Redoing surgical mitral valve replacement (SMVR) or undergoing transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) in patients with failed prostheses results in similar 3-year outcomes, reports a recent study. TMVR, however, initially displays a lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), but this risk increases after 6 months.

Children who regularly consume wholegrain oats and rye (WG) benefit from lower serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triacylglycerol, modulated taxa, and higher beneficial metabolites, according to a recent study.

Treatment with rituximab (RTX) in children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) and antibodies to antimelanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (anti-MDA5) results in clinical improvements in interstitial lung disease (ILD) as well as in cutaneous manifestation and musculoskeletal disease activity, according to a study.

HbA1c values show accuracy in diagnosing prediabetes among young women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) relative to the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), as shown in a study.

Treatment with ganaxolone in paediatric patients with cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 deficiency disorder (CDD) leads to reductions in major motor seizure frequency (MMSF) over 2 years, according to data from the open-label extension phase of the Marigold trial.

Patients who received direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) following transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) seem to have a lower risk of bleeding complications and shorter length of hospital stay, with no significant increase in the risk of thrombotic events, than those treated with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), a study has shown.
