Article Synopsis
  • Giant cell myocarditis (GCM) and cardiac sarcoidosis have similar symptoms and tissue characteristics, leading to questions about their relationship on the inflammatory cardiomyopathy spectrum.
  • The case involves a patient who experienced cardiogenic shock linked to GCM, confirmed by biopsy.
  • After a heart transplant, the patient was diagnosed with sarcoidosis using 18-fluorodeoxyglucose PET imaging and another biopsy.

Article Synopsis
  • The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a significant scientific study using a dual-phase xenon chamber located underground in South Dakota to search for dark matter interactions.
  • The study extends existing theories to include relativistic effects, providing new constraints on the interactions between weakly interacting massive particles and nucleons based on their electric and magnetic dipole moments.
  • Results include 90% confidence level limits on the coupling strength of five different interactions, analyzed over a specific energy range, which advances our understanding in particle physics beyond previous nonrelativistic effective field theories.

Aims: Limb salvage surgery (LSS) is the primary treatment option for primary bone malignancy. It involves the removal of bone and tissue, followed by reconstruction with endoprosthetic replacements (EPRs) to prevent amputation. Trabecular metal (TM) collars have been developed to encourage bone ingrowth (osseointegration (OI)) into EPRs.

Article Synopsis
  • * From 2018 to 2021, ticks were collected and analyzed for the presence of B. odocoilei, revealing a 12% overall prevalence in I. scapularis across central and eastern Canada, with higher rates in specific years.
  • * The study highlights the stable establishment of B. odocoilei in tick populations and emphasizes the need for ongoing surveillance to better understand and manage disease transmission.

Objective: In response to the high prevalence and morbidity associated with long COVID (LC), outpatient rehabilitation programmes were created across jurisdictions. We aimed to characterize baseline symptoms and impairments of patients attending outpatient LC rehabilitation.

Design: This study was a retrospective quality-improvement analysis.
