The goal of this study was to assess the applicability of a novel classification of patients with tricuspid regurgitation based on 5 stages and to evaluate outcomes following isolated surgical treatment. All patients treated with isolated tricuspid valve repair or tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) from March 1997 to January 2020 at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided according to a novel clinical-functional classification, based on the degree of regurgitation together with symptoms, right ventricular size and function and medical therapy. A total of 195 patients were treated; however, 23/195 were excluded due to lack of sufficient preoperative data. A total of 172 patients were considered; of these, 129 (75%) underwent TVR and 43 (25%) had tricuspid valve repair. The distribution of patients showed that 46.5% of patients who underwent tricuspid valve repair were in stage 2, whereas 51.9% who underwent TVR were in stage 3. TVR patients were in more advanced stages of the disease, with dilated right ventricles, more pronounced symptoms and development of organ damage. Hospital mortality was 5.8%, in particular 0% in stages 2 and 3 and 15.3% in stages 4 and 5 (P < 0.001). FIIN-2 Both intensive care unit and hospital stays were significantly longer in more advanced stages (P < 0.001). Patients in stages 4 and 5 developed more postoperative complications, such as acute kidney injury (3.7-10% in stages 2 and 3 vs 44-100% in stages 4 and 5; P < 0.001) and low cardiac output syndrome (15-50% in stages 2 and 3 vs 71-100% in stages 4 and 5; P < 0.001). Patients in more advanced stages had higher hospital mortality and longer hospitalizations. Timely referral is associated with lower mortality, short postoperative course and mostly valve repair.

The type of content that influences plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) residency program selection and attracts applicants is everchanging and not clearly understood. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on residency selection that is undetermined. The purpose of this study was to determine to what degree and the type of PRS SM content that drives prospective applicants' interest of a residency program, especially in the context of COVID-19. Prospective PRS residency applicants were surveyed anonymously. An average of 60% of respondents reported that PRS social media (SM) content influenced their perception of a program. Fifty-eight percent reported that resident lifestyle content made them gain interest in a program. Separately, 32% reported that resident lifestyle content influenced them to rank a program higher. Seventy-two percent of respondents claimed SM content did not make them lose interest in a program. Rarely posting, outdated content, and lack of engagement were cited asto attract applicants. The detection and prediction of true neoantigens is of great importance for the field of cancer immunotherapy. We searched the literature for proposed neoantigen features and integrated them into a toolbox called NeoFox (NEOantigen Feature toolbOX). NeoFox is an easy-to-use Python package that enables the annotation of neoantigen candidates with 16 neoantigen features. NeoFox is freely available as an open source Python package released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) v3 license at https//github.com/TRON-Bioinformatics/neofox.
