  1. Percutaneous atrial septal defect repair offers lower complication rates, shorter hospital stays, and reduced costs compared to open heart surgery.
  2. Three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography provides reliable defect measurements and may assist in patient selection for catheter closure without sedation.
  3. The study analyzed 36 patients referred for atrial septal defect closure over three years, with a median age of 6 years and median weight of 19.3 kg.
  4. Direct surgical closure referral occurred in 42% of patients, often due to unsuitable defect anatomy for percutaneous intervention.
  5. Among patients referred for three-dimensional echocardiography, 46% were female, and notable comorbidities included patent ductus arteriosus and chronic renal failure.

  1. Hyperuricemia is increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular and metabolic conditions.
  2. Ambient air pollution, particularly particulate matter, may contribute to hyperuricemia through systemic inflammation and oxidative stress.
  3. Previous studies on air pollution and hyperuricemia lacked generalizability and focused on high pollution areas.
  4. This study analyzed data from 20,117 adults to assess the impact of long-term exposure to various air pollutants on serum uric acid.
  5. Hyperuricemia was defined as serum uric acid levels exceeding 7.0 mg/dL in males and 6.0 mg/dL in females.

  1. The study evaluated self-harm risk associated with ADHD medication across multiple healthcare systems from 2001 to 2020.
  2. Among 461,024 individuals on ADHD medication, 6,847 experienced self-harm events during the observation period.
  3. Self-harm risk peaked in the 90 days before treatment initiation, with a pooled adjusted IRR of 2.58.
  4. The risk was lower during the initial 90 days of treatment (IRR: 1.78) and lowest during later treatment periods (IRR: 1.27).
  5. Findings suggest that ADHD medications are unlikely to be the primary driver of self-harm, emphasizing the need for timely diagnosis and monitoring.
