Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality in women despite advances in treatment strategies. Challenges currently exist when making the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Equitable treatment of women once the disease has been identified is a further conundrum. Observational data have helped to identify those women at a higher risk of mortality and morbidity attributable to coronary artery disease. Interpretation of individual risk factors differs between the genders. Treatment may also differ depending on appropriate proper risk stratification, using newer models that take into account gender differences. Outcomes can be improved with the proper use of existing risk stratification tools.

Inflammatory bone resorption represents a pathological condition marked by an increase in bone loss, commonly associated with chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis. Current therapies primarily focus on anti-inflammatory drugs and bisphosphonates; however, these treatments are limited due to side effects, inadequate efficacy, and unpredictable long-term complications. Kurarinone (KR), a bioactive compound isolated from the traditional Chinese herb Sophora flavescens, exhibits a range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and cardiovascular protective effects.

Purpose: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common chronic cardiac arrhythmia that increases the risk of stroke, primarily due to thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) devices offer an alternative to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention. However, the complex and variable anatomy of the LAA presents significant challenges to device design and deployment.
