Predictive Value of the Mehran Score for Contrast-Induced Nephropathy after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients with Aortic Stenosis.

BACKGROUND/AIMS The Mehran risk score (MS) was adopted to predict the development of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and includes clinical and procedural variables. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the value of MS in the prediction of CIN development after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). METHODS Ninety-three patients (47 females; mean age, 77.2 ± 7.6 years) who underwent...

iPS Cells 10 Years Later

In 2006, Takahashi and Yamanaka reported the breakthrough discovery of induction of pluripotent stem cells from fibroblasts by a combination of defined factors. Ten years later, Cell editor João Monteiro brings together Shinya Yamanaka and Hans Schöler, one the original reviewers of the landmark study, to revisit the history behind the paper and its long-lasting legacy.
