Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon non-atherosclerotic etiology of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) characterized by the formation of a false lumen inside the arterial wall, resulting in sudden occlusion of blood flow without any trauma or intervention. The pathogenesis of SCAD is not completely understood, and the association between coronary artery anomalies and SCAD remains unclear. This case study reports a unique occurrence of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in a 43-year-old female patient.

It could also be used as a hydrate inhibitor in natural gas. Recently, the importance of MEG has been increased due to its usage as a supporting emulsifier in diesel engines to reduce NOx and soot emissions, in addition to its usage as an additive to dual fuel diesel engines.

- Enoxaparin, a medication used to treat blood clots, is dosed based on actual body weight, but its effectiveness can vary in obese patients due to distribution differences related to body composition.
- The study evaluated dosing strategies and monitored Antifactor Xa (AFXa) levels in obese patients receiving enoxaparin, reviewing data from 762 patients over a year.
- Results showed no significant link between dosing and AFXa levels, and the rates of treatment failure (2.2%) and bleeding (5%) were comparable to general expectations, indicating that obesity did not independently impact treatment outcomes.
Testicular dysfunction is a common adverse effect of cisplatin (CIS) administration as a chemotherapeutic drug. The current study has outlined the role of micro-RNAs (miR-155 and 34c) in CIS-induced testicular dysfunction and evaluated the protective effect of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) and/or l-arginine (LA). Seven groups of Albino rats were used for this study.

Aims: To determine markers of thrombo-inflammation and rates of symptomatic VTE in patients hospitalised for COVID-19 in a metropolitan hospital in Sydney, Australia.
