Assessing the Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Activity of Mangiferin in Murine Model for Myocarditis: Perspectives and Challenges.

Myocarditis is a major cause of heart failure and death, particularly in young individuals. Current treatments are mainly symptomatic, but emerging therapies focus on targeting inflammation and fibrosis pathways. Natural bioactive compounds like flavonoids and phenolic acids show promising anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Left-to-Left Acquired Cardiac Shunt: Aorto-Left Atrial Fistula Due to Aortic Infective Endocarditis in a Dog.

Infective endocarditis is a severe but rarely diagnosed disease, characterized by the presence of bacterial infection at the level of the cardiac valves. Although the incidence of the disease is very low, the consequences are severe and the prognosis is very poor, outlining a high mortality rate among cases. The present report highlights the case of a 7-year-old dog presented with abrupt changes in the respiratory pattern, obtunded and in lateral recumbency.

The Unseen Side of Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Diagnostic and Prognostic Utility of Electrocardiography and Holter Monitoring.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common heart disease in cats, characterized by regional or diffuse hypertrophy of the left ventricular walls, with an uncertain etiology and heterogenous natural history. Several types of rhythm disturbances are often associated with the disease. This study conducts a comprehensive review of the current literature, in order to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic effectiveness of electrocardiography and Holter monitoring in the management of feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Clinical and epidemiological assessment of the incidence of arterial hypertension in a permanent medical center.

Unlabelled: The present study shows the results of monitoring, evaluation and prediction of health status in a patient group with hypertension (HTN) seeking care in a permanent medical center.

Materials And Methods: The study evaluated 144 patients registered at the Permanent Medical Center of the Plugari village, Iaşi County, who were diagnosed with HTN between 2011 and 2013. The study group included 80 male patients with an average age of 51.

The third age--a current issue for the family physician.

Since our birth, we are programmed to experience predetermined stages of life whose passage is inevitable as the passage of time (childhood, youth, adulthood, old age). Although each of these stages of development differs in its specific tasks, the old age seems to be the most burdensome, resulting in significant changes: physical and intellectual decline, major changes in the importance of the professional, marital, parental and social role. One of the main indicators of the quality of life, the average life expectancy increased significantly in the last 3-4 decades and the mankind gained decades of active life in a relatively short period of time.
