Magnetic resonance imaging of cardiac metabolism in heart failure: how far have we come?

As one of the highest energy consumer organs in the body, the heart requires tremendous amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to maintain its continuous mechanical work. Fatty acids, glucose, and ketone bodies are the primary fuel source of the heart to generate ATP with perturbations in ATP generation possibly leading to contractile dysfunction. Cardiac metabolic imaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a crucial role in understanding the dynamic metabolic changes occurring in the failing heart, where the cardiac metabolism is deranged.

Ivosidenib induces deep durable remissions in patients with newly diagnosed IDH1-mutant acute myeloid leukemia.

Ivosidenib (AG-120) is an oral, targeted agent that suppresses production of the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate via inhibition of the mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1; mIDH1) enzyme. From a phase 1 study of 258 patients with IDH1-mutant hematologic malignancies, we report results for 34 patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) ineligible for standard therapy who received 500 mg ivosidenib daily. Median age was 76.

Durable Remissions with Ivosidenib in IDH1-Mutated Relapsed or Refractory AML.

Background: Mutations in the gene encoding isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 ( IDH1) occur in 6 to 10% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Ivosidenib (AG-120) is an oral, targeted, small-molecule inhibitor of mutant IDH1.

Methods: We conducted a phase 1 dose-escalation and dose-expansion study of ivosidenib monotherapy in IDH1-mutated AML.

Management of children with solid organ injuries after blunt torso trauma.

Background: Management of children with intra-abdominal solid organ injuries has evolved markedly. We describe the current management of children with intra-abdominal solid organ injuries after blunt trauma in a large multicenter network.

Methods: We performed a planned secondary analysis of a prospective, multicenter observational study of children (<18 years) with blunt torso trauma.

Search for a Charged Higgs Boson Produced in the Vector-Boson Fusion Mode with Decay H(±)→W(±)Z using pp Collisions at √s=8 TeV with the ATLAS Experiment.

A search for a charged Higgs boson, H(±), decaying to a W(±) boson and a Z boson is presented. The search is based on 20.3  fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC.

Chemical compositions, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of essential oils of Piper caninum Blume.

Chemical composition, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the fresh leaves and stems oils of Piper caninum were investigated. A total of forty eight constituents were identified in the leaves (77.9%) and stems (87.
