A 38-year-old woman presented with acute coronary syndrome 9 days postpartum. Coronary catheterization showed an intramural hematoma of the left main artery (LM) and the left anterior descending artery (LAD). During angiography, dissection of the LM, with involvement of the LAD and circumflex artery occurred. The patient presented unstable hemodynamic status. After resuscitation, intra-aortic balloon pump was inserted. The patient underwent two-vessel off-pump surgical revascularization. She was discharged 10 days later.

Context: Simulation-based medical education (SBME) is a method for enhancing learner skill prior to initiating care for real patients. Although the use of SBME continues to grow, there is limited data on simulations related to osteopathic medical training. Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) applies hands-on techniques to facilitate healing.

Acute myocardial infarction, a leading cause of death globally, is often associated with cardiometabolic disorders such as atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome. Metabolic treatment of these disorders can improve cardiac outcomes, as exemplified by the GLP-1 agonist semaglutide. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a novel metabolic regulator, plays pivotal roles in lipid mobilization and energy conversion, reducing lipotoxicity, inflammation, mitochondrial health, and subsequent tissue damage in organs such as the liver, pancreas, and heart.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, posing significant challenges to global healthcare. It is a prevalent and largely self-inflicted disease that is projected to become the primary cause of death globally. Unani scholars have long focused on vital organs, especially the heart, with Ibn Sīnā detailing cardiac pathophysiology and authoring a book on treating CAD with plant, animal, and mineral-derived drugs.

Background: Cognitive dysfunction in hemodialysis (HD) patients is associated with decreased regional cerebral oxygenation (rSO2). Intradialytic exercise improves cognitive function; nonetheless, the acute effect of intradialytic exercise on cerebral circulation remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the acute effect of intradialytic exercise on rSO2 during HD.
