Superiority of photon-counting computed tomography for detecting high-risk unstable angina patients: two case reports.

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death among non-communicable diseases. The management strategy prioritizes early detection and optimal treatment, with emerging roles for imaging approaches. Photon-counting computed tomography is a new non-invasive diagnostic imaging tool that can detect high-risk plaques in coronary artery disease patients.

Endovascular intervention with intravascular ultrasound guidance of very early dissection complication in transplant renal artery: a case report and literature review.

Background: Transplant renal artery dissection (TRAD) is a rare and serious event that can cause allograft dysfunction and eventually graft loss. Most cases are managed by operative repair. We report a case of TRAD in the early postoperative period, which was successfully managed with intravascular ultrasound-assisted endovascular intervention.

Mid-term safe and effective profile of the Magmaris scaffold in percutaneous coronary intervention: a prospective, single-center study.

Introduction: Significant advances have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease over the years. New generations of scaffolds containing novel material and eluting drug have produced one of the most significant advancements in coronary intervention. The newest generation would be Magmaris with a magnesium frame and a sirolimus cover.

A Case of Kounis Syndrome Presenting as Coronary Artery Spasm Associated with Acetaminophen Infusion.

BACKGROUND Kounis syndrome is a hypersensitive coronary disorder triggered by drugs, food, and environmental factors. A 38-year-old male patient with acetaminophen-induced type 1 Kounis syndrome is described. The purpose of this paper is to show that Kounis syndrome is a serious condition that may be linked to a common medication and that it should be recognized earlier in clinical practice.

Survival in resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with para-aortic lymph node dissection: A retrospective study in Vietnamese population.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a high recurrence rate and poor outcome. Lymph node (LN) metastasis, especially para-aortic LN (PALN), is an important prognostic factor. PALN assessment through sampling with frozen-section analysis is a validated method.

Automated quantification of the synchrogram by recurrence plot analysis.

Recently, the concept of phase synchronization of two weakly coupled oscillators has raised a great research interest and has been applied to characterize synchronization phenomenon in physiological data. Phase synchronization of cardiorespiratory coupling is often studied by a synchrogram analysis, a graphical tool investigating the relationship between instantaneous phases of two signals. Although several techniques have been proposed to automatically quantify the synchrogram, most of them require a preselection of a phase-locking ratio by trial and error.
