This study reviewed data from the ELSO registry on 44 patients who received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) between 2007-2016. Overall survival to discharge was 56.8% and 75% were weaned off ECMO. Higher pre-ECMO ventilation rates and use of vasopressors/inotropes were associated with decreased survival, as was ECMO cannula site bleeding. The study concludes ECMO can be a viable option for PPCM patients when clinically indicated based on the survival rates observed.

Carotid Artery Stenosis Treatment OptionsRichard Wong
Carotid artery stenosis may lead to stroke if it is not managed. Success rates for carotid artery endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting are high and a great number of patients now are being treated successfully by these advanced procedures.
Predictors of Ischaemia and Outcomes in Egyptian Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Referred for Perfusion Imaging. Samir Rafla*, Ahmed Abdel-Aaty, Mohamed Ahmed Sadaka, Aly Ahmed Abo Elhoda and Ahmed Mohamed Shams
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an effective therapy to improve outcomes for children who experience cardiopulmonary arrest. Survival after ECLS varies between 60% and 75%. For ECPR survival is lower, with 40% to 50% of children surviving ECPR. After ECPR good neurological outcomes are seen in 40% to 60% of children. This contrasts with adult patients where neurological outcomes after ECPR are poor. Given these findings the American Heart Association has included ECPR in their 2015 guidelines for children who experience an in hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA).
Clinical Profile of Acute Coronary Syndrome among Young AdultsPremier Publishers
Acute Coronary Syndrome accounts for 30% of hospital admissions with cardiovascular diseases. The risk of this syndrome is increasing among the younger adults, and a deep insight into the clinical profile among these patients will help in devising a preventive strategy, in order to alleviate the morbidity and mortality due to the syndrome. A cross sectional study was done among 125 subjects admitted to our tertiary care hospital with Acute Coronary Syndrome. Their risk factors were assessed and a 12 Lead electrocardiogram and 2D Echocardiogram were taken. Cardio III panel which consists of Troponin I, CK MB, BNP by COBAS meter machine was also measured. STEMI was present in 73.6% of the patients, while unstable angina was present in 16%. About 90% of STEMI patients were males and 62% of them were hypertensives. LV Ejection Fraction <30% was found in 9% of STEMI patients. This study elucidates the need for a preventive strategy for primordial prevention of cardiovascular events among young adults. The study envisaged the male, urban preponderance towards these events.

Authors: Hélder Dores, Carlos Aguiar, Jorge Ferreira, Jorge Mimoso, Sílvia Monteiro, Filipe Seixo, José Ferreira Santos, On behalf of Portuguese Registry on Acute Coronary Syndromes (ProACS) Investigators
The good news in resuscitation is that there have not been any new advances that mandate a change in practice since the 2016 ANZCOR Guidelines. The bad news is that despite our best intent, the ever-increasing research appears unable to demonstrate improved outcomes with any particular approach. Two of the most exciting areas (eCPR and post-resuscitation care) are being covered in detail at separate talks at this meeting. This presentation will focus on updating the audience on the more continuous approach to evidence evaluation, and the key recent publications that have made us at least re-evaluate our practices in BLS (including ventilation), ALS (including anti-arrhythmics) and peri-resuscitation care.

ANEMIA IS ASSOCIATED WITH GREATER MORBIDITY AND RESOURCE UTILIZATION IN PEDIA...Texas Children's Hospital
Design: Retrospective cohort study querying the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database, comprised of 50 children’s hospitals over 10 years (01/2008 to 12/2017).
Admissions of patients aged < 21 years (yr) with ICD-9/10 codes for systolic HF were included. Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) codes were excluded to avoid confounding by polycythemia due to cyanotic CHD.
Demographic and clinical features and procedures during admission reviewed using ICD-9/10 coding.
Outcomes: Primary outcome was composite cardiac death (CCD, defined as ventricular assist device (VAD), heart transplant (HTx), or death during admission), and the secondary outcomes were hospital length of stay (LOS) and billed charges.
Univariate and multivariable analyses performed using generalized estimating equations (GEE) for categorical outcomes and mixed modeling for continuous outcomes, to account for clustering by hospitals - factors with p<0.2 on univariate analysis included in the initial multivariable model, and factors with p<0.05 retained in successive models.
In a hospital admission of a pediatric patient with systolic HF without CHD, anemia is associated with more systemic comorbidities, and greater resource utilization (longer LOS and higher billed charges).
This suggests a need for examining anemia management strategies to optimize pediatric HF outcomes.

Relative Hyperoxia in cyanotic congenital heart disease on veno-arterial ECMO...Texas Children's Hospital
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an
established intervention for respiratory or cardiorespiratory
support in children with congenital heart disease (CHD)
when all other interventions have failed. Hyperoxia
following successful resuscitation has been associated with
increased mortality in pediatric and adult studies,
including, specifically, hyperoxia during ECMO
management. We hypothesized that this effect may be
pronounced in patients with lower arterial oxygen
saturation at baseline, such as those with cyanotic CHD. We
aimed to determine if relative hyperoxia in children with
cyanotic single ventricle circulation on Veno-Arterial (VA)-
ECMO is a risk factor for mortality in a large multicenter
registry analysis.
Ectopic atrial tachycardia (EAT) is one of the most common forms of persistent supraventricular tachycardia in children.
• EAT is due to increased automaticity of a non-sinus atrial focus, and when leIt untreated can cause tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, also known as tachycardiomyopathy (TCMP).
• EAT can be difficult to distinguish from sinus tachycardia depending on the location of the ectopic focus.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Background
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an idiopathic
cardiomyopathy characterized by heart failure secondary
to left ventricular systolic dysfunction, typically with an
ejection fraction <45%, occurring towards the end of
pregnancy or in the months following delivery for which no
other cause of heart failure is found.1 Rarely, catastrophic
presentations can occur with severe respiratory distress
and low cardiac output necessitating mechanical
ventilation and circulatory support. Data on the use of
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in PPCM is
limited. Little is known about the safety, efficacy, or
mortality. The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization
(ELSO) maintains an international registry of patients
treated with ECMO since 1989 and collects data from over
300 pediatric and adult centers. We sought to examine the
ELSO registry for PPCM patients treated with ECMO in
order to characterize demographic and clinical features,
complications, overall survival to discharge, and variables
associated with mortality.
Methods
This study was a retrospective review of patients
voluntarily entered into the ELSO registry by participating
centers. De-identified data was collected on patients with a
diagnosis of PPCM based on ICD-9/ICD-10 coding who
received ECMO between 2007 and 2016. Our primary
outcome measure was survival to hospital discharge. We
also collected data on demographics, pre-ECMO ventilation
and biochemical parameters, ECMO mode, duration and
complications. Categorical and dichotomous variables are
expressed as exact numbers with percentages, whereas
continuous variables are expressed as median with 25th-
75th interquartile ranges (IQR). Initial bivariate analyses
assessed potential association between survival and
ECMO-related variables. We used Fischer’s exact,
Pearson’s chi-square, and logistic regression. Statistical
analyses were carried out using JMP®.

46 patients met inclusion criteria. 2 patients were excluded
leaving 44 patients for the analysis. Overall survival to
discharge was 56.8% while 75.0% of patients were weaned
off ECMO. All patients had one ECMO run except for one
patient who had two. All patients were conventionally
ventilated.
Cardiovascular (52.3%), renal (36.4%), hemorrhagic
(34.1%), mechanical (25.0%), infectious (15.9%), metabolic
(15.9%), neurologic (11.4%), and pulmonary (9.1%)
complications were reported.
Pre- ECMO variables associated with decreased survival
included higher ventilation rate (p=0.03**, OR 0.88 [0.79-
0.98]) and support with vasopressor or inotropic agents
(p<0.01, OR 0.09 [0.01-0.82]). Decreased survival was also
observed in patients with ECMO cannula site bleeding
(p=0.02, OR 0.14 [0.02-0.83]).
Our review is the largest to date of PPCM patients
supported with ECMO. We identified factors associated
with mortality including pre-ECMO ventilation rate, pre-
ECMO support with vasopressors, and ECMO cannula site
bleeding. We believe our data supports the use of ECMO
in PPCM when clinically indicated.
