    Abstract Surgical treatment of mitral valve disease with severe mitral annular calcifications (MACs) is challenging, with reported high morbidity and mortality. Transcatheter treatment options are feasible, however, still far from being optimal alternatives. We report our positive experience with the off-label implant of a BioIntegral Injectable BioPulmonic valve fitted on a circumferential pericardial skirt for the treatment of severe MAC.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected individuals with eating disorders (ED), leading to an exacerbation of symptoms worldwide in 2020. However, there is a lack of longitudinal analyses of the psychological burdens experienced by this population. This study aims to longitudinally assess the psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in people with ED and their healthy sisters (HS) 1 and 2 years after the onset of the crisis. A sample of 148 individuals, consisting of 73 with ED and 45 HS, was evaluated in spring 2021 and spring 2022 regarding their current psychological and behavioral states. Participants were also asked to reflect on their feelings and behaviors during the 2020 lockdown. General psychopathology, eating disorders, and trauma-related symptoms were evaluated using validated questionnaires. Both groups showed an overall improvement in psychopathological symptoms with time. Individuals with ED exhibited greater improvement compared to their HS, which may be attributed to their initially higher burden. Individuals with ED reported a negative reframe, characterized by internalizing negative emotions and behaviors related to the 2020 lockdown. This longitudinal evaluation revealed two distinct and contrasting effects. Both ED patients and their HS demonstrated psychological improvement over time. However, people with ED experienced a negative reframe that affected their memory of specific life events, subsequently affecting their psychological well-being. These findings shed light on the clinical severity observed in people with ED during these pandemic years.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the perioperative analgesic effects of an opioid-free (OFA) and an opioid-sparing (OSA) anaesthetic protocol in dogs undergoing laparoscopic ovariectomy.
    Study design: Prospective, randomized, blinded, clinical trial.
    Animals: A group of 28 client-owned dogs.
    Methods: Dogs were allocated to one of two groups. The OFA group was administered intramuscular (IM) dexmedetomidine 5 μg kg
    Results: There were no significant differences in the intraoperative monitored variables between groups. The OFA group showed a significantly lower intraoperative rescue analgesia requirement (p = 0.016) and lower postoperative pain scores at 3 (p =0.001) and 6 (p < 0.001) hours. No dogs were administered rescue methadone postoperatively.
    Conclusions and clinical relevance: Although both groups achieved acceptable postoperative pain scores with no need for further intervention, the analgesic efficacy of the OFA protocol was significantly superior to that of the OSA protocol presented and was associated with a lower intraoperative rescue analgesia requirement and early postoperative pain scores.

    Abstract Isolated tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has gained increasing recognition in recent years both in the surgical and in the cardiological community. Left untreated, isolated TR significantly worsens survival. Despite being a strong predictor of negative prognosis, interventions to correct TR are rarely performed due to increased surgical risk and late patient presentation. Recently, the ultimate focus has been on patient selection, surgical or transcatheter indication, and correct timing. Furthermore, of paramount importance is the identification of predictors of outcome following treatment, in order to discriminate between favorable and unfavorable responders and guide the decision-making process of the most adequate treatment for every patient.

    Abstract Isolated tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is gaining increasing recognition. Left untreated, isolated TR significantly worsens survival. Management of patients with severe isolated TR remains controversial and stand-alone surgery is rarely performed due to reported high in-hospital mortality. However, recent data has underlined how early referral and surgical correction result in excellent both short-and long-term results, with no in-hospital mortality, 100% 5-year survival and no further hospitalizations for right heart failure. These results should prompt a drastic change in attitude in the treatment, management and referral of patients with severe isolated TR, especially since surgery remains the only effective therapy.
