A recurrent typical angina pectoris without any finding in coronary angiography: Microvascular angina.

Key Clinical Message: Microvascular angina (MVA) can present with recurrent chest pain and normal coronary angiography. Recognizing MVA is crucial as it significantly impacts patient morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis and management with antianginal medications are essential for improving outcomes and quality of life.

Successful management of a delayed presentation of traumatic descending thoracic aorta pseudoaneurysm: a literature review based on a case report.

Background: Blunt traumatic aortic injury (BTAI) is the second leading cause of death due to traumas in young patients. The primary presentation might be chest or interscapular pain, difficulty in breathing, and, in severe cases, hypotension. Considering the rapid deterioration of these patients' clinical conditions, prompt diagnosis and treatment initiation are crucial.

Iatrogenic combined common iliac and lateral sacral artery perforation during coronary angiography: A case report and review of literature.

Key Clinical Message: Arterial rupture is one of the rare but known and devastating complications of the angiogram, which can ultimately lead to loss of limb and life. Therefore, it is recommended that this complication be included in the consent form and that the operator and the logistics team be prepared for this scenario. Moreover, categorizing the patients based on risk factors to be more cautious during the procedure for high-risk patients can be considered a reasonable strategy.

Mechanical prosthetic valve thrombosis: A literature review of treatment strategies.

Mechanical prosthetic valve thrombosis (MPVT) is a common complication of valvular implantations. This study compared the efficacy and safety of different treatments for MPVT. A systematic search of electronic databases identified studies evaluating surgical, anticoagulant, and thrombolytic therapies.

Ventricular Septal Defect and Mitral Regurgitation Due to Penetrating Cardiac Trauma; a Case Report and Review of Literature.

Penetrating cardiac trauma is a fatal condition and can result in the injury of various parts of the heart. Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) following these traumas occurs only in 1-5% of cases. The patients' conditions depend on location, size, and concomitant injuries.

Videographic analysis of blink dynamics in patients with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, myogenic ptosis, and facial nerve palsy using smartphone camera: A comparative analysis.

Background And Aims: Congenital myogenic ptosis (CMP), chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO), and facial nerve palsy (FNP) are among the disorders which can seriously affect the blink dynamics of patients. Smartphone videography is a simple, convenient, and inexpensive way to capture eyelid movement. This study has measured and compared a variety of blink dynamics in these patients compared to healthy controls using 2-dimensional smartphone videography to enhance the utility of this method in both clinical and research settings.

The effect of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy in type II diabetes mellitus patients: A clinical trial.

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most threatening complications of diabetes and a leading cause of visual loss in working-age population. Although exercise is beneficial in diabetes, previous studies have showed contradictory and inconclusive results on how it effects DR. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
