Ross, MD, MHSc, Ana Carolina Alba, MD, PhD, Natasha Aleksova, MD, MSc

“…Background: Severe primary graft dysfunction (PGD) after heart transplantation (HT) is a major cause of death and requires veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis including studies of adult HT recipients who required VA-ECMO for PGD to determine whether a peripheral or central configuration was associated with higher mortality. …”

Brain plasticity associated with prolonged shooting training: a multimodal neuroimaging investigation from a cross-sectional study by Keying Zhang, Tao Zhao, Yu Ding, Jia Cheng, Chunmei Cao

“…BackgroundAlthough training has been recognized as a potential contributor to neuroplasticity in athletes, the impact of prolonged shooting training on human brain plasticity remains unclear in the existing literature.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, we used a multimodal neuroimaging analysis, including the analysis of functional blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, structural T1-weighted MRI images, and diffusion MRI images, to systematically identify differences between elite shooters and normal controls.ResultsThe results showed that compared to male normal controls, male elite shooters had higher regional homogeneity (ReHo) in the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, precuneus, thalamus, and cingulate gyrus, as well as higher functional connectivity between the medial frontal cortex (MedFC) and temporooccipital middle temporal gyrus (toMTG). …”

Safety of Colonoscopies in Patients on Advanced Heart Failure Therapies Who Received a Heart Transplant by Zaid Ansari, Akram Ahmad, Osama Sharjeel Khan, Vuha Reddi, Fernando Castro

“…Advanced heart failure therapies were defined as requiring inotropes (milrinone or dobutamine), vasopressors (norepinephrine or vasopressin), or MCS such as an impella, left ventricular assist device (LVAD), intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP), or extra‐corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Indications for colonoscopy, adequacy of bowel preparation, and complications were reported. …”
