Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) in a patient with immune thrombocytopenia is a rare scenario which is very challenging to manage.
Case Summary: We present a rare case of a patient with immune thrombocytopenic purpura who developed double territory segment-elevation MI with cardiogenic shock. She had an extremely rare presentation with a fresh mobile thrombus in the aortic root which was trap-dooring the right coronary artery ostium and extending into the artery with an embolism into the distal left anterior descending artery.
Brugada phenocopies are conditions that have an electrocardiography (ECG) pattern that mimics typical patterns seen in Brugada syndrome (BS). We report a rare case of a patient who had a Brugada-like ECG pattern caused by ischemia due to strangulation of the septal artery. The patient was treated with thrombolytic therapy after a probable diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), which resulted in hematologic complications.

Modern epidemiological analyses to understand and combat the spread of disease depend critically on access to, and use of, data. Rapidly evolving data, such as data streams changing during a disease outbreak, are particularly challenging. Data management is further complicated by data being imprecisely identified when used.

The products were characterized by electronic absorption and infrared spectroscopy, together with relativistic density functional theory calculations as well as coupled cluster calculations. Vibrational modes at 540 and 617 cm(-1) in argon matrices were assigned to molecular PdF and PdF2, and a band at 692 cm(-1) was assigned to molecular PdF4.

Compared to the isoelectronic reaction of the cyano radical (CN) with acetylene, the replacement of the carbon atom in the cyano group by an isovalent silicon atom has a pronounced effect on the reactivity. Whereas the silicon nitride radical was found to pass an entrance barrier and adds with the nitrogen atom to the acetylene molecule, the cyano radical adds barrierlessly with the carbon atom forming the HCCH(NSi) and HCCH(CN) intermediates, respectively.

Whilst there was no convincing evidence for the formation of HgF(4) under our argon matrix isolation conditions, a new Hg..
