TL;DR: A reduced left ventricular end-diastolic volume and improved hemodynamics occurred early after MitraClip therapy, and an advanced age and residual MR >1+ were associated with an increased risk of mortality and heart failure.
Abstract: The goal of this study was to determine the predictors of adverse clinical outcomes in patients treated with the MitraClip for significant mitral regurgitation (MR) with a focus on acute changes in hemodynamics and cardiac function. This retrospective study included 63 patients (mean age 82 ± 8 years, 48% male) with moderate to severe or severe MR. Cardiac catheterization was performed before and immediately after MitraClip repair. Volumetric and functional changes were assessed in both ventricles. A major adverse cardiac event was defined as a composite of cardiac death and readmission for heart failure. Patients were followed up on average for 380 days. MR was improved in 92% of patients after MitraClip therapy from an average grade of 4+ to 1+ (p 1+ were associated with an increased risk of mortality and heart failure.

TL;DR: In a phase I/II dose-escalation study, safety and efficacy of VB-111 in patients with recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) were evaluated and assessments included safety, pharmacokinetics, tumor response (RANO criteria) and overall survival (OS).
Abstract: TPS2102 Background: VB-111 is an anti-angiogenic agent consisting of a non-replicating adenovirus vector (Ad-5) with a modified murine pre-proendothelin promoter leading to apoptosis of tumor vascu...

TL;DR: A surgical stepdown unit can be a safe disposition for patients with mild traumatic ICHs and represents an effective use of hospital resources.
Abstract: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a major source of disability in the United States. The ideal unit in the hospital for patients with mild traumatic intracranial hemorrhages (ICHs) has not been elucidated. We sought to investigate whether patients treated in the surgical stepdown area had worse outcomes than those treated in the surgical ICU. We compared patients with ICHs and a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) upon admission of 14 or 15 who went to the ICU to those who went to the stepdown area from April 2014 to November 2016. We compared age, gender, Injury Severity Score (ISS), admission GCS (14 or 15), operative intervention, discharge destination, hospital length of stay (HLOS), mortality, and cost between these two groups. Patients admitted to the ICU had a significantly longer HLOS. Admission costs for patients admitted to ICU were also significantly higher than their stepdown area counterparts. This was true for both total charges (p = 0.0001) and for net revenue (p = 0.002) (Table 2). There was no statistically significant difference in mortality, operative intervention, or discharge destination. A surgical stepdown unit can be a safe disposition for patients with mild traumatic ICHs and represents an effective use of hospital resources.
