When does life end? New organ donation strategy fuels debate
On a chilly holiday Monday in January 2020, a medical milestone passed largely unnoticed. In a New York City operating room, surgeons gently removed the heart from a 43-year-old man who had died and shuttled it steps away to a patient in desperate need of a new one. More than 3500 people in the United States receive a new heart each year. But this case was different—the first of its kind in the country. “It took us 6 months to prepare,” says Nader Moazami, surgical head of heart transplantation at New York University (NYU) Langone Health, where the operation took place. The run-up included oversight from an ethi...

Erectile Dysfunction Associated With Use of E-Cigarettes, Report Finds
This study highlights a novel finding that ENDS use could have serious implications on men’s se xual health.”El-Shahawy and colleagues analyzed data collected from December 2016 to January 2018 as part of thePopulation Assessment of Tobacco or Health (PATH) study —a national longitudinal study of tobacco use and how it affects the health of people in the United States. The researchers specifically focused on male participants 20 years and older who responded to questions about erectile dysfunction; their use of ENDS; current or past history of smoking; and previous diagnoses of diabetes, hypertension, high cholestero...

‘I Truly Did Find My Calling.’ Meet the Young People Shaping Health Care’s Post-Pandemic Future
The COVID-19 pandemic has been exhausting for the world’s health care workers, who have spent the last year-plus putting their lives on the line to keep the rest of us safe and healthy. Now, their tireless efforts are inspiring a new generation to join their ranks: applications to U.S. medical schools shot up nearly 20% in fall 2021, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges. Individual schools are reporting similar spikes—New York University’s Rory Meyers College of Nursing saw a 33% increase in applications this year over the previous year, for instance. To learn more about the people wh...

Comparison of the Effect of Atrial Fibrillation Detection Algorithms in Patients with Cryptogenic Stroke Using Implantable Loop Recorders
Occult atrial fibrillation (AF) can be the underlying cause for cryptogenic stroke (CS). Implantable loop recorders (ILRs) have become an important tool for long-term arrhythmia monitoring in CS patients. Office-based ILR implantation by non-electrophysiologist physicians is increasingly common. To report the real world diagnostic yield and accuracy of remote ILR monitoring in high risk CS patients, we retrospectively analyzed 145 consecutive patients with CS who underwent ILR implantation between October 2014 and October 2018 at New York University Langone Health.

Medtronic Gives Heart Docs Something to & #039;MARVEL & #039; At
Study results published this week in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Clinical Electrophysiology show that an investigational set of algorithms in Medtronic's Micra transcatheter pacing system (TPS) significantly improves synchrony and cardiac function in patients with impaired electrical conduction between the chambers of the heart, a condition called atrioventricular (AV) block. The results from the MARVEL 2 study are expected to be presented Nov. 16 at the American Heart Association's annual scientific sessions. Medtronic said that based on positive results from both...

The Predictive Capacity of the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test After Sport-Related Concussion in Adolescents
Conclusion This study found that the ΔHR (HRt minus resting HR) correlated with duration of clinical recovery in participants who were prescribed relative rest or a placebo-stretching program but not for participants prescribed sub-threshold aerobic exercise. A ΔHR of ≤50 bpm on the BCTT was 73% sensitive and 78% specific for predicting delayed recovery in concussed adolescents prescribed the current standard of care (i.e., cognitive and physical rest). This has implications for planning team and school activities in adolescents who sustain SRC. Ethics Statement This study was carried out in acco...

Functional MRI of Letter Cancellation Task Performance in Older Adults
Conclusion The present work is the first to identify neural correlates of the LCT using fMRI and tablet technology in a healthy aging population. Across all ages, the activation was found to be bilateral, including in the cerebellum, superior temporal lobe, precentral gyrus, frontal gyrus, and various occipital and parietal areas. With increasing age, performance generally decreased and brain activity was reduced in the supplementary motor area, middle and inferior frontal gyrus, middle occipital gyrus, putamen and cerebellum. Better LCT performance was correlated with increased activity in the middle frontal gyrus, and r...

Hispanic individuals benefit from skills-based stroke prevention intervention
(New York University) A culturally tailored program used when discharging stroke patients from the hospital helped to lower blood pressure among Hispanic individuals one year later, finds a new study led by researchers at NYU College of Global Public Health. The almost 10 mm Hg reduction in systolic blood pressure measured in this study has been linked to a nearly 40-percent reduction in the risk of having another stroke in previous studies.

Report: Extra insights, but no clear-cut answers from TAVR embolic protection studies
Data from two new studies has provided extra insights, but no clear-cut solution for predicting stroke and which patients should receive embolic protection devices during transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedures, according to a new Medscape report. Results from a meta-analysis of 1,285 patients indicated that the use of embolic protection devices during TAVR procedures did not reduce mortality, but was associated with a lowered rate of stroke at 30 days, according to the report. The decline was mainly driven by registry data and was not confirmed by randomized controlled trials, Medscape specified. Stroke was repo...

Urine Arsenic and Arsenic Metabolites in U.S. Adults and Biomarkers of Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Endothelial Dysfunction: A Cross-Sectional Study
Conclusion: In a cross-sectional study of U.S. adults, we observed some positive associations of uAs and toenail As concentrations with biomarkers potentially relevant to CVD pathogenesis and inflammation, and evidence of a higher capacity to metabolize inorganic As was negatively associated with a marker of oxidative stress. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP2062 Received: 14 April 2017 Revised: 13 November 2017 Accepted: 15 November 2017 Published: 15 December 2017 Address correspondence to S.F.
