Article Synopsis
- Hypovitaminosis D is linked to the development of atherosclerosis and is more common in women, but its specific effects on coronary artery disease (CAD) severity between genders are not well understood.
- A study involving 1,484 patients with acute myocardial infarction found that women had significantly lower vitamin D levels and a higher prevalence of severe CAD when experiencing hypovitaminosis D compared to those without it.
- Furthermore, women with both hypovitaminosis D and diabetes mellitus faced over three times the risk of severe CAD compared to those without either condition.
Background And Aims: Vitamin D deficiency is a common cardiovascular risk factor associated with the development of atherosclerosis. We evaluated changes in 25(OH)D concentrations in 1510 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) over a long observation period, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods And Results: Patients were separated into four groups according to the year of enrolment, group 1 (2009-2010), group 2 (2014-2016), group 3 (2017-2019), and group 4 (2020-2022).
There are different cancers in the peri-ampullary region, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), duodenum cancers (DCs), and ampullary adenocarcinoma (AAC). Here, significant morphological-molecular characterizations should be necessary for the distinction of primary tumours and classifications of their subtypes of cancers. The sub classification of AACs might include up to five different variants, according to different points of view, concerning the prevalence of the two more-cellular components found in the ampulla.

The aim of this paper is to compare the cases of RSV infection diagnosed in recent years to the cases recorded during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic to November 2022.
Materials And Methods: The study consisted of evaluating the results of requests for RSV diagnosis from 2015 to November 2022, using molecular biology techniques.
