We report a case of slowly progressive Becker’s muscular dystrophy in a 52-year-old man who required cardiac transplantation for
intractable congestive heart failure. A referral was made concerning prognosis of his muscular dystrophy in the multidisciplinary
approach to transplant. A review of the literature provides limited guidance on cardiac transplantation in patients with muscular
dystrophy although this procedure appears to be well-tolerated in
those with Becker’s muscular dystrophy. Formal assessments and
neuromuscular follow-up have not been clearly documented in patients having cardiac transplantation, and robust clinical evidence
or guidance in this area is lacking.

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.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Worsening HF and How to Recognize It?

Disclosures
3. •What is worsening HF (and do we really need another
term in HF)?
•Should patients with worsening HF receive different
therapies?
Objectives
5. • Do we really need another term in HF?
• Escalating HF signs or symptoms in patients with chronic HF despite
previously stable therapy + requires an urgent escalation of care
– should not be defined by need for hospital-based care
• Other names: Persistent HF, Stage C2 HF, Severe HF

6. Stage C HFPossible Categories
Modified from Bozkurt B et al. JACC Heart Fail. 2024 Mar;12(3):595-598
- HF in Remission
- Improving HF
- Severe/Worsening HF (10-25%?)
--insufficient response to foundational therapy aka
“standard GDMT”
--persistent congestion +/- frequent hosps
or
--symptoms, arrhythmia burden, biomarkers,
imaging, ↓ exercise performance, and/or
hemodynamics
What about discordant data?
8. Now What?
2. Ensure Adequate Foundational Therapy
--HFrEF: ARNI, BB, MRA, SGLT2i
--HFmrEF/HFpEF: SGLT2i, ?MRA, ?ARNI
Modified from Bozkurt B et al. JACC Heart Fail. 2023 Jun;11(6):729-732
3. Adjunctive Therapies by a Specialist
• Better decongestion?
• Cardiac rehab
• Ivabradine
• Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators
• Hydralazine/nitrates
• maybe digoxin
• IV iron
• Atrial fibrillation
• Treat other comorbid conditions (e.g., sleep apnea)
• Valvular disease (TV and MV)
• Cardiac resynchronization therapy
• CardioMEMS and disease management
• Barostim and cardiac contractility modulation
• Investigational therapies
1. Identify Severe/Worsening HF
--insufficient response to foundational therapy
--persistent congestion +/- frequent hospitalizations
--symptoms, biomarkers, ↓ exercise performance,
and/or abnormal hemodynamics
4. Evaluate Response to Therapy
--Perhaps we delay advanced HF therapies
but maintain extreme paranoia
9. What is Needed?
• Improved characterization of a patient’s HF status (ID worsening HF)
-terminology for patients who have progressed beyond early-stage C HF
-an advanced HFpEF phenotype
• Clinical trials of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments in
participants with severe HF
-infrastructure necessary for rapidly identifying appropriate participants
-data on medical therapy and devices
• New ways to teach & deliver specialty HF care outside of transplant
and LVAD centers to address inequities in care
10. Worsening HF: Escalating HF signs or symptoms in patients with
chronic HF despite previously stable therapy + requires urgent care
Recognized by: Symptomatic nonresponse, functional nonresponse,
cardiac function/structural nonresponse, biomarker nonresponse
Treatment: Important role for specialty care and adjunctive therapies
Conclusions
Likely a new stage/progression of disease
Emphasizes trajectory and risk
Categories are too broad (identifying risk, billing, treatments, and research)
Large variations in hospitalization rates across different regions have been documented, in part determined by nonclinical and nonbiological factors such as the availability of outpatient care options or financial disincentives of hospitalizations, and caregiver support, rather than the true severity of the disease.
Location of care likely underreports burden and risk
