Background: Achenbach's syndrome, also known as paroxysmal finger hematoma, is a rarely reported clinical disorder with recurring, sudden bruising of the volar part of a finger, appearing spontaneously or after minor trauma and resolving completely within days.
Patients And Methods: We report seven cases from our angiologic out-patient clinic.
Results: The patients were asymptomatic between manifestations. The conditon was nevertheless reason for a referral.
Conclusions: We stress the need for greater awareness among clinicians of the harmlessness of the condition in order to avoid misdiagnoses and dispensable diagnostic procedures.

The 2024 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines on chronic coronary syndrome comprehensively summarize the symptoms, diagnostics and treatment of coronary artery disease, excluding acute coronary syndromes. The processing always begins with an estimation of the clinical probability, which should include not only the symptom profile but also the number of cardiovascular risk factors and is further modified by any conspicuous findings in electrocardiography (ECG), exercise testing, or echocardiography. For further diagnostics, coronary angiography via computed tomography is the first-line approach if the probability lies between 5% and 50%.

Objective: Efficacy, tolerability, and behavioral/executive functioning during long-term adjunctive brivaracetam treatment were assessed in pediatric patients with focal-onset seizures (FOS) with/without cognitive/learning comorbidities (CLC).
Methods: Post hoc analysis of a phase 3 open-label follow-up trial (N01266/NCT01364597). Patients with FOS (<16 years at core trial entry; direct enrollers ≥4-<17 years) received ≤5 mg/kg/day brivaracetam (≤200 mg/day).
