Valvular heart disease is common across the globe. We have a good understanding when to treat disease such as severe aortic stenosis. But we know little about normal variation of valvular function and where disease begins. So we looked at the UK biobank. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

You probably remember this picture of the baby who spent 128 hours under rubble after an earthquake in Turkey. It was reported that the baby's mom died. Turns out, the mom is alive! She was treated in a different hospital. After 54 days apart and a DNA test, they are together again. Source: haberet.com
