MRI for all: Cheap portable scanners aim to revolutionize medical imaging
.news-article__hero--featured .parallax__element{ object-position: 47% 50%; -o-object-position: 47% 50%; } The patient, a man in his 70s with a shock of silver hair, lies in the neuro intensive care unit (neuro ICU) at Yale New Haven Hospital. Looking at him, you’d never know that a few days earlier a tumor was removed from his pituitary gland. The operation didn’t leave a mark because, as is standard, surgeons reached the tumor through his nose. He chats cheerfully with a pair of research associates who have come to check his progress with a new and potentially revolutionary device they are testing. The cylind...

Stem Cells for Cell-Based Therapies
The world of stem cells We know the human body comprises many cell types (e.g., blood cells, skin cells, cervical cells), but we often forget to appreciate that all of these different cell types arose from a single cell—the fertilized egg. A host of sequential, awe-inspiring events occur between the fertilization of an egg and the formation of a new individual: Embryonic stem (ES) cells are also called totipotent cells. The first steps involve making more cells by simple cell division: one cell becomes two cells; two cells become four cells, etc. Each cell of early development is undifferentiated; that is, it is...

Freedom in waiting: A ventricular assist device gives Aidan’s family independence
Aidan When Aidan was just 8 months old, his parents Patrick and Tavina received shocking news—their son had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a rare but serious disease that affects the muscle of the heart. Given his young age and severity of his condition, the early prognosis was bleak. “Things didn’t look good at first,” remembers Patrick. “We were steeling ourselves for the real possibility that Aidan wouldn’t make it to see his first birthday.” But, heart condition or not, little Aidan was a fighter, and with minimal medical management his condition stabilized. Over the years, he grew ...

Impact of concurrent surgical valve procedures in patients receiving continuous-flow devices
Conclusions: Patients frequently require concurrent VPs at the time of LVAD placement; these patients are sicker and have higher early mortality. Furthermore, right ventricular dysfunction is increased in these patients. Further studies to develop selection criteria for concurrent valve interventions are important to further improve clinical outcomes.

Ferric carboxymaltose in patients with iron-deficiency anemia and impaired renal function: the REPAIR-IDA trial
Conclusions Two 750-mg infusions of FCM are a safe and effective alternative to multiple lower dose iron sucrose infusions in NDD-CKD patients with iron-deficiency anemia.

RNase A in (Xeno)Transplantation
ConclusionsRNase A significantly improved graft survival. On the basis of these sweeping results, however, we suppose that RNase A could be an important adjuvant drug not only in allotransplantation but even in xenotransplantation.

Late Cardiovascular Complications after Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
Abstract: The authors sought to better understand the combined effects of pretransplant, transplant, and post-transplant factors in determining risks of serious cardiovascular disease after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Hospitalizations and deaths associated with serious cardiovascular outcomes were identified among 1379 Washington State residents who received HCT (57% allogeneic and 43% autologous) at a single center from 1985 to 2005, survived ≥ 2 years, and followed through 2008. Using a nested case-cohort design, relationships (hazard ratios [HRs]) between potential risk factors and outcomes were examined...

Extending the role of peritoneal dialysis: can we win hearts and minds?
Conclusion Both these applications require substantial further clinical evaluation before they can justify wider adoption but their potential to alleviate morbidity on a large and potentially highly cost-effective scale demands further study.

Pretransplant and perioperative predictors of early heart transplantation outcomes.
Conclusion. Pretransplant predictors of adverse outcome after heart transplantation were recipient age, lower BMI, ischemic cardiomyopathy, reoperation and diabetes. Postoperative predictors of mortality were inferior donor heart hemodynamics, epinephrine use, and serum lactate concentrations. Non-survivors were more likely to require re-sternotomy, MCS, and RRT.

Post-heart transplantation outcome of HeartMate II-bridged recipients requiring unplanned concomitant temporary right ventricular mechanical support
CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrate that heart transplant recipients who required unplanned RV mechanical support after LVAD implantation achieved comparable rates of early graft loss, post-transplant renal failure and stroke rate in comparison with patients bridged with an isolated HeartMate II assist device. Three-year graft survival was equivalent between those two groups. Given the small sample size, further studies involving more patients are needed to support or challenge our conclusions.
