AI Article Synopsis
- Coronary artery anomalies are being diagnosed more often due to better diagnostic studies and advanced imaging techniques.
- A solitary single coronary artery, which is a rare birth defect, can give rise to both the left and right coronary arteries from one opening.
- This specific case was discovered accidentally during a routine angiography.
Article Abstract
Coronary artery anomalies are being more frequently diagnosed these days both because increasing numbers of patients are undergoing diagnostic studies and because advanced radiographic imaging methods are now commonly available. An isolated single coronary artery giving rise to the main coronary branches is a rare congenital anomaly. In this report we present a patient with a solitary coronary ostium, with both the left and right coronary artery systems arising from it, and then following their usual courses. This case was diagnosed incidentally during conventional angiography.

Racial disparities in extended venous thromboembolism prophylaxis after hysterectomy.
PLoS One
January 2025
Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, United States of America.
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant preventable cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality after major abdominopelvic surgery that calls for extended VTE prophylaxis (eVTEp). Literature suggests that significant racial disparities may exist in post-operative care.
Objective: The study sought to examine if racial disparities exist in the administration of eVTEp after hysterectomy in a statewide collaborative.
β2-Adrenergic Receptor Agonist Clenbuterol Protects Against Acute Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Arrhythmia by Regulation of Akt/eNOS/NO/Cx43 Signaling Pathway.

Ventricular arrhythmias induced by ischemia/reperfusion injury limits the therapeutic effect of early reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction. This study investigated the protective effects of the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) agonist clenbuterol against ischemia/reperfusion-induced arrhythmias and the underlying mechanism. Anesthetized rats were subjected to 10-min left coronary artery occlusion and 10-min reperfusion in vivo.

Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of ischemic cardiovascular disease worldwide. Recent studies indicated that vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play an indispensable role in the progression of atherosclerosis. Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated promising clinical applications in the treatment of atherosclerosis.
