BACKGROUND Amyloidosis is a group of diseases characterized by the pathological deposition of misfolded proteins in various organs, including the heart, leading to structural and functional alterations. The primary types of cardiac amyloidosis are light chain amyloidosis and transthyretin amyloidosis. Early diagnosis is critical for effective management.

Article Synopsis
- - Critical Casimir forces act on particles in a near-critical fluid, allowing researchers to manipulate particle behavior based on surface properties and small temperature changes.
- - The study explores how these forces can trap colloidal particles by using specially designed substrates with contrasting surface properties, enabling different levitation effects like sedimentation and point levitation.
- - By analyzing various parameters, the research indicates that while the conditions for point levitation become limited when moved away from critical points, the trapping force increases, highlighting potential applications in sorting colloids by size and measuring thermodynamic properties.
Acromegaly in Speckle Tracking Echocardiography-A New Cardiac Hypertrophy Phenotype? Case Report and Review.
Life (Basel)
November 2024
Department of Cardiology and Electrotherapy, Silesian Center for Heart Diseases, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Zabrze, Medical University of Silesia, 40-055 Katowice, Poland.
Background: This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) findings in patients diagnosed with acromegaly, exploring a potential application for the differential diagnosis of cardiac hypertrophy and guiding clinicians in patient management. To our knowledge, this is the first review showcasing changes in the bull's-eye pattern in myocardial function after acromegaly treatment, suggesting a possible pattern in this aetiology of left ventricular hypertrophy.
Methods: A review of PubMed articles using the search term "speckle tracking echocardiography acromegaly" yielded 11 relevant papers published between 2017 and 2023.

December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Unlabelled: Case Report and Case Series.
Purpose: To report a case of retinopathy in a 32-year-old man with Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II, Hunter syndrome) and highlight the unique multimodal imaging findings that can aid in diagnosing this rare condition.
Observations: We present a case of a 32-year-old Hispanic male who presented to the retina clinic following referral from optometry to evaluate for retinitis pigmentosa.
