Article Synopsis
- Cardiac fibromas are very rare in adults, with surgery being the preferred treatment, although alternatives like antiarrhythmic drugs and heart transplants exist.* -
- A case of a 42-year-old man revealed a large fibroma causing dangerous heart rhythms, which was diagnosed with imaging techniques and successfully removed through surgery.* -
- These tumors are well-defined and do not invade heart tissue, making surgical removal a viable option for treatment.*
Article Synopsis
- Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) significantly impacts global mortality, and new medications like GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP agonists show promise in reducing alcohol consumption, particularly in individuals with obesity.
- The study included a social media analysis of posts related to these medications on Reddit, revealing themes around medication effects, diabetes, and notable mentions of craving reduction and decreased desire to drink in 71% of alcohol-related posts.
- A remote study with 153 participants showed that those taking GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP agonists reported significantly lower alcohol consumption, binge drinking, and related negative effects compared to a control group, indicating the potential for these medications to help treat AUD in obese individuals.

Neuroprotective drugs to protect the brain against cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury are urgently needed. Mammalian cell-produced recombinant human erythropoietin (rhuEPO) has been demonstrated to have excellent neuroprotective functions in preclinical studies, but its neuroprotective properties could not be consistently translated in clinical trials. The clinical failure of rhuEPO was thought to be mainly due to its erythropoietic activity-associated side effects.

Background: AKI results in substantial morbidity and cost following PCI. Prior studies comparing the occurrence of AKI associated with radial artery (RA) versus femoral artery (FA) access have mixed results.
