Additionally, a ten-layer scaffold was successfully mineralized and confirmed with an alizarin red assay. In vitro studies confirmed the mineralized scaffold was biocompatible with human bone marrow derived stromal cells. Additionally, bone marrow derived stromal cells seeded on the mineralized scaffold with embedded HAp expressed 30% more osteocalcin, a primary bone protein, than these cells seeded on non-mineralized scaffolds and only 9% less osteocalcin than mature pre-osteoblasts on tissue culture polystyrene. This work aims to confirm the potential of a biomimetic mineralized scaffold for full-thickness trabecular bone replacement.
Duodenal perforation is a common surgical emergency and carries mortality ranging from 4% to 30% reported in Western countries, but there is a paucity of reports from India. We aimed to determine the factors which influence the surgical outcomes in patients with duodenal perforation.
We retrospectively analyzed prospectively collected data from January 2010 to December 2018.
A total of 55 patients were included in the study of which 69% (38) were males and 31% (17) were females (M F = 4.5 2). The mean age was 52.3 years. The cause for duodenal perforation was duodenal ulcer (
= 25, 45.5%), followed by post-ERCP complications (
= 15, 27.3%), surgery (
= 11, 20%), and blunt trauma (
= 4, 7.2%) with perforations localized at D2 (
= 28, 51%) and at D1 (
= 27, 49%). Patients underwent primary repair with an additional diversion procedure (
= 28, 51%) and repair only in 18 (32.8%). There were 21 (38%) deaths. Patients with ERCP-associated duodenal perforation had longer hospital stay (
≤ 0.001), ICU stay (
=0.049), duration of drainage (
≤ 0.001), and higher leak rate (
=0.001) and re-exploration rate (
=0.037). A high mortality rate was seen in patients with preoperative organ failure (
= 18, 78% versus 9.4%,
=0.001), postoperative leak (
= 7, 64% versus 32%,
=0.05), and longer duration from onset of symptoms to surgery (≥4 days) (
=0.045).
Perforation of the duodenum is associated with high morbidity and mortality regardless of its cause and is higher in those who have a longer interval to surgery, preoperative organ failure, and a postoperative leak.

Real-world data from different regions are needed to support the external validity of controlled trials and assess the impact of new oral anticoagulants (NOAC) in clinical practice.
"GLORIA-AF" is a large, ongoing, multicenter, global, prospective registry program in patients with newly diagnosed non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) at risk of stroke. Newly diagnosed patients with NVAF (within 4.5months) and a CHA
DS
-VASc score≥1 were consecutively enrolled. The study objective was to estimate the incidence rate of stroke and major bleeding after a two year follow up of patients on dabigatran that participated in the "GLORIA-AF" study (Phase II) in Latin America.
Latin America included 378 eligible patients that received dabigatran in eight countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Perú, and Venezuela) 56.3% were male; mean age was 70.3±10.8years; 43.4% had paroxysmal AF; 36.0% persistent AF and 20.6% permanent AF. Mean CHA
DS
-VASc score was 3.2±1.4; mean HAS-BLED score was 1.2±0.8. Incidence rates for clinical events after 2-years of follow-up per 100 patient-years were as follows stroke 0.33 (95% CI 0.04-1.17), major bleeding 0.49 (95% CI 0.10-1.42) and all-cause death 4.06 (95% CI 2.63-6.00). Persistence with dabigatran at 6, 12 and 24months was 91%, 86%, and 80%, respectively.
These regional data shows the sustained safety and effectiveness of dabigatran over two years of follow-up, consistent with already available evidence. An increase in accessibility and incorporation of NOAC to anticoagulant treatment strategies could potentially have a positive impact on AF stroke prevention in Latin America.

The development of complete AV block and the need for pacemaker implantation (PM) is the most frequent complication after Transaortic valve replacement (TAVR). In other PM clinical contexts, a higher percentage of ventricular stimulation has been associated with worse prognosis. check details The objective was to study the existence of predictors of PM dependence.
We identified 96 consecutive patients who had received a PM post-TAVR (all Core-Valve). We retrospectively analyzed this cohort with the aim of identifying predictors of a high and very high percentage of ventricular pacing (VP), PM dependency and survival.
The mean age was 82.3years, with a mean logistic EuroSCORE of 17.1, 53% were women and 12% of patients had LVEF<50%. The indication was complete AV block in 40.5%, and LBBB in 59.5%. Mean survival was 62.7months, IQR [54.4-71]. The only independent predictor of mortality was the pre-TAVR logistic Euro-SCORE (RR=1,026, p=0.033), but not LVEF<50%, VP>50%, VP>85% or PM dependence. In 73 patients PM rhythm was documented at the end of follow-up. Of these, 14 (19.2%) were considered dependent, and 37 (50.7%) presented VP>50%. The post-TAVR complete AV block recovery rate was 67.8%. In multivariate analysis, female sex (HR=5.6, p=0.005), and indication of complete AV block vs. LBBB (HR=15.7, p=0.017) were independently associated with PM dependency.
Female sex and indication due to complete AV block were independent predictors of PM dependency during follow up. In our series of patients with mostly normal LVEF, a high percentage of stimulation does not influence prognosis.
