The retrograde crossing of a severely stenotic aortic valve (AV) is a crucial step in the course of the transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure. Crossing the valve can be time-consuming, and it can substantially increase the risk of cerebral embolism. Omran et al. (1) reported a 22% rate of focal diffusion-imaging abnormalities onmagnetic resonance imaging in patien...

By the mid-1990s, it had become something of a citation classic and was understood as a theoretical statement about the shift from infectious to chronic diseases that supposedly accompanies modernization. However, Omran himself was not directly concerned with the rise of chronic disease; his theory was...

Introduction: Blood safety presents a serious challenge in Egypt, having the highest prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of blood donor recruitment strategies, the seroprevalence of positive infectious markers among volunteer donors (VD) and family replacement donors (RD) at a University Hospital Blood Bank was studied.
