Venous stenosis is a late complication of the atrial switch (Mustard/Senning) procedure seen in patients with transposition of the great arteries ( d-TGA). Many atrial switch patients require cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) which further increases the incidence of venous stenosis. Stenosis of the superior limb of the systemic venous pathway (SLSVP) in the presence of CIED leads presents a management challenge. We propose a method for navigating SLSVP stenosis in atrial switch patients with CIEDs. The pulse generator and leads were removed using standard extraction techniques. Axillary access was retained via existing leads or new access was obtained. The interventional cardiology team, via groin access, performed stent-angioplasty of the stenotic SLSVP. After stent deployment, the axillary access wire was snared from below, guided through the stent, and pulled into a long groin sheath. A sheath was then advanced over the axillary wire and into the groin sheath creating a path for passage of leads through the stent. New leads were advanced through the axillary sheath into the heart. Leads were secured using standard techniques. All patients had a history of d-TGA and prior atrial switch procedures. In each case, there was stenosis of the SLSVP in the setting of a CIED lead. There were no immediate complications and there was no restenosis on follow-up. Post-atrial switch patients with CIEDs can develop stenosis of the SLSVP. A collaboration between electrophysiology and interventional cardiology can allow for device extraction, stent-angioplasty, and lead reimplantation to avoid "jailing" the leads.

Most assessments used in the field of couple and family therapy were developed using Classical Test Theory (CTT). An alternate theory for guiding the creation, evaluation, and scoring of assessments is Item Response Theory (IRT). IRT has several advantages over CTT and can be used to improve measurement in the field. For example, the IRT approach creates measures that are significantly more precise, yet uses fewer items, than scales created using CTT. This manuscript provides an overview of how IRT differs from CTT and describes the fundamental concepts and assumptions of IRT. Following this summary, we provide a step-by-step example of how IRT can be used to reduce the length of the Marital Disaffection Scale from 21 to 6 items without losing a significant amount of information about the construct.Invited for the cover of this issue are the groups of Fahmi Himo and Kazushi Mashima at Stockholm University and Osaka University.

Keeping these facts in view, drug repurposing started for utilization of a drug in a different way from a preexisting drug, which reduces the time and cost of development of a new drug. Repurposing increases the potency of a drug and reduces its toxicity level, as it is required in lower amounts, supporting the utilization of the drug as a new therapeutic option. This will be further explored to highlight the application in AMR.Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as the name suggests was initially thought to only cause a respiratory illness. However, several reports have been published of patients with ischemic strokes in the setting of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The mechanisms of how SARS-CoV-2 results in blood clots and large vessel strokes need to be defined as it has therapeutic implications. SARS-CoV-2 enters the blood stream by breaching the blood-air barrier via the lung capillary adjacent to the alveolus, and then attaches to the angiotensin-converting enzyme II receptors on the endothelial cells. Once SARS-CoV-2 enters the blood stream, a cascade of events (Steps 1-8) unfolds including accumulation of angiotensin II, reactive oxygen species, endothelial dysfunction, oxidation of beta 2 glycoprotein 1, formation of antiphospholipid antibody complexes promoting platelet aggregation, coagulation cascade, and formation of cross-linked fibrin blood clots, leading to pulmonary emboli (PE) and large vessel strokes seen on angiographic imaging studies. There is emerging evidence for COVID-19 being a blood clotting disorder and SARS-CoV-2 using the respiratory route to enter the blood stream. As the blood-air barrier is breached, varying degrees of collateral damage occur. Although antiviral and immune therapies are studied, the role of blood thinners in the prevention, and management of blood clots in Covid-19 need evaluation. In addition to ventilators and blood thinners, continuous aspiration and clot retrieval devices (approved in Europe, cleared in the United States) or cyclical aspiration devices (approved in Europe) need to be considered for the emergent management of life-threatening clots including PE and large vessel strokes. Vestibular disease (VD), central or peripheral, can be a dramatic primary-care presentation. Current literature describes mostly dogs examined in referral centers. Describe the prevalence, presentation, clinical management, and outcomes of VD in dogs under primary veterinary care at UK practices participating in VetCompass. Seven hundred and fifty-nine vestibular cases identified out of 905 544 study dogs. Retrospective cohort study. Potential VD cases clinically examined during 2016 were verified by reviewing clinical records for signalment, presenting clinical signs, treatments, and outcomes. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate factors associated with VD. The overall prevalence of VD was 8 per 10 000 dogs (95% CI = 7-9). Median age at first diagnosis was 12.68 years (interquartile range [IQR], 11.28-14.64). Compared with crossbreeds, breeds with the highest odds of VD diagnosis included French Bulldogs (odds ratio [OR] = 9.25, 95% CI = 4.81-17.76, P < .001), Bulldogs (OR = 6.
