Risk Factors Related to the in-hospital Evolution of Patients with ST-segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome by Chen Shang, Héctor Pérez Assef, Marlene Ferrer Arrocha

“…It was found that the Killip Kimball III-IV classification had a strong association with an unfavorable evolution with an OR of 41.50 (p=0.000), followed by previous acute myocardial infarction OR of 3.25 (p=0.03).<br /> <strong>Conclusions:</strong> the Killip Kimball II-IV classification, the Grace scale of moderate to high risk, and creatinine values had a greater association with unfavorable in-hospital evolution.…”

SEMdag: Fast learning of Directed Acyclic Graphs via node or layer ordering. by Mario Grassi, Barbara Tarantino

“…We conducted a series of experiments using observed expression (or RNA-seq) data, taking into account a pair of training and testing datasets for four distinct diseases: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Breast cancer (BRCA), Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The results show that the SEMdag() procedure can recover a graph structure with good disease prediction performance evaluated by a conventional supervised learning algorithm (RF): in the scenario where the initial graph is sparse, the BU approach may be a better choice than the KB one; in the case where the graph is denser, both BU an KB report high performance, with highest score for KB approach based on topological layers. …”

Case Report: A case of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in a patient with a small aortic annulus using the Acurate Neo2 by Shahzil Abdur Rehman Malik, Jamshed Ali, Maleeha Javed, Kamran Hussain, Navaira Azeem, Nasir Rehman, Osman Faheem

“…We present the case of an 80-year-old woman with a small aortic annulus who underwent TAVR using a self-expanding transcatheter heart valve Acurate Neo2 after an non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) presentation. These risks, combined with advanced age, significant co-morbidities, and a severely calcified small aortic annulus, supported the choice of TAVR with a self-expanding Acurate Neo2 valve. …”
