Background: The lived experience and impact of financial strain on broad physical and mental health outcomes is important and yet underexplored. Improving our depth of understanding of the relationship between financial strain and health may offer important insights to address this complex phenomenon.
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to conduct a meta-synthesis of existing qualitative literature that investigated or described the relationship between financial strain and health outcomes.
Cardiac angiosarcomas are rare and generally followed by a high level of metastasis with poor median survival outcomes. Echocardiograms, CT scans, and MRIs are the standard methods for finding sites of cardiac tumors; however, immunohistochemical confirmation is necessary for a definitive diagnosis of angiosarcoma. A 58-year-old male presented to the emergency room with one week of dyspnea on moderate exertion accompanied by chest pain and alleviated with rest.

The objective of the current work was to demonstrate the equivalence of Mylan's glatiramer acetate (GA) to that of the reference product Copaxone (COP) using the four criteria for active pharmaceutical ingredient sameness as established by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The reaction scheme used to produce Mylan's glatiramer acetate (MGA) was compared with that of COP, determined from publicly available literature. Comparative analyses of MGA and COP were performed for physicochemical properties such as amino acid composition and molecular weight distributions.
