An Unexpected Finding in an Adolescent Rowing Athlete With Angina Pectoris. A Case Report.

Significant intraventricular gradient development during exercise is rare, usually occurring with left ventricular hypertrophy. The etiopathogenesis consists of the increase in nonobstructive physiological gradients; ventricular cavitary obliteration with consequent end-systolic obstruction; and midsystolic obstruction caused by systolic anterior movement of the mitral valve compromising flow. A correlation between intraventricular gradient development and various symptoms has been established.

In Vitro Study of the Differential Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Dietary Phytochemicals upon Human Macrophage-like Cells as a Previous Step for Dietary Intervention.

Chronic inflammatory diseases pose a substantial health challenge globally, significantly contributing to morbidity and mortality. Addressing this issue requires the use of effective anti-inflammatory strategies with fewer side effects than those provoked by currently used drugs. In this study, a range of phytochemicals (phenolic di-caffeoylquinic acid (Di-CQA), flavonoid cyanidin-3,5-diglucoside (Cy3,5DiG), aromatic isothiocyanate sinalbin (SNB) and aliphatic isothiocyanate sulforaphane (SFN)) sourced from vegetables and fruits underwent assessment for their potential anti-inflammatory activity.

Acyclovir Dosing Practices Across a Multicenter Cohort of Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

Background: Acyclovir is the first-line therapy for neonatal herpes simplex virus infections. Therapy can mitigate morbidity and mortality but carries a risk for toxicity. We aimed to compare acyclovir dosing in neonatal intensive care units to published recommendations based on population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) analysis.
