Objectives: To determine the one-year and five-year occurrence and prognosticators of major adverse cardiac events (MACE: composition of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, and vessel thrombosis), mortality, and target lesion revascularization (TLR) in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) treated with drug-eluting balloons (DEBs).
Background: DEBs have become an emerging therapeutic option for ISR. We report the results of a single-center retrospective study on the treatment of ISR with DEB.
Article Synopsis
- Influenza B can lead to rare cases of cardiogenic shock, as demonstrated by a patient without pre-existing heart disease who developed myocarditis.
- The patient's condition worsened, resulting in complications such as rhabdomyolysis, compartment syndrome, renal failure, and pneumonia.
- Successful treatment included Oseltamivir, renal replacement therapy, antimicrobials, and intubation, highlighting the need for prompt recognition and management of such cases.
Infective endocarditis caused by , a commensal organism commonly found in dog saliva, is uncommon. We describe a case of a 76-year-old male with native aortic and mitral valve endocarditis with ventricular-atrial fistulization due to . He was successfully treated with intravenous antimicrobials and surgery.

Zoonotic HEV cases have been increasingly described in Europe, Japan, and the United States, with pigs representing the main animal reservoir of infection. We report an unusual acute hepatitis infection in a previously healthy man caused by a rat HEV with a considerably divergent genomic sequence compared with other rat HEV strains.

Children with painful conditions commonly present to emergency departments (EDs), a setting in which it may be particularly difficult to consistently provide timely analgesic interventions.
Objectives: To measure the effectiveness of a set of interventions in improving the rate and timeliness of analgesic medication administration, as well as appropriate backslab immobilization (application of a moldable plaster or fiberglass splint), in a pediatric ED.
