Abstract

Right ventricular (RV) failure that necessitates isolated mechanical support is extremely rare. Outcomes have not been described and are limited to case reports. We sought to evaluate this select group of patients and determine their 30 day and 1 year survival. We retrospectively reviewed the Mechanical Assist Device Database at Columbia University from 2007 to 2015. Inclusion criteria consisted of patients who received isolated RV assist devices (RVADs) without mechanical support of the left ventricle. We evaluated survival, duration of support, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, and adverse events. There were 55 patients who underwent RVAD placement between February 2007 and April 2015. Eleven of these patients received isolated RVADs in the absence of mechanical circulatory support of the left ventricle. Average duration of support was 13.6 days with a median duration of 12 days. Thirty day and 1 year survival was 72.7% and 54.6%, respectively. This case series is the first to describe 30 day and 1 year outcomes for patients with isolated RV mechanical support. We propose an interdisciplinary institutional algorithm based on our study population that maximizes medical therapy and then pursues invasive forms of mechani...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
