Analysis of myocardial infarction incidence and case-fatality in the last three decades in the province of Girona.

Introduction And Objectives: Myocardial infarction (MI) incidence and case fatality trends are highly informative but relatively untested at the population level. The objective of this work was to estimate MI incidence and case fatality in the Girona population aged 35-74 years, and to determine their 30-year trends (1990-2019).

Methods: The REGICOR (Girona Heart Registry) monitored MI incidence and case fatality rates from 1990 to 2008.

SRF617 Is a Potent Inhibitor of CD39 with Immunomodulatory and Antitumor Properties.

CD39 (ENTPD1) is a key enzyme responsible for degradation of extracellular ATP and is upregulated in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Extracellular ATP accumulates in the TME from tissue damage and immunogenic cell death, potentially initiating proinflammatory responses that are reduced by the enzymatic activity of CD39. Degradation of ATP by CD39 and other ectonucleotidases (e.

A novel presentation of alcohol-induced gastric necrosis: a case report.

Acute gastric necrosis is a rare condition with unknown pathogenesis. Existing literature describes acute esophageal necrosis as a result of excessive alcohol use; however, it is more difficult to find literature on alcohol-induced gastric necrosis. This condition may present with epigastric tenderness, vomiting or diarrhea with findings of pneumoperitoneum, gastric pneumatosis and portal venous gas on computed tomography.

CD73 Inhibits cGAS-STING and Cooperates with CD39 to Promote Pancreatic Cancer.

The ectonucleotidases CD39 and CD73 catalyze extracellular ATP to immunosuppressive adenosine, and as such, represent potential cancer targets. We investigated biological impacts of CD39 and CD73 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) by studying clinical samples and experimental mouse tumors. Stromal CD39 and tumoral CD73 expression significantly associated with worse survival in human PDAC samples and abolished the favorable prognostic impact associated with the presence of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells.

Cytomegalovirus Hepatitis in Allograft Livers May Show Histologic Features of Acute Cellular Rejection.

Context.—: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) hepatitis in allograft livers is an important infectious complication, with histology that historically has been described to overlap with that of acute cellular rejection (ACR), a diagnosis that compels a different treatment regimen.

Objective.
