  1. Situs inversus totalis with mirror-image dextrocardia presents unique challenges during cardiac surgery due to reversed anatomy.
  2. Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery requires careful preoperative imaging and planning to navigate altered anatomical relationships.
  3. A three-dimensional totally endoscopic approach was utilized for mitral valve repair in a patient with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation.
  4. The surgical team employed a left-sided approach, adjusting retractor angles to accommodate the mirror-image anatomy during the procedure.
  5. Standard right-handed instruments were used effectively, demonstrating that dedicated left-handed tools were unnecessary in this case.

  1. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disorder affecting younger adults, leading to significant work-related challenges for employees with MS (ewMS).
  2. Up to 80% of ewMS may stop working within 15 years of diagnosis, impacting their financial security and social integration.
  3. Workplace stressors for ewMS include environmental factors, stigma, and inadequate support, which can exacerbate MS symptoms.
  4. Resources such as flexible work arrangements, social support, and ergonomic adjustments can positively influence the work capacity of ewMS.
  5. This study employs qualitative methods to explore the interplay of stressors and resources affecting symptoms and work ability among ewMS in Germany.

Understanding Incremental Propensity Score Approaches: A Guide for Pharmacoepidemiologists
  • Byeong Yeob Choi
  • September 24, 2026
  1. Average treatment effects (ATEs) in pharmacoepidemiology compare outcomes under hypothetical full treatment versus no treatment.
  2. Positivity violations in treatment assignment can lead to substantial bias in causal effect estimators in observational studies.
  3. Incremental propensity score interventions (IPSIs) allow for modifying treatment probabilities without strict positivity requirements.
  4. IPSIs estimate the causal impact of changing treatment probabilities, reflecting realistic policy changes in clinical practice.
  5. The augmented inverse probability weighting (AIPW) method enhances estimator precision and remains consistent under certain model specifications.

  1. Demographic shifts and chronic conditions are increasing demands on healthcare systems, exacerbating workforce burnout and exhaustion.
  2. Employee-initiated innovation in healthcare is often underrepresented and lacks necessary organizational and technical resources.
  3. The proposed methodology includes three stages: observing, uncovering, and pruning, to analyze and improve healthcare workflows.
  4. The observing phase involves documenting daily workflows by a diverse group of observers to identify inefficiencies.
  5. The uncovering phase focuses on identifying unmet needs in healthcare staff workflows without introducing solution bias.
