Frozen Elephant Trunk for Acute Type B Dissection Involving the Distal Arch in the Hybrid Repair Era
ConclusionsOpen repair of ATBAD with distal aortic arch involvement using the frozen elephant trunk procedure with LSCA-LCCA transposition obtained satisfactory outcomes. Avoidance of complications using hybrid repair, good postoperative recovery, and a low prevalence of late reintervention were achieved. The satisfactory results favored this technique for this lesion in this hybrid repair era.

Frozen Elephant Trunk for Acute Type B Dissection Involving the Distal Arch in the Hybrid Repair Era.
CONCLUSIONS: Open repair of ATBAD with distal aortic arch involvement using the FET procedure with LSCA-LCCA transposition obtained satisfactory outcomes. Avoidance of complications using hybrid repair, good postoperative recovery, and a low prevalence of late reintervention were achieved. The satisfactory results favored this technique for this lesion in this hybrid repair era. PMID: 29750927 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cardiovascular involvement in celiac disease.
Abstract Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune response to ingestion of gluten protein, which is found in wheat, rye, and barley grains, and results in both small intestinal manifestations, including villous atrophy, as well as systemic manifestations. The main treatment for the disease is a gluten-free diet (GFD), which typically results in the restoration of the small intestinal villi, and restoration of other affected organ systems, to their normal functioning. In an increasing number of recently published studies, there has been great interest in the occurrence of alterations in the cardiovascular system in unt...

Endocrine Disruptors and Health Effects in Africa: A Call for Action
Conclusion: To address the many challenges posed by EDCs, we argue that Africans should take the lead in prioritization and evaluation of environmental hazards, including EDCs. We recommend the institution of education and training programs for chemical users, adoption of the precautionary principle, establishment of biomonitoring programs, and funding of community-based epidemiology and wildlife research programs led and funded by African institutes and private companies. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1774 Received: 16 February 2017 Revised: 22 May 2017 Accepted: 24 May 2017 Published: 22 August 2017 Address correspond...

Plasma Glycoproteomic Study of Therapeutic Hypothermia Reveals Novel Markers Predicting Neurologic Outcome Post-cardiac Arrest
AbstractTherapeutic hypothermia (TH) is a neuroprotective treatment post-cardiac arrest but is grossly underutilized. After TH induction, traditional biomarkers and parameters can no long predict clinical outcome due to a lack of understanding of hypothermic response. Innovative approaches to better understand the clinical effect of TH will help to prognosticate outcome and expand beneficial population. Protein glycosylation is an important extracellular post-translational modification, regulating various extracellular signaling pathways. Here, we used glycoproteomics to investigate the association of plasma glycoproteins ...
