Management of Type III Occipital Condyle Fractures.

Occipital condyle fractures (OCFs) can be seen in around 4-19% of patients who suffer from cervical spine trauma. Anderson and Montesano system type III OCFs, which are avulsion fractures, are potentially unstable and operative. This study evaluates the management of type III OCFs at our institution over a 22-year period.

Myocardial ischaemia following COVID-19: a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study.

The pathophysiology of myocardial injury following COVID-19 remains uncertain. COVID-HEART was a prospective, multicentre study utilising cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to characterise COVID-related myocardial injury. In this pre-specified analysis, the objectives were to examine (1) the frequency of myocardial ischaemia following COVID-19, and (2) the association between ischaemia and myocardial injury.

Genome assembly and annotation of microalga C018.

The microalga is an important organism for algae-based biocommodity production of food, feed, and fuel, among other products. Using PacBio Revio, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated a 26.41 Mbp C018 genome.

Haemodynamic and hyperaemic effects of adenosine in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing quantitative myocardial perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

Aims: Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are thought to have an attenuated response to adenosine during vasodilator stress testing. We sought to investigate the haemodynamic and hyperaemic effects of adenosine in patients with AF undergoing adenosine-stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) assessment.

Methods And Results: We retrospectively examined 318 patients referred for clinical adenosine-stress CMR (AF = 158, sinus rhythm [SR] = 160).

Preclinical Evidence for a Drug-Drug Interaction Between Cannabinol and Melatonin.

The worldwide legalization of medicinal cannabis has led to an increased use of products made by commercial operators. These products often contain minor cannabinoids such as cannabinol (CBN) which are advertised to improve sleep. Products are also available in which CBN is combined with conventional therapies, with a common product containing both CBN and the widely used sleep-aid melatonin.
