An 80 year old Chinese gentleman was admitted with NSTEACS characterized by anterior T wave inversion and raised Troponin T. His coronary angiogram showed stenosis of the proximal LAD. He underwent PCI to LAD lesion. The RCA was large and there was large collateral between, RCA and PA (fig 1,2), which was not intervened. He made good recovery and has been asymptomatic for over 2 years. Coronary artery anomalies are found in 1% of the population, RCA is the most commonly involved. Best approach would be to observe the patients, as most of them do not develop any symptoms.

Objectives: As is well known, plaque morphology plays an important role in the hemodynamics of stenotic coronary arteries, thus their clinic outcomes. However, so far, there has been no research on how the cross-sectional shape of a stenotic lumen affects its hemodynamics. Therefore, this study aims to explore the impact of plaque cross-sectional shape on coronary hemodynamics under mild or moderate stenosis conditions (diameter stenosis degree ≤50 %).

Berry syndrome is a rare combination of cardiac malformations, which is characterized by the following malformations, including the aortopulmonary window, aortic right pulmonary origin, interrupted aortic arch or hypoplastic aortic arch or coarctation of the aorta, and an intact ventricular septum. There are few reviews on prenatal diagnosis of Berry syndrome by fetal echocardiography. We used sequential cross-sectional scanning from apex to bottom of the heart to find aortic right pulmonary origin, aortopulmonary window, and hypoplastic aortic arch.

Human health is being threatened by environmental microplastic (MP) pollution. MPs were detected in the bloodstream and multiple tissues of humans, disrupting the regular physiological processes of organs. Nanoscale plastics can breach the blood-brain barrier, leading to neurotoxic effects.

Background: The following case report details the genetic evaluation and treatment of a 30-year-old male with a history of asthenoteratospermia and notable abnormalities of the sperm flagella.
Methods: Genetic evaluation was performed via a multi-gene panel of genes associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia and multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) prior to the couple's in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle.
Results: Genetic evaluation was performed via a multi-gene panel of genes associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia and multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) prior to the couple's in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze if the healthcare organization of perinatal care and availability of referral neonatal intensive care units (NICU) impacted congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) neonatal mortality in the period 2004-2020. This study analyzed the spatial distribution of neonatal deaths of live births with CDH in São Paulo State, Brazil, and its association with NICU beds' availability.
Methods: Population-based study of all live births in São Paulo State from mothers residing in the same State, from 2004 to 2020.
