Article Abstract
Objective: Increased negative moods such as anxiety, depression and fear of recurrence of cardiac events after a cardiac event, make it difficult to comply with lifestyle recommendations and drug therapy. Conducting screenings for cardiac distress and ensuring appropriate referrals are made constitute a crucial aspect of maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-illness. The Cardiac Distress Inventory has made it possible to assess cardiac patients psychologically and emotionally. The objective of this study was to provide a validity and reliability assessment of the original form Cardiac Distress Inventory (CDI) and short form (CDI-SF), in Turkish.
Method: The inventory was administered face to face to a total of 417 participants (336 CDI/81 CDI-SF) who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome and volunteered to participate in the study. Validity data was assessed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Rasch, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), reliability by McDonald's Omega (ω), Pearson correlation coefficient and discriminability by Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.
Results: The two CDI were a high level of reliability. The factor structure and factor loadings of the CDI were not compatible with the original. The goodness of fit estimated by validity (CFA-EFA) was also not confirmed. The values of RMSEA, χ2/df and CFI indices suggest that it is not suitable for Türkiye. However, in the cross-cultural adaptation, validity and reliability study of the CDI-SF, it was concluded that the construct validity and internal consistency were high and could be used as a unidimensional scale. The inventory will be made freely available to clinicians and researchers.
Conclusion: CDI-SF provides a specific, pragmatic and reliable measurement of cardiac distress, adapted to common heart diseases. It serves as an effective screening tool in cardiac clinical management by demonstrating strong psychometric properties.

Clinical and Surgical Perspectives on Isolated Thoracic Ectopia Cordis: A Rare Case Report.

Ectopia cordis is an exceptionally uncommon congenital condition where the heart develops outside its normal position due to incomplete closure of the ventral chest wall during embryogenesis. The anomaly may occur in isolation or with other structural defects, often resulting in a poor prognosis despite advancements in medical and surgical care. This report discusses a preterm neonate delivered at 33 weeks of gestation following an uneventful pregnancy in a dizygotic twin gestation.

Background: Coagulation disorders are potentially one of the most important pathogeneses of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). This study aimed to determine whether aortic dissection singularly and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery can activate coagulation pathways, promoting ARDS development in patients with ATAAD.
Methods: A total of 450 patients who received treatment at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, between March 2023 and February 2024 were consecutively enrolled in this prospective cohort study.

Background: Dissociative disorders frequently co-occur with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet many individuals lack adequate treatment. Existing interventions often prioritise reducing arousal over promoting safety and self-soothing, tending to neglect the bodily experience.
Aims: This randomised clinical within-person pilot study examined the effects of the nest position, a physiotherapeutic intervention designed to enhance safety and self-soothing, on patients with dissociative disorders and healthy controls (German Clinical Trials Register No.

Background: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The feasibility and effectiveness of bovine versus porcine surfactants via less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) remain unstudied in LMICs. We compared clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of BLES versus poractant alfa in preterm infants with RDS managed with LISA.
