Complete 'anatomic' repair of transposition of the great arteries has now been achieved. The ideal timing of this surgery is during neonatal cardiovascular transition, when the fetal elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance is still present.

A new approach stemming from the adiabatic-connection (AC) formalism is proposed to derive parameter-free double-hybrid (DH) exchange-correlation functionals. It is based on a quadratic form that models the integrand of the coupling parameter, whose components are chosen to satisfy several well-known limiting conditions. Its integration leads to DHs containing a single parameter controlling the...

This preliminary report presents recent experience with the Senning operation for transposition of the great arteries. Reasons are given why the traditional Mustard procedure was abandoned in favour of the Senning operation. Technical details are presented and the advantages and disadvantages of the procedure are discussed.
