Ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSOVA) is a rare cardiac condition associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. We herein report a 35-year-old man with a history of ventricular septal defect (VSD). He had a history of interrupted hospital visits and presented to the emergency department with dyspnea, palpitations, and dizziness for a few days.

Case Summary: A 70-year-old male patient presented to our emergency room with chest pain of 10 days' duration.
Aim: Pneumococcal and influenza infections can cause serious morbidity and mortality in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of simultaneous inoculations of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) and trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study.
Article Synopsis
- - An 83-year-old woman experienced dizziness and nausea and was found to have severe heart issues, but coronary angiography indicated no artery blockages.
- - Laboratory tests revealed she had thrombocytopenia, kidney problems, and hemolysis, leading to a diagnosis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).
- - Unfortunately, just before starting treatment, she suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest, and a postmortem exam showed small blood clots in her heart vessels, indicating rapid ischemic cardiomyopathy due to TTP.

Two new bisabolane-type sesquiterpenes, lippidulcine A (3) and epilippidulcine A (4), have been isolated from the aerial parts of Lippia dulcis TREV. along with five known flavonoids, cirsimaritin (5), salvigenin (6), eupatorin (7), 5-hydroxy-6,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone (8) and 5,3'-dihydroxy-6,7,4',5'-tetramethoxyflavone (9), three known phenylethanoid glycosides, decaffeoylverbascoside (10), acteoside (11) and isoacteoside (12), and two known iridoid glucosides, 8-epiloganin (13) and lamiide (14). Their chemical structures have been determined on the basis of spectroscopic data.
