Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening emergency involving a tear in the aortic intima, leading to a false lumen. Atrial fibrillation (AF) can complicate AD, increasing management challenges and mortality risks. We report a 67-year-old male with no known past medical history who presented with a 1-day history of abdominal pain.

Background: Symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE) is an important clinical entity that is rare and may develop with a Type IV delayed type hypersensitivity immune response to drug antigens. The incidence and characteristics of SDRIFE attributed to COronaVIrus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines remain unclear, this issue requires further elucidation.

Objective: We aim to investigate the vaccine-related-SDRIFE and potential immunogens of COVID-19 vaccines through a literature review accompanied by a real case.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the impact of acromegaly on retinal vascular health and its link to Gremlin-1 levels using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
  • It involved 53 acromegaly patients and 31 healthy controls, measuring retinal structures and Gremlin-1 concentrations through elaborate imaging and blood tests.
  • Results indicated that acromegaly patients exhibited significantly reduced retinal vascular densities and lower Gremlin-1 levels compared to controls, suggesting a negative association between acromegaly and vascular health independent of glucose tolerance.

Introduction: We developed a low-cost, user-friendly complementary research tool to evaluate autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity at varying levels of cognitive workload. This was achieved using visual stimuli as cognitive tasks, administered through a specially designed computer-based test battery.

Methods: To assess sympathetic stress responses, skin conductance response (SCR) was measured, and electrocardiograms (ECG) were recorded to evaluate heart rate variability (HRV), an indicator of cardiac vagal tone.
