Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) in aortic valve and its complication coronary embolism is a very rare condition. Diagnosis and treatment process is challenging. We present a young patient with acute myocardial infarction who underwent mechanical aortic valve replacement (AVR) operation one month earlier.

To better understand the impact of Vit-D levels on long-term cardiac events in coronary artery disease patients, this study was designed. There were 408 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

The magnetic resonance tomography revealed a mild FLAIR signal increase of the bilateral occipital cortex. A lumbar puncture revealed considerably elevated tau protein levels, in the presence of normal phospho-tau, as a marker of brain injury, whilst neuron-specific enolase levels were normal.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research shows that inflammatory factors may trigger stent thrombosis, prompting a study on the role of basophils, mean platelet volume (MPV), and vitamin D levels.
- An observational case-control study compared 87 patients with stent thrombosis to 90 without, measuring various blood parameters at emergency room admission.
- Results indicated higher MPV and lower basophil counts in the stent thrombosis group, suggesting that elevated MPV and low basophil levels could be significant predictors for stent thrombosis post-cardiac intervention.
Background: Data on the humoral vaccine response in patients on anti-interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor therapy remain scarce.
Objective: The main objective of our study was to investigate the humoral response after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD)/myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) patients treated with anti-IL-6 receptor therapy. Secondarily, we analyzed relapse activity timely associated with vaccination.
