBOA
REBOA (Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta) is a technique where a balloon is inserted into the aorta and inflated to temporarily control hemorrhaging from torso injuries, which account for 8.2% of trauma cases and have a 44.6% mortality rate. While the concept of REBOA was first introduced in the 1950s, it did not gain adoption until recent advances in endovascular procedures. Current evidence suggests REBOA may help increase blood pressure and organ perfusion but also risks complications like inflammation. The document recommends that REBOA only be used within clinical trials or registries in Australia to further evaluate its risks and benefits.
2014 ghassemi-factor-influencing
This study investigated factors that influence the need for preoperative vascular imaging before harvesting a vascularized fibular flap. The researchers analyzed 185 angiograms and found significant correlations between lower extremity artery pathology and risk factors like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and increased age. Specifically, increased age was the strongest predictor of vessel pathology. The study concludes that preoperative vascular imaging should be performed in patients with medical comorbidities to reduce the risks of flap failure and donor site complications when harvesting a fibular flap.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with adjunctive endarterectomy (CE) is a useful technique for treating complex cases of diffuse coronary artery disease. CE aims to completely revascularize the heart by removing coronary artery blockages. While results of CE are debated, one study found acceptable mid-term results with CE and CABG, including a 2.7% in-hospital mortality rate. The study also compared outcomes of patients treated postoperatively with single antiplatelet therapy (aspirin) versus dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin and clopidogrel). No significant differences in outcomes were found between the two groups in the mid-term follow up period, though dual antiplate
Hybrid tevar for the treatment of aortic dissection
- Hybrid TEVAR involves using open surgery and endovascular stent grafting to treat aortic dissection.
- It can be used for acute type A dissection to allow total arch repair followed by TEVAR for the descending thoracic aorta. It is also indicated for chronic type B dissection when there is no suitable proximal landing zone by creating one through open surgery.
- The author presents results from their hospital demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of hybrid TEVAR for both acute type A and chronic type B dissection, with favorable outcomes including high rates of false lumen thrombosis and regression.
CCTGA dobutamine
1) The study compared systemic right ventricular function in unoperated and physiologically repaired congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) patients to healthy controls, using MRI dobutamine stress testing.
2) At baseline, systemic right ventricular volumes were larger but ejection fraction was lower in CCTGA patients compared to controls. However, all groups responded appropriately to dobutamine stress with increases in stroke volume and cardiac index.
3) While CCTGA patients had diminished ejection fraction at baseline compared to controls, their systemic right ventricle responded similarly to dobutamine stress, suggesting preserved cardiac reserve. MRI dobutamine stress may help identify CCTGA patients who can be observed without operation.

ISMST 2015 Abstract 2 - The influence of medical shockwaves on muscle activat...
This study investigated the effects of medical shockwave therapy on muscle activation patterns and performance in healthy athletes. Golfers and weightlifters underwent shockwave therapy targeting specific muscles. Post-treatment, golfers showed increased swing speed, ball distance, and faster muscle activation. Weightlifters showed faster muscle activation but lower energy output during squats, though they were able to lift more weight. The study suggests shockwave therapy may induce favorable biological responses in healthy muscles, reducing fatigue and potential for overuse injuries over time. Further research is warranted.

PRP injections significantly reduced pain and improved function in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis. At 1 month post-injection, patients reported a mean reduction in pain of 16.4 points on a visual analog scale. Grip strength and quality of life measures also significantly improved. At 3 months, further reductions in pain of 27 points and improvements in function were observed. Over 80% of patients avoided surgery during the follow-up period due to the effectiveness of PRP injections in treating their chronic elbow tendinopathy.

Cardiovascular Pathophysiology In the Setting of Spinal Cord Injury
Dr. Christopher West shares his research that investigates the cardiovascular and autonomic changes that occur following spinal cord injury as well as the efficacy of neuro-therapeutic interventions.
Dr. West’s group uses small and large in vivo animal models to understand how the circuitry that controls the cardiovascular system changes following injury and what the downstream impact of these changes are for heart and blood vessel function. They also use these models to test the efficacy of novel therapies in the both the acute and chronic setting following injury. In the clinical and athletic spinal cord injury population, his group has conducted a number of mechanistic and applied studies to, 1) improve the understanding of how best to hemodynamically manage acutely injured patients, and 2) enhance the capacity of the cardiovascular system to enable an improved exercise response.
This webinar introduces the major cardiovascular changes that have been characterized following spinal cord injury in animal models and the clinical population. Chris shares some exciting results from recent studies in which his group has tested the efficacy of novel therapies to improve cardiovascular function. Finally, he provides his outlook for the future of the field.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
