Even if rarely detected, right atrial (RA) masses represent a diagnostic challenge due to their heterogeneous presentation. Para-physiological RA structures, such as a prominent Eustachian valve, Chiari's network, and lipomatous atrial hypertrophy, may easily be misinterpreted as pathological RA masses, including thrombi, myxomas, and vegetations. Each pathological mass should always be correlated with adequate clinical, anamnestic, and laboratory data.

Brucellosis has therapeutic challenges due to 3%-15% relapses/therapeutic failures (R/TF) after antibiotic treatment. Therefore, determining the antibiotic concentration in tissues, the physiopathological parameters, and the R/TF after treatment is relevant. After exploring different antibiotic quantities, we found that a combined dose of 100 µg/g of doxycycline (for 45 days) and 7.

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), the most advanced form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), is the comorbidity primarily responsible for major lower-limb amputations, particularly for diabetic patients. Autologous cell therapy has been the focus of efforts over the past 20 years to create non-interventional therapeutic options for no-option CLTI to improve limb perfusion and wound healing. Among the different available techniques, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) appear to be the most promising autologous cell therapy due to physio-pathological considerations and clinical evidence, which will be discussed in this review.

Optic atrophy protein 1 (OPA1) mediates inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) fusion and cristae organization. Mutations in OPA1 cause autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA), a leading cause of blindness. Cells from ADOA patients show impaired mitochondrial fusion, cristae structure, bioenergetic function, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) integrity.
