Aims: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the North Africa and Middle East (NAME) region. Due to the paucity of research on this issue, we aimed to estimate the burden of CVD and its attributable risk factors in the NAME region.
Methods And Results: Data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) were retrieved to estimate the incidence, prevalence, deaths, years of life lost, years lived with disability, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for CVD across 21 countries and both sexes.
Objectives: Recent studies have suggested a potential link between opium consumption and microvascular dysfunction in coronary arteries, which may contribute to the development of coronary slow-flow syndrome. This study aims to investigate the relationship between opium use and coronary slow-flow syndrome.
Design And Setting: This retrospective study analysed medical records of patients who underwent coronary angiography at the Tehran Heart Center from 2006 to 2020.
Multipotent mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) refer to a population of stem cells that exhibit distinct progenitor cell characteristics including the potential for differentiation into a wide range of cell types. MSCs have become a promising candidate for cell therapy and tissue regeneration due to their unique properties, such as their ability to differentiate into multiple cell types, their capacity for expansion, self-renewal, and immune-regulatory effects. However, reports have brought attention to thrombosis-related complications associated with MSCs therapy in the last decade.

- Phonology plays a key role in reading development, but research on how autistic children process speech sounds and their reading abilities is limited.
- A study involving 56 kindergarteners (28 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and 28 typically developing (TD) peers) examined how they reacted to speech sounds through auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) and measured their reading skills at the start and end of kindergarten.
- Results indicated that autistic children with lower reading skills showed distinct neural responses to new versus old sounds, and these EEG measures could predict later word recognition abilities, suggesting that understanding these neural processes could help address reading difficulties in children with ASD.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the effectiveness of different antithrombotic strategies in preventing coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) complications in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD).
- - Results from the analysis of 21 studies indicated that combining warfarin with aspirin significantly reduced the risk of myocardial infarction and mortality compared to aspirin alone, though no major differences were found in overall cardiovascular events.
- - It concluded that adding high-dose aspirin to the standard IVIG treatment during the acute phase of KD does not provide additional benefits.
