Cryoablation induces systemic metabolic changes in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Cryoablation (CRYO) is a novel catheter ablation technique for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, uncertainty persists regarding the role of metabolic modifications associated with CRYO. This study was aimed at exploring whether CRYO influences the metabolic signature – a possibility not previously investigated. Paired serum samples from patients with AF (n = 10) were collected before and 24 h after CRYO. Untargeted metabolomic analysis was conducted with LC-MS. Univariate and multivariate analyses were applied to identify differential metabolites between samples. Pathway enrichment and Pearson correlation analyses were performed to reveal the perturbed metabolic pathways and potential interactions. Levels of 19 metabolites showed significant changes between baseline and 24 h after CRYO. Pathway analysis revealed that the perturbed metabolites were enriched in unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis, retrograde endocannabinoid signaling, and neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions. Pearson correlation analysis indicated strong correlations among differential ...

Optimizing patient care with the best risk scores

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Risk prediction models are an important part of assessing operative mortality and postoperative complication rates in current cardiac surgery practice. Furthermore, they guide clinical decision-making and perioperative patient management. In recent years, a variety of clinical prediction models have been developed in China and other countries to assess the risk of mortality and complications after cardiac surgery. Currently, the most widely used and mature models are the new version of the European Cardiac Surgery Evaluation System (EuroSCORE II), the American Society of Thoracic Surgeons Cardiac Surgery Risk Model (STS score), and the Chinese Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Risk Evaluation System (SinoSCORE). This article reviews the application of these three risk prediction models, to identify the optimal model for guiding clinical practice.

Invivyd Seeks EUA for Monoclonal Antibody Designed to Prevent COVID-19 in Immunocompromised Individuals

Pharmaceutical Executive Editorial Staff VYD222 is a broadly neutralizing, half-life extended monoclonal antibody developed specifically to prevent COVID-19 in immunocompromised adults and adolescents. Invivyd, Inc. has filed a request with the FDA for emergency use authorization (EUA) for VYD222, a broadly neutralizing, half-life extended monoclonal antibody developed specifically to prevent COVID-19 in immunocompromised adults and adolescents. The EUA submission was based on positive initial findings from the pivotal Phase III CANOPY clinical trial for VYD222 and data for ongoing in vitro neutralization activity against relevant COVID-19 variants. VYD222 was found to demonstrate a potent response against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants currently circulating, including the fastest growing variant in the United States, JN.1, as well as HV.1, BA.2.86, XBB.1.5.10/EG.5, and HK.3. “We are tremendously pleased by the fact that VYD222 continues to demonstrate in vitro neutralization activity against the latest dominant variant, JN1, as well as other prevalent SARS-CoV-2 strains,” said Dave ...

Treatment of Orthopedic Postoperative Pain, Hengrui Pharmaceuticals’ New Drug Application for Tegretol Fumarate Injection Accepted

Postoperative pain is acute pain that occurs immediately after surgery. Inadequate management of postoperative pain may lead to a variety of psychological and physiological negative effects, such as persistent pain and the possibility of turning into a chronic state. Opioids are the most commonly used drugs for the treatment of moderate to severe acute and chronic pain. Classical μ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists, including morphine and fentanyl, are among the more potent analgesic classes of opioids and can activate both the G protein-coupled pathway and the β-arrestin2 signaling pathway.Activation of the G protein-coupled pathway is conducive to a potent central analgesic effect, whereas activation of the β-arrestin2 signaling pathway causes gastrointestinal side effects, such as gastrointestinal dysphoria. Side effects. Currently, there are no biased MOR agonists with good analgesic effects and low incidence of adverse effects on the market in China, and there is an unmet clinical need. In December 2023, ...
