Article Abstract
Background: The optimal access route in patients with severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains undetermined.
Objectives: This study sought to compare clinical outcomes with transfemoral access (TFA), transthoracic access (TTA), and nonthoracic transalternative access (TAA) in TAVR patients with severe PAD.
Methods: Patients with PAD and hostile femoral access (TFA impossible, or possible only after percutaneous treatment) undergoing TAVR at 28 international centers were included in this registry. The primary endpoint was the propensity-adjusted risk of 30-day major adverse events (MAE) defined as the composite of all-cause mortality, stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA), or main access site-related Valve Academic Research Consortium 3 major vascular complications. Outcomes were also stratified according to the severity of PAD using a novel risk score (Hostile score).
Results: Among the 1,707 patients included in the registry, 518 (30.3%) underwent TAVR with TFA after percutaneous treatment, 642 (37.6%) with TTA, and 547 (32.0%) with TAA (mostly transaxillary). Compared with TTA, both TFA (adjusted HR: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.45-0.75) and TAA (adjusted HR: 0.60; 95% CI: 0.47-0.78) were associated with lower 30-day rates of MAE, driven by fewer access site-related complications. Composite risks at 1 year were also lower with TFA and TAA compared with TTA. TFA compared with TAA was associated with lower 1-year risk of stroke/TIA (adjusted HR: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.24-0.98), a finding confined to patients with low Hostile scores (P = 0.049).
Conclusions: Among patients with PAD undergoing TAVR, both TFA and TAA were associated with lower 30-day and 1-year rates of MAE compared with TTA, but 1-year stroke/TIA rates were higher with TAA compared with TFA.

It has become evident from decades of clinical trials that multimodal therapeutic approaches with focus on cell intrinsic and microenvironmental cues are needed to improve understanding and treat the rare, inoperable, and ultimately fatal diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), now categorized as a diffuse midline glioma. In this study we report the development and characterization of an in vitro system utilizing 3D Tumor Tissue Analogs (TTA), designed to replicate the intricate DIPG microenvironment. The innate ability of fluorescently labeled human brain endothelial cells, microglia, and patient-derived DIPG cell lines to self-assemble has been exploited to generate multicellular 3D TTAs that mimic tissue-like microstructures, enabling an in- depth exploration of the spatio-temporal dynamics between neoplastic and stromal cells.

The impact of a febrile neutropenia (FN) emergency department (ED) triage screening tool and protocol on time to antibiotic administration (TTA) and patient outcomes was evaluated. This was a retrospective, quasi-experimental study of adult FN patients admitted through the ED from April 2014 to April 2017. In March 2016 a triage screening tool and protocol were implemented.

The demand for dried starter cultures that are specific to indigenous fermented food products is increasing. In most cases, skim milk (SM) powder is used as a cryoprotectant for microbial cell protection during the preparation of starter cultures. However, the extent of cell protection during freeze-drying and the fermentation efficacy of dried cultures are dependent on the type of microbial strain and carrier media, hence the need to investigate the protective effects of alternative carrier media.

Railway catenary system inspection is a critical task where high accuracy and reliability are essential to ensure operational efficiency and safety. This objective is achieved by assessing the technical condition of the infrastructure and maintaining a comprehensive inventory of its components. The application of machine learning methods to this problem is non-trivial, due to various constraints, including the cost of data acquisition.

Objective: To retrospectively evaluate and compare the impacts of UKA, HTO, and DFO on hip-knee-ankle alignment in KOA patients, providing evidence for personalized surgical strategy formulation. We hypothesized that these procedures would exert differential effects on specific alignment parameters.
