    Abstract Objectives: Body mass index (calculated as kilograms body weight divided by the square of heightin meters) is a known predictor of mortality after adult heart transplant but has limitations.We investigated whether inclusion of an explicit weight-height interaction effect improves prediction of mortality after heart transplant compared with body mass index.
    Methods and results: We included a cohort of 46424 adults who had undergone heart transplant as documented in the United Network for Organ Sharing database. Risk-adjusted prediction models for 1-year and 5-year mortality were constructed, one with the flexible weight-height interaction and the other with the body mass index. Overall model performance (R2) and discrimination (the Harrell concordance probability C index and the Somers Dxy rank correlation) were calculated. Compared with the body mass index model, the weight-height model had slightly improved overall performance (R2, 0.316 vs 0.313) and 1-year mortality discrimination (optimism- corrected Harrell C, 0.642 vs 0.640; Somers Dxy, 0.284 vs 0.281). Compared with the body mass index model, the weight-height model had improved overall performance (R2, 0.232 vs 0.224) and similar discrimination (optimism-corrected Harrell C, 0.600 vs 0.599; Somers Dxy, 0.200 vs 0.197) for 5-year mortality.
    Conclusions: Allowance for a flexible relationship between height and weight did not appreciably improve mortality prediction after heart transplant, versus body mass index, although additionalresearch is warranted.

    Abstract Background: Utilization of heart from older donors is variable across centers with uncertain outcomes of recipients. We sought to utilize a national registry to examine the usage and outcomes of heart transplant (HT) recipients from older donors. We also explored the impact of current donor heart allocation scheme on the outcomes of hearts from older donors.
    Methods: This observational study utilized the United Network for Organ Sharing database between 2015 and 2023 with donors categorized into age <45 years or ≥45 years and evaluated organ disposition and geographical variation. Thirty-day, 1-, and 3-year mortality, and graft failure rates were compared among recipients as per donor age group. We also evaluated annual trends in HT for each group over the follow-up period.
    Results: A total of 24,966 adult donors were recovered: 3,742 (15.0%) were ≥45 years; 3,349 (15.6%) adults received heart from such donors with significant geographical variation, and a declining utilization in the transplantation rate in current donor allocation system. Donors with age ≥45 years had higher comorbidities and were allotted with a significantly shorter ischemic time to recipients who were significantly less likely to receive temporary mechanical circulatory support and more likely female. Unadjusted and adjusted, 30-day mortality were similar but 1- and 3-year mortality and graft failure rates were significantly higher in recipients of such donors. Spline analysis suggested a higher 1-year mortality risk at older donor age with risk increasing after age 40 years.
    Conclusions: Older donor age was associated with worsened 1- and 3-year mortality and graft failure for heart transplant recipients.

    Abstract Good posture and form are essential for safe and productive exercising. Even in gym settings, trainers may not be readily available for feedback. Rehabilitation therapies and fitness workouts can thus benefit from recommender systems that provide real-time evaluation. In this paper, we present an algorithmic pipeline that can diagnose problems in exercise techniques and offer corrective recommendations, with high sensitivity and specificity in real-time. We use MediaPipe for pose recognition, count repetitions using peak-prominence detection, and use a learnable physics simulator to track motion evolution for each exercise. A test video is diagnosed based on deviations from the prototypical learned motion using statistical learning. The system is evaluated on six full and upper body exercises. These real-time recommendations, counseled via low-cost equipment like smartphones, will allow exercisers to rectify potential mistakes making self-practice feasible while reducing the risk of workout injuries.

    Abstract This case report illustrates a tragic example of a "missed diagnosis" of amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis with cardiac involvement that led to progressive heart failure and the ultimate death of the patient. It had a rather atypical presentation in terms of cardiac imaging, although there were certain highly suspicious clinical features, cardiac and otherwise. It also illustrates the importance of selecting the most appropriate assays to establish (or rule out) the presence of monoclonal immunoglobulin consistent with AL amyloidosis, which has a poor clinical prognosis, as unfortunately demonstrated in this case.

    Abstract Background: More than 43 million cases and 5.2 lakhs death have occurred due to COVID-19 in India. Approximately 1 lakh people (cumulative) have been infected by COVID-19 in Faridabad district alone as of 4 April 2022. To understand the effects of COVID-19 on community practices this study was conducted.
    Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Intensive Field Practice Area of Comprehensive Rural health Services Project (CRHSP), Ballabgarh, Haryana. Five hundred participants (≥18 years) were selected by using simple random sampling from Health Management Information System (HMIS) maintained at Centre for Community Medicine, AIIMS, New Delhi. Participants were informed regarding study and consent was taken. A semi-structured interview schedule was administered.
    Results: Study participants included 500 adults (52.2% Male). Mean age (S.D.) of participants were 39.1 (14.9) years. Almost all participants started practicing hand sanitisation (496, 99.2%), avoiding crowd (488, 97.6%), and covering face with cloth/handkerchief (459, 91.8%). More than 80% (428, 85.6%) started using mask, and following cough etiquettes (405, 81.0%). More than three-fourth (389, 77.8%) participants were very unsatisfied with lockdown. Majority faced financial difficulties (322, 64.4%), followed by difficulty in their entertainment/recreational activity (158, 31.6%), difficulty in acquiring ration/food items (87, 17.4%) and mental stress (46, 9.2%) during lockdown.
    Conclusions: Rural community of Ballabgarh showed positive practices with respect to prevention of COVID-19. Financial distress and job loss due to lockdown were widely reported from the rural community. Majority of the community was displeased with lockdown as intervention for COVID-19.

    Abstract Faced with a chronic donor shortage, clinicians and regulators both struggle to develop allocation systems which balance the challenges of waitlist mortality and donor availability. Most organ allocation systems across the globe have prioritized transplantation of patients supported on temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) with regional variations. There are concerns that this approach might not produce optimal outcomes and is not without major drawbacks including lack of strict criteria for tMCS as bridge strategy, choice of optimal devices and wait time on tMCS. The current manuscript outlines characteristics and limitations of current devices used for tMCS as a bridging strategy. The outcomes of transplantation following device support are evolving and are highlighted as well. Lastly, the allocation schema for heart transplantation in various countries are reviewed and compared. Additionally, we propose key principles to guide changes in next iteration of donor allocation systems to balance waitlist mortality with optimal post-transplant outcomes. First, allocation should be on the basis of calculated scores which take into account a variety of pre-and post-transplant factors and cannot be easily manipulate by choice of support therapy. Next, time at high urgency statuses should be time-limited with strict criteria for renewal. Emphasis should be placed on the further refinement of durable mechanical support therapies. Patients on durable support need a pathway to qualify for transplantation in the absence of complications, and lastly, peer review of exceptions to organ allocation policy are critically important to ensure the appropriate allocation of donor organs.
