Transient Ischemic Attack in a 22-Year-Old NCAA Division I Baseball Athlete: A Case Study
CONCLUSIONS: Due to the emergent and timely actions of the athletic trainer, the patient has made a full recovery and is able to compete fully in athletic events. This case study amplifies the need for athletic trainers at all sporting events, updated and reviewed emergency action plans, rapid recognition of TIA in athletic individuals, and return-to-play protocol for an athletic individual after TIA.PMID:37917975 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0153 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Association between Covid-19 infection and platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome
CONCLUSION: Persistent dyspnoea and hypoxia are common symptoms in patients who experience post-Covid-19 syndrome. However, when patients with prior moderate-to-severe Covid-19 illness present with new onset breathlessness and/or desaturation that is worsened in an upright position, platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome should be considered.PMID:37915703 | PMC:PMC10617842 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001383 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Syndromic Piere Robbin Sequence- A Rare Presentation in Association with Multiple Heart Defects and Type III Stickler Syndrome
AbstractPierre Robin Sequence (PRS), a rare congenital disorder, is a triad of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and tongue based airway obstruction (TBSO). It may occur as isolated anomaly (iPRS) or as a part of a syndrome (sPRS), like that seen in association with Stickler Syndrome. Approximately 20% of children with PRS have congenital heart diseases. To the best of our knowledge this case of a one-day old infant is the first one to be reported as having two heart defects; patent ductus arteriosus and patent foramen ovale in Pierre Robbin Sequence child.

Assessment of Bi-Atrial Mechanical Function in Patients with Isolated Atrial Septal Aneurysm
CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that bi-atrial function are diminished in patients with isolated ASA. This may be a possible cause for the increased risk of arterial embolism in this patient group, aside from atrial arrhythmias and patent foramen ovale. Validating these results with larger studies may influence the treatment and follow-up strategies for patients with isolated ASA.PMID:37902033 | DOI:10.5543/tkda.2023.87922 (Source: Turk Kardiyoloji Dernegi arsivi)

The utility of routine systematic respiratory assessment following initial management of acute pulmonary embolism
Conclusions: 11% of patients had significant alterations made to their management. The incidence of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension was similar when compared to that identified in published reports from tertiary centres1,2.References:1.Tapson VF et al.

Patent Foramen Ovale-Related Hypoxemia After Bilateral Lung Transplant
Tex Heart Inst J. 2023 Oct 20;50(5):e238229. doi: 10.14503/THIJ-23-8229.ABSTRACTA 64-year-old man with interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and a small patent foramen ovale with right-to-left shunting underwent bilateral lung transplant without closure of the patent foramen ovale. Postoperatively, the patient remained persistently hypoxemic with partial response to high-flow oxygen. Investigations revealed the presence of a large patent foramen ovale with right-to-left shunting on echocardiography and a shunt fraction of 21% on cardiac catheterization. Two months after the lung transplantation, primary surgical repair of the pa...

Comparison of three echo-guidance techniques in percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure for stroke prevention: Conventional transoesophageal, microprobe transoesophageal and intracardiac echocardiography
CONCLUSION: Our preliminary real-world experience suggests good efficacy and safety with intracardiac echocardiography and microprobe transoesophageal echocardiography guidance compared with conventional transoesophageal echocardiography guidance for percutaneous transcatheter patent foramen ovale closure in recurrent stroke prevention.PMID:37838576 | DOI:10.1016/j.acvd.2023.08.006 (Source: Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases)
