Article Synopsis
  • - A 66-year-old man experienced increasing exertional chest pain, quickly worsening from NYHA class 2 to class 3, prompting medical investigation despite the lack of a clear trigger.
  • - ECG results indicated changes typical of Wellens' syndrome, usually linked to serious left anterior descending artery blockages, yet initial checks showed no significant atherosclerosis.
  • - Advanced imaging techniques, including coronary angiography and cardiac CT, identified a severe myocardial bridge in the LAD artery, highlighting the need to consider congenital anomalies in cardiac diagnosis and the importance of early recognition for effective treatment.

Background: Opportunistic fungal infections like oral candidiasis account for a significant amount of morbidity in HIV disease and an indicator of immune suppression. Fluconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that has been extensively used in the management of oral, candidiasis. Highly efficacious fluconazole is also known to have systemic toxicity due to high drug interaction and hence the present study focuses on the formulation of bioadhesive film as a controlled release carrier for fluconazole.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to investigate how the shape of the mastoid process can help determine a person's sex using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 200 adults (100 males and 100 females).
  • Eight specific measurements of the mastoid process were analyzed, with results showing significant differences between males and females, particularly in mastoid height and intermastoidale distance, which were larger in males.
  • The findings suggest that the mastoid's intermastoidale distance is the best indicator for sex determination, achieving an accuracy of 70%, while a combination of mastoid height, length, and lateral surface distance improved accuracy to 75%, highlighting the importance of these measurements in forensic identification.
