Mashup Score: 3Heterogeneity in allospecific T cell function in transplant-tolerant hosts determines susceptibility to rejection following infection - 14 day(s) ago
Even when successfully induced, immunological tolerance to solid organs remains vulnerable to inflammatory insults, which can trigger rejection. In a mouse model of cardiac allograft tolerance in which infection with Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) precipitates …

Mashup Score: 1Development and validation of a rapid visual technique for left ventricular hypertrophy detection from the electrocardiogram - 8 month(s) ago
IntroductionLeft ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) detection techniques on by electrocardiogram (ECG) are cumbersome to remember with modest performance. This study validated a rapid technique for LVH detection and measured its performance against other techniques.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of patients at Stanford Health Care who received ECGs and resting transthoracic echocardiograms (TTE) from 2006 through 2018. The novel technique, Witteles-Somani (WS), assesses for S- and R-wave overlap on adjacent precordial leads. The WS, Sokolow-Lyon, Cornell, and Peguero-Lo Presti techniques were algorithmically implemented on ECGs. Classification metrics, receiver-operator curves, and Pearson correlations measured performance. Age- and sex-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models evaluated associations between incident cardiovascular outcomes and each technique.ResultsA total of 53,333 ECG-TTE pairs from 18,873 patients were identified. Of all ECG-TTE pairs, 21,638 (40.6%) had TTE

Mashup Score: 6
IntroductionIt is difficult to assign a precise date to the birth of the field of cardio-oncology. Although cardiac effects of anthracyclines have been known for decades, the field as we now know it truly emerged in the early to mid-2000s, largely in response to recognized cardiac toxicities from trastuzumab and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors. Since that time, the field has…
