A 25-year-old man reporting weight loss and constitutional symptoms was empirically treated for tuberculosis. Following acute seizures, the patient underwent cerebral imaging and was diagnosed with multiple nonischemic cerebral lesions. Thoracic imaging revealed fibrosing mediastinitis infiltrating and obscuring the left atrium and left ventricle.

- Biopolymers, like polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), are eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics due to their biodegradability and potential to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
- The use of algal biomass for producing PHAs presents a viable, sustainable solution, as algae can effectively utilize carbon dioxide and wastewater during growth while generating valuable products.
- However, challenges remain in optimizing sugar recovery and PHA yield due to the variability in algal composition and the need for further research on pretreatment methods and microbial processes for commercial-scale production.
Background: Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are often used as primary prevention strategy for sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young individuals. This study analyzed appropriate therapies, complications and inappropriate shocks in the real-world Indian population.
Methods: All patients in the cardiomyopathy cohort under follow up who had ICD implanted as a primary prevention strategy were studied.
Article Synopsis
- Music exists in every society but varies globally, leading researchers to explore universal aspects of music cognition across diverse cultures.
- A study involving 39 groups from 15 countries found that listeners could reproduce random rhythms, revealing a common cognitive feature: a preference for discrete rhythm categories based on small-integer ratios.
- The variations in the importance of these integer ratios across different cultures suggest that while there are universal patterns in how people perceive rhythm, local musical traditions significantly shape these cognitive representations.
Background: Pulmonary artery to left atrium fistula is an unusual structural cause of silent cyanosis. Only less than 100 cases have been reported so far. A high index of clinical suspicion and proper evaluation with bubble contrast echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography (CT) will help to detect this treatable anomaly.
