Type I Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection in a 33-Year-Old Male With Clinically Suspected Myopericarditis.

We report a 33-year-old male with uncontrolled type II diabetes, and tobacco and marijuana use who presented with chest pain after a night of binge drinking and vomiting. ECG changes were consistent with acute pericarditis. Troponin levels were found to be significantly elevated and rising.

The Bias of Physicians and Lack of Education in Patients of Color With Melanoma as Causes of Increased Mortality: A Scoping Review.

Minorities, particularly non-White minorities, often encounter implicit biases from healthcare professionals that may impact their standard of care and quality of life. The study of dermatology has long been based on Whites, unintentionally affecting the treatment of non-White patients. Melanoma, although mostly curable, can become fatal in those presenting with advanced stages at diagnosis.

Role of Sirtuins in Diabetes and Age-Related Processes.

The practice of intermittent fasting continues to grow as a widely practiced diet trend due to its feasibility and reported high success rate. By practicing intermittent fasting, levels of sirtuin proteins (SIRTs), also known as the longevity protein, rise in the body and bring numerous health benefits. Currently, seven SIRTs have been described in humans in different locations of the cell with a wide variety of corresponding functions including gene transcription, DNA repair, and protection against oxidative damage.

Potential Therapeutic Treatments for Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiomyopathy.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline antibiotic used to treat many cancers, including breast cancer, leukemia, and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Positive aspects of DOX use are limited by the cardiomyopathy that it may cause. For this reason, it is crucial to uncover effective treatments against DOX-induced cardiomyopathy (DIC).
