CONCLUSIONS: The Tendyne TMVR was effective at achieving immediate and sustainable elimination of MR, which was associated with symptomatic improvement and absence of structural valve degeneration in a high-risk cohort over 5 years. These findings support TMVR with the Tendyne System as an alternative for patients with appropriate mitral valve anatomy and symptomatic secondary MR […]

There has been a request from the Australian Commission for Safety and Quality in Health Care to include an amendment note for this paper [...].

Background: Group Care (GC) is an antenatal/postnatal care model comprised of a stable group of pregnant people or parent-child dyads receiving care in two-hour group sessions that combine clinical care with interactive discussion and learning. Integrating GC into healthcare systems organised for individual care poses challenges at both site and system levels. This study identified […]

Liver transplantation (LT) has for decades been a well-established treatment for end-stage liver disease and malignancy, becoming the standard of care for select patients with these life-limiting conditions. Due to a limited pool of high-quality deceased donor organs, there is an existing and growing disparity between those in need of and those able to access […]

ICG lymphography is a lymphatic imaging tool that can inform lymphedema treatment, including self-management. Self-management requires patient engagement in a multimodal treatment program. However, lack of knowledge about lymphedema, challenges maintaining motivation, and lack of confidence in ability to perform self-management are barriers to engagement. This study aimed to determine if there was any change […]

Fatigue monitoring and detection are crucial for improving efficiency and safety due to their influence on reducing cognitive and physical performance that may result in safety-related incidents. This paper proposes a filter bank-based approach that decomposes electroencephalography (EEG) signals into delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma sub-bands for feature extraction to enhance fatigue detection using […]

CONCLUSIONS: High calcium volume, narrow sinus dimensions, and excessive valve oversizing were associated with aortic root rupture. The ABC algorithm showed promising performance for risk stratification of patients with bicuspid anatomy being considered for treatment with a SAPIEN 3 valve.

CONCLUSIONS: The physiological rationale and supporting data from related surgical populations suggest that prehabilitation would confer meaningful benefits for patients undergoing pelvic exenteration. Prospective studies are needed to assess the "best" type of exercise and rehabilitation programs prior to PE.

CONCLUSION: While there are similarities in the broad aspects of how burns clinicians use laser to treat hypertrophic scars, there are several differences in practice. These variations highlight potential research directions to optimize patient outcomes from this treatment modality.

CONCLUSION: Late infections were common and clinically significant, with RVIs remaining a major source of morbidity. Fungal infection risk was associated with corticosteroid exposure extending beyond 6 months, supporting ongoing infection surveillance and prevention strategies beyond the first post infusion year.

Organ donation after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) can be ethically justifiable when it remains firmly anchored in patient-centred care, respect for autonomy, and proportionality of treatment. Decisions regarding continuation or withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy require separation from donation considerations, with transparent processes and robust ethical oversight. Supporting families in decision-making is fundamental. Healthcare professionals, in […]

Reanalysis of genomic data in rare disease is highly effective in increasing diagnostic yields but remains limited by manual approaches. Automation and optimization for high specificity will be necessary to ensure scalability, adoption and sustainability of iterative reanalysis. We developed Talos, an open-source tool that automates variant prioritization by integrating dynamically updated gene-disease and variant-level […]
