Article Abstract

Small patella syndrome presents with small or absent patellae and may result in pulmonary arterial hypertension, typically in children. A pathogenic canonical splice site variant, c.1021+1G>A in the T-box transcription factor 4 () gene, currently not included in commercial gene panel, was detected in an adult with pulmonary arterial hypertension and absent patellae. .

Objectives: To quantify intraoperative pulmonary arterial catheter (PAC) use during cardiac surgery and identify hospital-, anesthesiologist-, and patient-level factors associated with PAC utilization.

Design: A cross-sectional, observational study using generalized logistic mixed models to examine variations in PAC use.

Setting: Fifty-three US academic hospitals participating in the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group (MPOG) national registry PARTICIPANTS: 145,343 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2022.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension is associated with cardiovascular events, but when assessed at rest, it has limited sensitivity. Pulmonary vascular reserve can be assessed noninvasively using exercise echocardiography, but this has not been studied in adults with coarctation of aorta (COA). We hypothesized that adults with COA had worse pulmonary vascular reserve compared to controls, and that impaired pulmonary vascular reserve was associated with clinical indices of disease severity independent right ventricular (RV) indices at rest.

Background: Disseminated cancer can complicate the decision-making for major surgery, as patients can be poor surgical candidates and have potentially limited life expectancy. This study aimed to evaluate the 30-day postoperative outcomes of infrainguinal bypass in patients with disseminated cancer using a large-scale national database.

Methods: Adult patients with and without disseminated cancer who underwent infrainguinal bypass were identified in the ACS-NSQIP database from 2011-2023.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare but serious disease that poses a significant threat to patients' quality of life and life expectancy. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a widely used chemical that, due to its toxicity, persistence, and bioaccumulation properties, may increase the risk of developing PAH with prolonged exposure. This study investigated the molecular mechanisms linking PFOS exposure to PAH by integrating network toxicology and molecular docking methods.
