    Abstract: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are abnormal communications between the pulmonary arteries and veins; right-to-left shunts can cause hypoxaemia, emboli to systemic circulation, and brain abscesses. Cyanosis during pregnancy may increase the probability of premature birth or spontaneous abortion and may increase maternal cardiac complications. Case summary We describe a case of a 24-year-old woman with diffuse multiple PAVMs localized to the left inferior lobe and chronic cyanosis. She had increased exertional fatigue and chronic headaches and was New York Heart Association class II, although her rest sitting peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) had remained unchanged at 83% over the past 20 years. She underwent percutaneous embolization with microvascular plugs and hydrogel-coated coils. A microvascular plug was placed as an anchor near the venous sac, followed by hydrogel-coated coil embolization of the proximal pulmonary artery. A total of six sessions of catheter intervention were performed. The embolization was successful, her hypoxaemia was relieved, and she was able to conceive and deliver. Three years have passed since the last session, and SpO2 97% has been maintained. Discussion In the treatment of complex PAVMs, the combination of microvascular plugs and hydrogel-coated coils resulted in shorter procedure time, lower risk of migration of the embolus to the pulmonary veins, and less recanalization and revascularization. Percutaneous embolization of PAVMs resulted in safe delivery for the mother and child.

    Abstract: We evaluated the extent to which studies that tested short message service (SMS)– and application (app)-based interventions for diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) report on factors that inform both internal and external validity as measured by the RE-AIM (Reach, Efficacy/Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework. Materials and Methods We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL (Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature), and IEEE Xplore Digital Library for articles from January 1, 2009, to February 28, 2019. We carried out a multistage screening process followed by email communications with study authors for missing or discrepant information. Two independent coders coded eligible articles using a 23-item validated data extraction tool based on the RE-AIM framework. Results Twenty studies (21 articles) were included in the analysis. The comprehensiveness of reporting on the RE-AIM criteria across the SMS- and app-based DSMES studies was low. With respect to internal validity, most interventions were well described and primary clinical or behavioral outcomes were measured and reported. However, gaps exist in areas of attrition, measures of potential negative outcomes, the extent to which the protocol was delivered as intended, and description on delivery agents. Likewise, we found limited information on external validity indicators across adoption, implementation, and maintenance domains. Conclusions Reporting gaps were found in internal validity but more so in external validity in the current SMS- and app-based DSMES literature. Because most studies in this review were efficacy studies, the generalizability of these interventions cannot be determined. Future research should adopt the RE-AIM dimensions to improve the quality of reporting and enhance the likelihood of translating research to practice.

    Abstract: Hypoplastic coronary artery disease (HCAD) is an extremely rare disease associated with a risk of sudden cardiac death. It is rarely recognized in a live paediatric patient. Case summary We report a case of HCAD in a patient who first presented with vomiting and poor feeding, suggestive of acute heart failure due to cardiomyopathy or acute myocarditis in infancy. Hypertension and signs of ischaemia became evident on electrocardiography and scintigraphy after his cardiac function fully recovered, and he was diagnosed with HCAD by angiography performed at the age of 8 years. He has remained under close observation with anti-hypertensives, aspirin, and exercise restriction. Discussion Although HCAD is a rare disease, it may not only cause ischaemia but may also result in heart failure and sudden cardiac death. It should be considered in any paediatric patient with heart failure. Mid-term follow-up visits might be necessary to detect signs of ischaemia in paediatric patients presenting with features of heart failure.
