Could environmental exposure and climate change Be a key factor in the rising incidence of early onset colorectal cancer?

The emergence of early onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) is believed to result from the complex interplay between external environmental factors and internal molecular processes. This review investigates the potential association between environmental exposure to chemicals and climate change and the increased incidence of EOCRC, focusing on their effects on gut microbiota (GM) dynamics. The manuscript explores the birth cohort effect, suggesting that individuals born after 1950 may be at higher risk of developing EOCRC due to cumulative environmental exposures.

Advancements and challenges in cardiac amyloidosis imaging: A comprehensive review of novel techniques and clinical applications.

Cardiac amyloidosis, characterized by amyloid fibril deposition in the myocardium, leads to restrictive cardiomyopathy and heart failure. This review explores recent advancements in imaging techniques for diagnosing and managing cardiac amyloidosis, highlighting their clinical applications, strengths, and limitations. Echocardiography remains a primary, non-invasive imaging modality but lacks specificity.

Fibromuscular Dysplasia Implicated in Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD): A Case Report of Chest Pain in Young Women.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a well-recognized cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) which can lead to myocardial infarction and sudden death. Unlike typical atherosclerosis, SCAD operates through distinct pathophysiology, affecting both individuals with and without conventional cardiovascular risk factors. We present a case of a young female presented with retrosternal chest pain radiating to the left arm, mimicking ACS symptoms with mildly elevated troponin levels, and slightly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (45%).

Contribution of preoperative ultrasound-guided implantation of a magnetic seed for optimal localization and resection of vulvar angiosarcoma: A case report.

Introduction: Vulvar cancer is a rare cause of malignancy among women. It is key for surgeons to achieve negative resection margins, as it greatly impacts patient's prognosis. Unfortunately, additional surgical procedures are often performed due to the regional anatomical complexity.

Towards technology, economy, energy and environment oriented simultaneous optimization of ammonia production process: Further analysis of green process.

Ammonia is one of the most produced chemicals around the world due to its various uses. However its traditional production process is associated with high fossil fuel consumption. To avoid this, the production of green ammonia can be done, and one of the considered production methods is water electrolysis, where the hydrogen needed for the manufacturing of ammonia is produced using solar energy.
