We sought to evaluate the intracardiac morphology and associated cardiovascular anomalies in patients with double inlet right ventricle (DIRV) on multidetector CT angiography. A retrospective search of our departmental database was conducted from January 2014 to January 2023 to identify patients with a diagnosis of DIRV on CT angiography. The intracardiac anatomy and associated cardiovascular abnormalities were systematically evaluated.

- Blood-based biomarkers like p-tau217 are being studied for their effectiveness in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD), but previous research has mainly focused on non-Hispanic White populations, leading to a knowledge gap across different ethnic backgrounds.
- A new study involving Peruvians, including mestizos and indigenous groups, examined plasma p-tau217 in 525 individuals, revealing significant associations between the biomarker and AD, especially in those with the APOE-e4 allele, although it did not distinguish between healthy controls and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
- The results indicated that p-tau217 levels correlated well with cognitive performance and had an impressive classification performance (ROC-AUC of 82.82%), marking a significant contribution to understanding AD in diverse
Isolation of left brachiocephalic artery in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot.
Ann Pediatr Cardiol
November 2024
We present the case of a 4-year-old girl with tetralogy of Fallot associated with an incidentally detected isolation of the left brachiocephalic artery, with no communication between it and the pulmonary artery or ductus arteriosus. The case highlights the unusual association and hemodynamic consequences of the condition.

- Desmodesmus pannonicus IITISM-DIX2 was found to be more effective than Chlorella sorokiniana IITISM-DIX3 in breaking down caffeine, leading to the creation of a predictive artificial neural network (ANN) model for caffeine removal efficiency.
- The ANN model, structured with a 4-15-1 multilayer perceptron, exhibited high accuracy with a correlation coefficient (R) over 0.96, showing that pH was the most important variable impacting caffeine degradation.
- Indole acetic acid (IAA) not only improved lipid content in Desmodesmus by 91% in caffeine-laden wastewater but also positively influenced metabolic pathways, highlighting its potential in enhancing caffeine removal
Objective: The present study sought to compare the reliability and radiation dose of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring using low tube current (16 mAs), low kilo-voltage peak (100 kVp) and advanced modelled iterative reconstruction (ADMIRE 5) with the standard protocol (80 mAs, 120 kVp, ADMIRE 3).
Material And Methods: A prospective single centre study including 200 consecutive patients with suspected coronary artery disease referred for CT coronary angiography was conducted. All 200 patients underwent CAC scoring using the low current-low kVp protocol as well as standard protocol and were subdivided into a derivation and validation cohorts.
