atients with advanced DCM, while patients undergoing MAP with/without SVR had more frequent MR recurrence or cardiac events. Interestingly, the right ventricular feature is a predictor of both cardiac death and events, with the TR grade being a predictor of poor mid-term outcomes.Protein prenylation is a post-translational lipid modification that governs a variety of important cellular signaling pathways, including those regulating synaptic functions and cognition in the nervous system. Two enzymes, farnesyltransferase (FT) and geranylgeranyltransferase type I (GGT), are essential for the prenylation process. Genetic reduction of FT or GGT ameliorates neuropathology but only FT haplodeficiency rescues cognitive function in transgenic mice of Alzheimer's disease. A follow-up study showed that systemic or forebrain neuron-specific deficiency of GGT leads to synaptic and cognitive deficits under physiological conditions. Whether FT plays different roles in shaping neuronal functions and cognition remains elusive. This study shows that in contrast to the detrimental effects of GGT reduction, systemic haplodeficiency of FT has little to no impact on hippocampal synaptic plasticity and cognition. However, forebrain neuron-specific FT deletion also leads to reduced synaptic plasticity, memory retention, and hippocampal dendritic spine density. Furthermore, a novel prenylomic analysis identifies distinct pools of prenylated proteins that are affected in the brain of forebrain neuron-specific FT and GGT knockout mice, respectively. Taken together, this study uncovers that physiological levels of FT and GGT in neurons are essential for normal synaptic/cognitive functions and that the prenylation status of specific signaling molecules regulates neuronal functions.A wide spectrum of research such as experimental, randomized trials, cohort or epidemiological studies, technical or control case reports, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses has resulted in a huge amount of publications. These studies and publications may be subject to errors due to poor application of statistical tests, which can lead to misinformation, misinterpretation, and erroneous conclusions, sometimes even considered as lies. In this article, some ideas about this issue are discussed in order to adopt new directions in the future and thus avoid lies and bad statistics. Hyperkalemia is associated with many chronic diseases and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor therapy. Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC), an oral, highly selective cation-exchanger, is approved for the treatment of hyperkalemia. This phase 3, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, flexible-dose study assessed the safety and efficacy of SZC in Japanese patients with hyperkalemia during a correction phase of up to 3days and long-term (1year) maintenance phase (NCT03172702). Overall, 150 patients received treatment during both study phases; the study population was generally representative of hyperkalemic Japanese patients in clinical practice. Most patients (78.7%) had three doses of SZC during the correction phase. All but one patient received SZC for ≤ 48h before transitioning to the maintenance phase. In the maintenance phase, mean (standard deviation; SD) exposure to the study drug was 319.4 (98.1) days and mean (SD) dose was 7.38 (2.85) g/day. Adverse events (AEs) were reported in 131 patients (87.3%); most were mild. The most common treatment-related AEs as evaluated by investigators were constipation (6.7%), peripheral edema (4.0%), and hypertension (2.7%). In the correction phase, 78.7% of patients were normokalemic at 24h and 98.7% within 48h; ≥ 65.5% maintained normokalemia throughout the maintenance phase. After a year of exposure, SZC treatment was well tolerated by Japanese patients and potassium levels were well controlled.After a year of exposure, SZC treatment was well tolerated by Japanese patients and potassium levels were well controlled. The purpose of this review is to describe the outcomes following refractory cardiogenic shock (CS) requiring mechanical circulatory support and factors associated with successful and unsuccessful weaning from VA-ECMO. Based on the presented data, we will propose a weaning and bridging algorithm with the aim of facilitating this complex process. Refractory CS requiring VA-ECMO support is associated with high early mortality. Rapamycin clinical trial Approximately 1/3 of the patients weaned from ECMO do not survive until hospital discharge. When evaluating the ability to wean from ECMO etiology of CS, hemodynamics, end-organ function, pulmonary blood oxygenation, metabolic status, and echocardiographic assessments must be considered. When cardiopulmonary function is not recoverable, heart replacement therapies (HRT) should be considered early as patients may have better outcomes. Durable weaning from VA-ECMO is obtainable in well-selected patients. Patients should be separated from the ECMO circuit in the presence of myocardial recy is unsatisfactory (severe LV dysfunction), HRT should be considered early in suitable candidates. Future research is needed to identify predictors of sustained myocardial recovery. Detailed mapping studies of accessory pathway (AP) conduction have not been previously performed using ultra-high resolution mapping systems. We sought to evaluate the clinical utility of ultra-high resolution mapping systems and the novel "Lumipoint" algorithm in AP ablation. This study included 17 patients who underwent AP mapping using minielectrode basket catheters and Rhythmia systems. Ablation was performed with 4-mm irrigated-tip catheters. Antegrade and retrograde AP conduction was observed in 6 and 16 patients. Atrial activation map was obtained during orthodromic tachycardia and ventricular pacing in 13 (76.5%) and 14 (82.3%) patients, and the earliest activation area was identical. Ventricular activation maps were created during atrial pacing in 3 patients. All maps showed focal activation patterns on global activation histograms, and the valley on the histogram highlighted the earliest activation area. "Complex activation" features further highlighted limited areas with continuous electrical activity during the time period in the majority.
