Development and internal validation of the Low Cardiac Index Score: a simplified bedside tool for continuous intraoperative screening

<title>Abstract</title> Purpose Advanced haemodynamic monitoring of cardiac index is restricted to selected high-risk cases, leaving most patients undergoing major surgery without real-time assessment. We aimed to develop and internally validate a simplified bedside score for con...

The Reverse Calcification Technique (RCT): A Quantitative Parametric Model of Aortic Stenosis Progression

Abstract Introduction Aortic stenosis (AS) develops from calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), which narrows the aortic valve opening as leaflet stiffness increases due to calcium deposition. This study extends the Reverse Calcification Technique (RCT) by incorporating a time dim...

The “POP-IT” ear deformity: early recognition and non-surgical management of a novel neonatal auricular deformation

BACKGROUND: Congenital auricular deformities are common in newborns, yet many remain underdiagnosed despite the availability of effective early non-surgical correction. We describe a previously unreported auricular deformation, termed the "POP-IT" ear deformity, and present our e...
