Systematic review and meta analysis. ⋯ Staged surgeries for ASD result in longer operative time, length of hospital stay and increased VTE risk but show similar efficacy in clinical and radiological outcomes compared to same-day surgeries. Careful patient selection is crucial to balance risks and optimize outcomes in ASD surgical planning.

Triple-negative breast cancer is an aggressive subtype with a high incidence in young patients, a high incidence in non-Hispanic Black women, and a high risk of progression to metastatic cancer, a devastating sequela with a 12- to 18-month life expectancy. Until recently, one strategy for treating early-stage triple-negative breast cancer was chemotherapy after surgery. However, it was not known whether the addition of immune therapy to postsurgery chemotherapy would be beneficial. ⋯ The addition of the immune therapy drug atezolizumab to chemotherapy after surgery did not provide benefit among patients with triple-negative breast cancer who are at high risk of recurrent disease.

Application of the TRI-SCORE to predict long-term mortality in acute heart failure patients with moderate-severe tricuspid regurgitation.
Moderate‑to‑severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in the setting of acute heart failure (AHF) has been found to be associated with worse clinical outcomes. Recently, the TRI‑SCORE model was developed to predict clinical outcomes after isolated tricuspid surgery. ⋯ The AHF patients with moderate‑to‑severe TR have a poor prognosis during follow‑up. TRI‑SCORE can predict all‑cause mortality in these patients.
