Introduction: Patients presenting with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) derive significant benefit from timely percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Electrocardiogram (ECG) scoring systems can complement history to estimate the infarction age and inform clinical decision-making.
Case: A 76year old man presented with eight days of dyspnea on exertion and chest pain. Triage ECG showed ST elevation and Q waves in the anterior leads. The patient was taken for coronary angiography and found to have a 100% occlusion of the left anterior descending artery.
Discussion: Determining timing of acute coronary syndromes is challenging. ECG indices aid clinical history by quantifying infarction acuity.

Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are strongly linked to abnormal adipocyte metabolism and adipose tissue (AT) dysfunction. However, existing adipose tissue models have limitations, particularly in the stable culture of fat cells that maintain physiologically relevant phenotypes, hindering a deeper understanding of adipocyte biology and the molecular mechanisms behind differentiation. Current model systems fail to fully replicate in vivo metabolism, posing challenges in adipose research.

Approximately 3% of individuals in road traffic accidents suffer ocular injuries. We present a case of a man in his late 80s who presented with bilateral corneal decompensation following airbag deployment during a road traffic accident. Ocular examination revealed multilevel ocular injury with severe bilateral corneal oedema.

Transient polyuria during pregnancy is reportedly caused by increased arginine vasopressin (AVP) degradation due to vasopressinase produced by the placenta. The mechanism underlying transient polyuria during pregnancy has not been established. In this study we measured urine volume, urine osmolality, and AVP transcriptional activity during pregnancy in wild-type and familial neurohypophysial diabetes insipidus (FNDI) mice.

This study presents T-1-NBAB, a new compound derived from the natural xanthine alkaloid theobromine, aimed at inhibiting VEGFR-2, a crucial protein in angiogenesis. T-1-NBAB's potential to interacts with and inhibit the VEGFR-2 was indicated using in silico techniques like molecular docking, MD simulations, MM-GBSA, PLIP, essential dynamics, and bi-dimensional projection experiments. DFT experiments was utilized also to study the structural and electrostatic properties of T-1-NBAB.
