Aim: To study the associations between risk factors, clinical characteristics, severity of brachiocephalic artery (BCA) atherosclerosis and severity of coronary artery (CA) disease in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Material And Methods: The study included patients with any type of ACS and obstructive coronary artery disease confirmed by coronary angiography. A quantitative analysis of coronary angiography data was performed with an assessment of the number of CAs with significant stenosis and calculation of the SYNTAX score.
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a debilitating widespread chronic pain condition of unclear pathophysiology. We studied small noncoding RNAs as potential classifiers and mediators of FMS. Blood and keratinocyte microRNAs (miRs) and transfer RNA fragments (tRFs) were profiled by small RNA-sequencing within a comprehensively phenotyped female cohort of 53 patients with FMS vs 34 healthy controls (hCOs) and 15 patients with major depression and chronic physical pain (disease controls).

Objectives: This prospective single-center case-control study provides detailed pain phenotyping and small fiber pathology data in a cohort of men with FMS on a morphological and functional level.
Methods: Forty-two men with FMS underwent a comprehensive pain-related interview and neurological examination, a questionnaire and neurophysiological assessment, and specialized small fiber tests: skin punch biopsy, quantitative sensory testing including C-tactile afferents, and corneal confocal microscopy.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze clinical data from patients with non-obstructive ischemic heart disease (IHD) and multifocal atherosclerosis (MFA) in the KAMMA registry, focusing on those who underwent coronary angiography (CAG).
- Out of 1,893 IHD patients, only 8.7% had non-obstructive coronary atherosclerosis (CA), with many affected by MFA in various arteries, especially the brachiocephalic and lower extremity arteries.
- Patients with non-obstructive CA, predominantly women, had fewer traditional risk factors like smoking and diabetes, but higher cholesterol levels; they also experienced less severe IHD and acute coronary syndrome compared to those with obstructive
Introduction: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and small fiber neuropathy (SFN) are distinct pain conditions that share commonalities and may be challenging as for differential diagnosis.
Objective: To comprehensively investigate clinical characteristics of women with FMS and SFN to determine clinically applicable parameters for differentiation.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed medical records of 158 women with FMS and 53 with SFN focusing on pain-specific medical and family history, accompanying symptoms, additional diseases, and treatment.
