Among acute mastoiditis (AM) complications, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is particularly severe, leading to increased intracranial pressure and potential neurological sequelae. Predicting the development of such complications is challenging. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the incidence, clinical characteristics, and risk factors for the development of CVST in AM.

Left ventricular hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction, and exercise intolerance are the first signs of DC. The underlying mechanisms are not fully elucidated, and there is an urgent need for specific biomarkers and molecular targets for early diagnosis and treatment.

Central to its pathophysiology is endothelial dysfunction, which contributes to myocardial ischemia despite the absence of significant coronary artery blockage. Addressing endothelial dysfunction is essential in managing INOCA to alleviate symptoms and prevent cardiovascular events.

- The study analyzes 20 years' worth of data on Acute Hemorrhagic Edema of Infancy (AHEI) from a national referral center, involving a retrospective look at patients from 2004 to 2023.
- Out of 21 diagnosed patients, most were young children (median age of 18 months) and presented with prodromal symptoms and cutaneous findings such as targetoid purpuric plaques primarily on the face and upper limbs.
- The results showed a mostly benign course of AHEI with a hospitalization rate of 62%, and there were no significant complications related to the condition.
