Comparative efficacy and safety of antiemetics for pediatric gastroenteritis-related vomiting in emergency departments: a network meta-analysis

Background Vomiting is a leading cause of emergency department (ED) visits among children with acute gastroenteritis (AGE). Although antiemetics are commonly used, uncertainty persists regarding the comparative efficacy and safety of individual agents across clinically relevant t...

Role of aerobic exercise training on myocardial infarction induced-cardiac dysfunction, dysautonomia and oxidative stress in female ob/ob mice.

We investigated the effects of aerobic exercise training (ET) on cardiac function, autonomic modulation, and inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in an experimental model of diabetes and obesity underwent myocardial infarction (MI). Female ob/ob mice were randomized into: sh...

Unveiling the Healthcare Journey of Patients with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: From Birth to Adulthood

Objective While many studies view patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) through the lens of financial burden, an overall sense of the medical burden of these patients has rarely been reported. We sought to introduce a granular analysis of the medical burden of pati...

Large submitral left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following inferior wall ST-elevation myocardial infarction successfully managed with isolated Dor endoventricular circular patch plasty: a case report

Abstract Background Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon but potentially fatal mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) resulting from a contained ventricular free-wall rupture. Unlike a true aneurysm, a pseudoaneurysm lacks a myocardial wall an...

Minimally Invasive Right Thoracotomy Versus Median Sternotomy for Atrial and Ventricular Septal Defect Closure: A Propensity-Matched Analysis

Background Minimally invasive cardiac surgery aims to reduce surgical trauma while maintaining excellent outcomes. Evidence comparing minimally invasive right thoracotomy with conventional median sternotomy for septal defect closure remains limited in large contemporary cohorts....
