Background: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have demonstrated promising effects in lowering cardiovascular incidents among patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, their influence on early platelet reactivity after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) remains unclear.
Objectives: This research sought to investigate the effects of entirely human anti-PCSK9 antibodies on platelet function as measured by thrombelastography and 12-month postoperative results in patients receiving PPCI and treated with ticagrelor-based dual antiplatelet therapy.

Rationale: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading global cause of death from cardiovascular disease, and the mortality rate increases in the presence of comorbidities such as renal abscess. The treatment of AMI combined with renal abscess is challenging, especially in combination with urinary tract obstruction, as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can lead to progression of the renal abscess and deterioration of renal function. Currently, there is no consensus on the treatment of renal abscess in AMI.

Introduction: Isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) is an exceedingly rare but serious cause of acute abdominal pain, especially in pediatric patients, with a reported prevalence of 1 in 1.5 million women. It occurs when the fallopian tube twists around its own axis, leading to venous and lymphatic obstruction, ischemia, and potential necrosis, without involving the ipsilateral ovary.

Background And Aims: Histologic studies indicated that healed plaque, characterized by a multilayered pattern, is indicative of prior atherothrombosis and subsequent healing. However, longitudinal in vivo data on healed plaque formation in non-culprit plaques are limited. This study aimed to investigate serial changes and clinical significance of new layered pattern formation in non-culprit plaques in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) using serial optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.

Background And Aims: The significance of left ventricular mass and chamber volumes from non-contrast computed tomography (CT) for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) has not been studied. Our objective was to evaluate the role of artificial intelligence-enabled multi-chamber cardiac volumetry from non-contrast CT for long-term risk stratification in asymptomatic subjects without known coronary artery disease.
Methods: Our study included 2022 asymptomatic individuals (55.
