Exploring the surgical personality.
Sier VQ, Schmitz RF, Schepers A, van der Vorst JR
Surgery is a demanding field, requiring determination and emotional stability. This review explores the surgical personality, addressing international personality differences between surgical and non-surgical specialties. Across the globe, surgically-interested individuals (i.e., medical students, residents, surgeons) generally scored higher on conscientiousness, open mindedness, and extraversion, and lower on neuroticism compared to non-surgically-interested contemporaries. Extraversion was inv...

Incorporating Baseline Outcome Data in Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis of Non-randomized Studies.
Syrogiannouli L, Wildisen L, Meuwese C, Bauer DC, Cappola AR, Gussekloo J, den Elzen WPJ, Trompet S, Westendorp RGJ, Jukema JW, Ferrucci L, Ceresini G, Åsvold BO, Chaker L, Peeters RP, Imaizumi M, Ohishi W, Vaes B, Völzke H, Sgarbi JA, Walsh JP, Dullaart RPF, Bakker SJL, Iacoviello M, Rodondi N, Del Giovane C
Background: In non-randomized studies (NRSs) where a continuous outcome variable (e.g., depressive symptoms) is assessed at baseline and follow-up, it is common to observe imbalance of the baseline values between the treatment/exposure group and control group. This may bias the study and consequently a meta-analysis (MA) estimate. These estimates may differ across statistical methods used to deal with this issue. Analysis of individual participant data (IPD) allows standardization of methods acr...

Prognostic Relevance of Right Ventricular Remodeling after ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Patients Treated With Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
Chimed S, van der Bijl P, Lustosa RP, Hirasawa K, Yedidya I, Fortuni F, van der Velde E, Montero-Cabezas JM, Marsan NA, Gersh BJ, Delgado V, Bax JJ
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) often leads to changes in right ventricular (RV) function and size over time. The prognostic implications of RV remodeling after STEMI, however, are unknown. RV remodeling in patients who underwent STEMI with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was defined by RV end-systolic area (RV ESA) change at 6 months after STEMI compared with baseline. The optimal threshold of RV ESA change (≥40%) to define RV remodeling was derived from spli...

Successful hybrid cardiac resynchronization therapy in a patient with failing systemic right ventricle and significant tricuspid regurgitation in transposition of the great arteries after atrial switch procedure according to Mustard.
Nederend M, Zeppenfeld K, Jongbloed MRM, Egorova AD
Background: Patients with a systemic right ventricle (sRV) in the context of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) late after atrial switch are prone to heart failure. Complications like tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) can further aggravate sRV dysfunction. Tricuspid valve regurgitation is usually secondary to annular dilatation and restriction. Criteria for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in this patient group are not well defined and should be considered on a case-by-case basis....
