Article Synopsis
- Intracardiac masses, like myxomas, can sometimes be identified following a stroke, but distinguishing them through echocardiography can be challenging.
- A case study involved a 58-year-old man with various health issues who suffered an ischemic stroke; his echocardiogram showed a large mass in the left atrium, leading to a diagnosis of myxoma after surgery.
- Myxomas may not show symptoms for a long time and can be linked to embolic complications, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive, team-based management approach.
Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) possess a pluripotent developmental potential and a stable karyotype. An exception is the frequent loss of one X chromosome in female ESCs derived from inbred mice. In contrast, female ESCs from crosses between different Mus musculus subspecies often maintain two X chromosomes and can model X chromosome inactivation.

According to the limited available data, only small amounts of sertraline are transferred into human milk, yet with a large amount of unexplained interindividual variability. This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic (popPK) model to describe the pharmacokinetics of sertraline during the perinatal period and explain interindividual variability.

Methods And Results: In this retrospective observational study, 166 patients with complex and non-complex procedures were included.
Medication intake during the postpartum period is common with discontinuation of breastfeeding sometimes unnecessarily recommended for fear of adverse effects in the breastfed infant, while exposure through human milk is generally low. The assessment of risks associated with medication intake during breastfeeding is based, among other things, on the little clinical evidence available in specialized sources of information, and on pharmacokinetic principles. A decision-making support is presented to facilitate communication with mothers, foster medication adherence and prevent unnecessary interruption of breastfeeding.
