Circadian influences on sudden cardiac death and cardiac electrophysiology.

Cardiologists have analyzed daily patterns in the incidence of sudden cardiac death to identify environmental, behavioral, and physiological factors that trigger fatal arrhythmias. Recent studies have indicated an overall increase in sudden cardiac arrest during daytime hours when the frequency of arrhythmogenic triggers is highest. The risk of fatal arrhythmias arises from the interaction between these triggers-such as elevated sympathetic signaling, catecholamine levels, heart rate, afterload, and platelet aggregation-and the heart's susceptibility (myocardial substrate) to them.

Case report: Canadian consensus on chlormethine gel use in mycosis fungoides-CTCL: literature review and real-world experience.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), representing the majority of all lymphomas arising in the skin. The disease treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preventing disease evolution. To date, there is no gold standard for MF-CTCL treatment.

The core circadian clock factor, Bmal1, transduces sex-specific differences in both rhythmic and non-rhythmic gene expression in the mouse heart.

It has been well established that cardiovascular diseases exhibit significant differences between sexes in both preclinical models and humans. In addition, there is growing recognition that disrupted circadian rhythms can contribute to the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases. However, little is known about sex differences between the cardiac circadian clock and circadian transcriptomes in mice.
