The SynCardia(™) total artificial heart (TAH) is the only FDA-approved TAH in the world. The SynCardia(™) TAH is a pneumatically driven, pulsatile system capable of flows of >9L/min. The TAH is indicated for use as a bridge to transplantation (BTT) in patients at imminent risk of death from non-reversible bi-ventricular failure. In the Pivotal US approval trial the TAH achieved a BTT rate of >7...

Microcytosis is decrease of red blood cells (RBCs) size. The RBCs size is measured by the mean corpuscular volume (MCV). In the children, MCV varies by age and sex and so it must be always compared with sex and age-based norms. A MCV less than the 5 percentile defines the children microcytosis . The most frequent causes of microcytosis are iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and haemoglobinopathies [...

Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) for Destination Therapy (DT) is an established therapy for end stage heart failure patients who are not transplant candidates. Many DT patients requiring LVADs have had prior open heart surgery, the majority of whom had prior sternotomy. In addition, DT patients tend to be older and more likely to have more significant co-morbidities than their Bridge-To-Tr...

PurposeThe number of patients undergoing heart transplantation (HT) after a previous sternotomy or LVAD support is increasing. We sought to identify differences in HT outcomes among different preoperative categories patients.MethodsWe reviewed records 266 consecutive who underwent from 10/31/12 10/15/20. Patients had and kidney transplantation, re-transplantation, total artificial were excluded...

Background: Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is a common neurosensory manifestation in long COVID. An effective and safe treatment against COVID-19-related OD needed. Methods: This pilot trial recruited COVID patients with persistent OD. Participants were randomly assigned to receive short-course (14 days) oral vitamin A (VitA; 25,000 IU per day) aerosolised diffuser olfactory training (OT) thrice da...
