Thiamine responsive high output heart failure of adults: an under-recognized entity

Sobia Nisar, Khalid Mohi-u-din, Shahid Iqbal Tak, Syed Manzoor Ali Andrabi, Masood Tanvir, Umar Muzaffer, Ozaifa Kareem, Mohd. Ashraf Ganie

Summary: This study aims to present the clinical profile of patients with high-output heart failure (HOHF) caused by thiamine deficiency. Responders to thiamine therapy had lower thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) levels and higher lactate and venous oxygen saturation compared to non-responders. The response to thiamine challenge may serve as a surrogate marker for thiamine deficiency in patients with features suggestive of HOHF.

Obesity Paradox: Fact or Fiction?

Stamatia Simati, Alexander Kokkinos, Maria Dalamaga, Georgia Argyrakopoulou

Summary: The obesity paradox refers to the observation that certain chronic diseases show a protective association between body mass index (BMI) and clinical outcomes. However, this association may be influenced by factors such as limitations of BMI, unintended weight loss due to chronic illness, different phenotypes of obesity, and cardiorespiratory fitness levels. Recent evidence suggests that cardioprotective medications, obesity duration, and smoking status also play a role in the obesity paradox.

Constrictive pericarditis following heart transplantation: Reality or fiction?

Bahaa M. Fadel, Haifa Mahjoub, Elias J. Salem, Brigitte E. Kazzi, Najmeddine Echahidi, Dania Mohty

Summary: Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is a treatable cause of diastolic heart failure, often seen in patients with prior cardiac surgery. Factors such as post-transplantation pericardial effusion, mediastinitis, and cardiac rejection can predispose allograft recipients to CP. Healthcare providers should consider CP in patients who develop heart failure symptoms post-transplant of unclear etiology.

Safety and Efficacy of Thrombin for Bleeding Gastric Varices: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abhishek Bhurwal, Michael Makar, Anish Patel, Hemant Mutneja, Akshay Goel, Michal Bartel, Haroon Shahid, Mihajlo Gjeorgjievski, Vinod Rustgi, Avik Sarkar

Summary: In summary, studies on the use of thrombin for bleeding gastric varices indicate low rates of rebleeding and minimal rates of adverse events. While the rates of early and late rebleeding and rescue therapy are similar to cyanoacrylate-based therapy, the minimal rates of adverse events are perhaps the most significant benefit of thrombin. Therefore, current data suggest that thrombin is a very promising therapeutic alternative with low risk of adverse events for bleeding gastric varices.

No Significant Difference in Post-ERCP Bleeding Rates Between Dual Antiplatelet Agents and Aspirin Alone A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Abhishek Bhurwal, Hemant Mutneja, Akshay Goel, Vikas Bansal, Anish Patel, Bhaumik Brahmbhatt, Avik Sarkar

Summary: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) versus aspirin alone in terms of post-ERCP bleeding by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis. The results showed that the post-ERCP bleeding rates were not significantly higher in the DAPT cohort compared to the aspirin alone cohort, indicating that the risk of bleeding is more likely related to the procedure itself rather than the use of antiplatelet agents.

Proteomic analysis of transcription factors involved in the alteration of ischemic mouse heart as modulated by MSC exosomes

Rajshekhar A. Kore, Samir V. Jenkins, Azemat Jamshidi-Parsian, Alan J. Tackett, Robert J. Griffin, Srinivas Ayyadevara, Jawahar L. Mehta

Summary: Research has shown that mesenchymal stem cell exosomes can alleviate cardiac dysfunction in animal models of ischemia. These exosomes carry active and inactive proteins, including often-overlooked transcriptional regulators, which can influence the transcriptome and proteome of recipient cells. The study investigates the differentially modulated transcriptional factors and regulators in MSC exosome-treated ischemic mouse hearts and their potential role in modulating cardiac function. The findings provide insight into the mechanisms underlying cardiac dysfunction during ischemia and pave the way for future studies on the modulation of cardiac function by MSC exosomes.
