    Abstract Purpose: An important aspect in the prevention and treatment of coronary artery disease is the functional evaluation of narrowed blood vessels. Medical image-based Computational Fluid Dynamic methods are currently increasingly being used in the clinical setting for flow studies of cardio vascular system. The aim of our study was to confirm the feasibility and functionality of a non-invasive computational method providing information about hemodynamic significance of coronary stenosis.
    Methods: A comparative method was used to simulate the flow energy losses in real (stenotic) and reconstructed models without (reference) stenosis of the coronary arteries under stress test conditions, i.e. for maximum blood flow and minimal, constant vascular resistance. In addition to the absolute pressure drop in the stenotic arteries (FFR
    Results: The greater the degree of narrowing of the vessel, the greater drop of flow energy. Each parameter introduces an additional diagnostic value. In contrast to FFR
    Conclusion: The study presented promising results of non-invasive, comparative test to support of prevention of coronary disease and functional evaluation of stenosed vessels.

    Abstract Background: Breast cancer remains the most common nonskin cancer among women. Prophylactic methods for reducing surgical-site complications after immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) are crucial to prevent acellular dermal matrices or prosthesis exposure and loss. The authors assessed the impact of closed-incision negative-pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) versus standard dressings (ST) after IBR on surgical-site complications, superficial skin temperature (SST), skin elasticity, and subjective scar quality, to determine the potential benefit of prophylactic ciNPWT application.
    Methods: A multicenter randomized controlled study of 60 adult female patients was conducted between January of 2019 and July of 2021. All patients had oncologic indications for IBR using implants or expanders.
    Results: Application of ciNPWT correlated with a significant decrease in surgical-site complications within 1 year of surgery (total, 40%; ST, 60%; ciNPWT, 20%; P = 0.003) and resulted in more elastic scar tissue as measured with a Cutometer (average coefficient of elasticity, 0.74; ST, 0.7; ciNPWT, 0.9; P < 0.001). The SST of each scar 1 week after surgery was significantly higher in the ciNPWT group (average SST, 31.5; ST SST, 31.2; ciNPWT SST, 32.3; P = 0.006). According to the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale v2.0, subjective scar outcomes in both groups were comparable.
    Conclusions: This is the first randomized controlled study that demonstrated a significant decrease in surgical-site wound complications within 1 year of surgery in IBR patients receiving ciNPWT. A high probability of postoperative radiotherapy should be a relative indication for the use of ciNPWT. .
    Clinical question/level of evidence: Therapeutic, II.

    Abstract Chest computed tomography is one of the most common diagnostic tests, with 15 million scans performed annually in the United States. Coronary calcium can be visualized on these scans, but other measures of cardiac risk such as atrial and ventricular volumes have classically required administration of contrast. Here we show that a fully automated pipeline, incorporating two artificial intelligence models, automatically quantifies coronary calcium, left atrial volume, left ventricular mass, and other cardiac chamber volumes in 29,687 patients from three cohorts. The model processes chamber volumes and coronary artery calcium with an end-to-end time of ~18 s, while failing to segment only 0.1% of cases. Coronary calcium, left atrial volume, and left ventricular mass index are independently associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and significantly improve risk classification compared to identification of abnormalities by a radiologist. This automated approach can be integrated into clinical workflows to improve identification of abnormalities and risk stratification, allowing physicians to improve clinical decision-making.

    Abstract (1) Background: Assessment of cognitive function is not routine in cardiac patients, and knowledge on the subject remains limited. The aim of this study was to assess post-myocardial infarction (MI) cognitive functioning in order to determine the frequency of cognitive impairment (CI) and to identify factors that may influence it. (2) Methods: A prospective study included 468 patients hospitalized for MI. Participants were assessed twice: during the first hospitalization and 6 months later. The Mini-Mental State Examination was used to assess the occurrence of CI. (3) Results: Cognitive dysfunction based on the MMSE was found in 37% (N-174) of patients during the first hospitalization. After 6 months, the prevalence of deficits decreased significantly to 25% (N-91) (

    Abstract We investigated the prognostic utility of visually estimated coronary artery calcification (VECAC) from low dose computed tomography attenuation correction (CTAC) scans obtained during SPECT/CT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), and assessed how it compares to coronary artery calcifications (CAC) quantified by calcium score on CTACs (QCAC). From the REFINE SPECT Registry 4,236 patients without prior coronary stenting with SPECT/CT performed at a single center were included (age: 64 ± 12 years, 47% female). VECAC in each coronary artery (left main, left anterior descending, circumflex, and right) were scored separately as 0 (absent), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), or 3 (severe), yielding a possible score of 0-12 for each patient (overall VECAC grade zero:0, mild:1-2, moderate: 3-5, severe: >5). CAC scoring of CTACs was performed at the REFINE SPECT core lab with dedicated software. VECAC was correlated with categorized QCAC (zero: 0, mild: 1-99, moderate: 100-399, severe: ≥400). A high degree of correlation was observed between VECAC and QCAC, with 73% of VECACs in the same category as QCAC and 98% within one category. There was substantial agreement between VECAC and QCAC (weighted kappa: 0.78 with 95% confidence interval: 0.76-0.79, p < 0.001). During a median follow-up of 25 months, 372 patients (9%) experienced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). In survival analysis, both VECAC and QCAC were associated with MACE. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for 2-year-MACE was similar for VECAC when compared to QCAC (0.694 versus 0.691, p = 0.70). In conclusion, visual assessment of CAC on low-dose CTAC scans provides good estimation of QCAC in patients undergoing SPECT/CT MPI. Visually assessed CAC has similar prognostic value for MACE in comparison to QCAC.
