Serum metabolites and risk of aortic dissection: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study.
Indian J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
February 2025
Department of Cardiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, 230001 Anhui China.
Purpose: Acute aortic dissection is a serious cardiovascular emergency with a high mortality rate. Its pathogenesis is complex and remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the connection between the levels of genetically predicted circulating metabolites and the risk of aortic dissection.

Introduction: Exercise is vital in preventing and treating obesity. Despite its importance, the understanding of how exercise influences childhood obesity at the biochemical level is limited. In this study, we explore the effects of a 16-week exercise program (EP) on body composition, physical fitness, and the blood levels of hormones related to obesity.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has shown very promising results in the treatment of refractory or relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness and side effects of CAR T-cell therapies, focusing on factors affecting both clinical outcomes and adverse effects. This review included data from 14 studies involving 1392 patients with DLBCL who underwent CAR T-cell therapy.

Gastroenterolgy, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation, Karachi, PAK.
Background Heart failure (HF) is commonly managed by addressing water and sodium (Na) balance, with arterial circulation playing a major role in influencing renal Na and water excretion. Recently, chloride (Cl) has been recognized as an important factor in HF, associated with volume regulation and its modulation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activity through macula densa signaling, which impacts Na retention and neurohormonal activation. Acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, can enhance decongestion in HF by increasing urinary Na and Cl excretion when added to loop diuretics, a mechanism supported by prior studies demonstrating improved urine output and decongestion.

Eur Heart J Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Radiological and Hematological Sciences, Section of Radiology, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Largo Agostino Gemelli 8 - 00168 Rome, Italy.
Background: Cardiac strangulation (CS) from epicardial pacing leads (EPLs) is a rare and potentially lethal mechanical complication associated with epicardial pacemaker (PM) implantation.
Case Summary: We report a case of a 44-year-old-female patient presenting with chest and left shoulder pain in the absence of reported trauma with history of congenital atrioventricular block treated with epicardial PM implantation during the childhood and subsequent transvenous reimplantation over the years. Troponin I resulted within normal values and ECG, transthoracic echocardiography and chest X-ray documented no acute cardiopulmonary findings.
