Article Abstract

An 87-year-old woman with a history of trastuzumab-induced left ventricular dysfunction underwent the MitraClip (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California) procedure for myxomatous mitral regurgitation. She presented a month later with severe intravascular hemolytic anemia, attributed to the MitraClip. She underwent surgical mitral valve replacement and had resolution of hemolysis. ().

Background: Vaccination is a key strategy to reduce infectious disease mortality. In pediatric heart transplant recipients (HTRs), the use of immunosuppressive therapy weakens immune responses, increasing the risk of viral infections. This study aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity of hepatitis B virus (HBV) revaccination in this vulnerable population.

Background: Improving efficiency and reducing turnaround time are crucial in clinical laboratories. While automated analyzers such as the Beckman Coulter DxH 900 streamline workflow, subtle abnormalities like blasts and immature granulocytes (IGs) may be missed, especially in the absence of WBC-related suspect messages. This study evaluated whether integrating cell population data (CPD) with instrument messages could enhance detection accuracy.

Current treatments for narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) have little impact on psychiatric, cognitive and metabolic comorbidities. Here, we evaluated the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a prospective Exercise Training (ET) program on sleep-related symptoms and comorbidities in NT1. Sedentary adult with NT1 participated in a 6-week supervised ET program followed by a 18-week self-directed program.

In the past decades, several authors have investigated the possibility that genome size is correlated with metabolic rates, obtaining conflicting results. The main biological explanation among the supporters of this correlation was related to the nucleotypic effect of the genome size, which, determining the cellular volume and hence the surface area-to-volume ratio, influences cellular metabolism. In the present study, I tested a different hypothesis: genome size, influencing red blood cell (RBC) volume, is correlated with capillary density and diameter.
