Article Abstract
Heart failure (HF) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with acute HF (AHF) or cardiogenic shock requiring rapid intervention to prevent fatal outcomes. Advances in temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) devices have revolutionized the management of advanced HF, offering temporary, durable, and individualized support options. This manuscript reviews the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of AHF, the role of multi-disciplinary Heart Teams, and the growing importance of structured care networks in managing complex cases of HF. We explore the strategic deployment of tMCS in acute settings, device options, implications for patient outcomes, and current challenges in the field. This manuscript emphasizes the importance of team-based approaches and underscores the potential of tMCS devices in stabilizing patient haemodynamics, bridging to recovery or definitive therapy, and improving survival in patients facing high-risk HF.

Patients with atrial fibrillation, venous thrombosis, and mechanical heart valve (MHV) regularly undergo procedures on a daily basis, for which they require bridging anticoagulation, but this poses significant challenges. Bridging anticoagulation involves temporary interruption of long-term anticoagulation therapy for procedures and continued overlap with short-acting anticoagulants during perioperative period. Heparin-based agents are often used for overlapping in perioperative period to reduce the risk of thromboembolism, but the evidence for benefit particularly in patients with MHV remains limited.

Rationale: Mental and behavioral abnormalities are difficult neurological conditions, and the site of the lesion may involve the basal ganglia. Its etiology is varied and requires a detailed differential diagnosis.
Patient Concerns: An 81-year-old woman had a history of "cerebral infarction" for 5 years.

Background: Patients with end-stage heart failure and chronic kidney disease requiring dual-organ transplantation (DOT) face significant challenges in utilizing durable mechanical circulatory support due to the risks associated with renal replacement therapies (RRTs) and multi-organ failure. Given the limited options available for long-term support in this patient population, there remains a critical need for alternative strategies to optimize end-organ function and bridge patients safely to transplant. With prolonged waitlist times for DOT, we present our experience with the Impella 5.

Hyperdivergent skeletal Class II malocclusion is largely genetically determined and poses significant challenges in orthodontic treatment, particularly due to compromised facial aesthetics, reduced bite force and airway narrowing. Traditionally, orthognathic surgery has been the standard treatment for correcting such skeletal discrepancies. However, the advent of temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) has expanded the possibilities for orthodontic camouflage by allowing effective vertical control.

Resorbable implants are increasingly used in orbital wall fracture reconstruction because of their ability to provide temporary structural support without the long-term complications associated with permanent materials. However, the long-term effects of implant resorption on orbital morphology are unclear. This retrospective study evaluated volumetric changes over time following reconstruction using 2 types of resorbable plates: uncalcined hydroxyapatite/poly-L-lactic acid (u-HA/PLLA) and poly-L-lactic acid/polyglycolic acid (PLLA/PGA).
