Article Synopsis
- The study examined how clinical management of nonST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) differs between men and women, focusing on in-hospital events based on biological sex.
- A total of 1,020 patients were enrolled, with women being older and frailer on average; they were less likely to undergo timely coronary angiography compared to men.
- Despite differences in prescribed antithrombotic therapies, there were no significant disparities in the rates of coronary revascularization or in-hospital cardiovascular events between the sexes.
Purpose Of Review: Heart failure (HF) entails poor prognosis, with high morbidity and mortality burden, particularly in elderly patients. Notably, important sex differences have been described between men and women with HF. In this regard, some biological and sociocultural aspects related to sex may play a key role in the different development and prognosis of HF in elderly men and women.

Background: European Guidelines on Myocardial Revascularization recommend clopidogrel loading dose added to acetylsalicylic acid in elective percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). However, there is few evidence supporting this recommendation and other P2Y12 inhibitors have not been tested in these patients.
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different loading doses of clopidogrel and ticagrelor in patients without double antiplatelet therapy and stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) undergoing elective PCI.

Introduction: Chlorambucil is an alkylating agent used in combination with prednisolone for the treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy. Although chlorambucil is generally well-tolerated, it is a myelosuppresive drug that can cause several infections.
Case Presentation: We report the case of an 81-year-old Caucasian male presenting with idiopathic membranous nephropathy who developed fever, cough, dyspnea, pulmonary infiltrates, and abdominal pain shortly after the initiation of treatment with chlorambucil and corticosteroids for nephropathy.
