Postoperative brain damage is a major sequela of cardiovascular surgery. Different methods-such as transcranial Doppler imaging, carotid echography, and fluorescein angiography-can be used to monitor cerebral blood flow, but they present specific limitations.High-resolution color Doppler imaging of the ophthalmic artery is a useful,...

Stentless valves have been demonstrated excellent hemodynamic performances favoring the recovery of left ventricular function and the ventricular hypertrophy regression. The aim of the study was to evaluate the early hemodynamic performance of the Shelhigh SuperStentless aortic valve (AV).

Background: Several trials evaluated the role of ovarian function suppression for the adjuvant treatment of premenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer. Based on the results of the SOFT and TEXT trials, international guidelines recommend the addition of ovarian function suppression to standard adjuvant endocrine...

Ribociclib plus letrozole demonstrated manageable safety and efficacy profiles in hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer (ABC) in the Phase 3b CompLEEment-1 trial.

: Approximately 20% of breast cancers (BCs) overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), a transmembrane glycoprotein with tyrosine kinase activity, encoded by ERBB2 gene. Historically, HER2 overexpression has been linked with increased disease recurrence and a worse prognosis. However, the increasing availability of different...
