Factors Responsible for Worse Outcomes in STEMI Patients With Early vs Delayed Treatment Presenting in a Tertiary Care Center in a Third World Country.

The aim of the study is to compare the outcomes among ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) cases with early treatment vs delayed treatment. It was a prospective comparative study on 186 patients with consecutive (nonprobability) sampling. Two groups of cases were made as per their time to get admitted to the hospital (ie, within 2 hours of symptom onset = Group A; after 2 hours of symptom onset = Group B).

Possible Isolated Pulmonic Valve Endocarditis in a Patient With Sickle Cell Disease: A Case Report.

Pulmonic valve endocarditis is a rare and clinically elusive identity, commonly associated with congenital heart malformations and intravenous (IV) drug abuse. We describe a case of a 40-year-old male who has established sickle cell disease and presented with pain crisis, febrile episodes, and oxygen desaturation on room air. The clinical presentation and echocardiographic findings of a pulmonic mass were consistent with the diagnosis of pulmonic valve endocarditis.

Chemical composition of (Forssk.) bunge and Desf. and evaluation of their multiple biological potentials.

Medicinal plants largely serve as a source of bioactive compounds in traditional medicines to cure various diseases. The present study was aimed at chemical composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic and antihemolytic potential of five different extracts of G. hispida and (Boraginaceae).

Epipericardial Fat Necrosis: A Concise Review of Literature.

Epipericardial fat necrosis (EFN) is an inflammatory process that occurs in the mediastinal fat surrounding the heart. It is a rare cause of acute chest pain and mimics more ominous clinical conditions such as acute coronary syndrome, aortic dissection, and pulmonary embolism. Clinicians are often not familiar with this condition due to its infrequent occurrence, and traditional textbooks of medicine and cardiology have not covered this topic adequately.

Antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antioxidants, enzyme inhibition activities, and scanning electron microscopy of Lactuca orientalis (Boiss.) Boiss. seeds.

Lactuca orientalis (Boiss.) Boiss. is one of the most frequently used ethnomedicinal plant.

Phytofabrication of cobalt oxide nanoparticles from Rhamnus virgata leaves extract and investigation of different bioactivities.

The tunable cobalt oxide nanoparticles (CoONPs) are produced due to the phytochemicals present in Rhamnus virgata (RhV) leaf extract which functions as reducing and stabilization agents. The synthesis of CoONPs was confirmed using different analytical techniques: UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamics light scatterings (DLS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive X-ray, and Raman spectroscopy analyses. Furthermore, multiple biological activities were performed.

Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Associated With Clostridium Difficile Infection.

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), defines as non-Shiga toxin HUS, is thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, consumptive thrombocytopenia, and renal impairment. aHUS is associated with high morbidity and mortality, necessitating the need for an early diagnosis to limit target organ damage. Mutations or autoantibodies against specific complement factors over-activate the complement system forming microthrombi.

Environmentally friendly green approach for the fabrication of silver oxide nanoparticles: Characterization and diverse biomedical applications.

In the present study, green silver nanoparticles (Ag ONPs) were prepared from aqueous and ethanolic leaves extract of Rhamnus virgata in a facile, green, cost-effective, and eco-friendly way. The color changes from light brown to brownish black determined the synthesis of Ag ONPs and Ag ONPs . The phytofabrication of Ag ONPs was confirmed using various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques: energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray powder diffraction, Raman, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.

Sarcomatous Transformation of Recurrent Scapular Osteochondroma in a Patient with the Hereditary Multiple Osteochondromas: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Hereditary multiple osteochondromas (HMO) is an autosomal dominant disease diagnosed by the presence of two or more than two osteochondromas on radiographs. The majority of cases are asymptomatic.
