Article Synopsis
- Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery is a rare condition where a coronary artery starts from an unusual spot in the aorta, which can lead to serious heart issues, especially in young athletes.
- A study of 16 adult patients who had surgical repair showed that the majority underwent a technique called unroofing, with no deaths or major complications reported during the follow-up period.
- The results indicate that surgical treatments like unroofing and neo-ostium creation lead to excellent outcomes, with all patients surviving and no significant health problems during an average follow-up of nearly 74 months.
Background: The same executive dysfunctions and alterations in neuroimaging tests (both functional and structural) have been found in obsessive-compulsive patients and their first-degree relatives. These neurobiological findings are considered to be intermediate markers of the disease. The aim of our study was to assess verbal and non-verbal memory in unaffected first-degree relatives, in order to determine whether these neuropsychological functions constitute a new cognitive marker for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

One of these situations is the treatment of lung tumors, where irradiation has to be planned under challenging conditions for dose calculation. In this study we assess the errors in dose values predicted by fast Fourier transform convolution (FFTC) and multigrid superposition (MGS) algorithms implemented in a commercial treatment planning system (TPS).
