Seasonal variation of unexpected sudden cardiac death in northern Finland.

Cardiovasc Pathol

January 2025

Research Unit of Biomedicine and Internal Medicine, Medical Research Center Oulu, University of Oulu and Oulu University Hospital, Oulu, Finland. Electronic address:

Background: Data on the occurrence of unexpected sudden cardiac death (SCD) in different seasons are limited.

Methods: All unexpected sudden death victims have to undergo medico-legal autopsy obligated by the Finnish law. Consecutive series of all unexpected autopsied SCD victims (n=5,869) were prospectively collected from the geographically defined area in the Northern Finland during a twenty years period from 1998 to 2017.

In cardiovascular research, electromagnetic fields generated by Riga plates are utilized to study or manipulate blood flow dynamics, which is particularly crucial in developing treatments for conditions such as arterial plaque deposition and understanding blood behavior under varied flow conditions. This research predicts the flow patterns of blood enhanced with gold and maghemite nanoparticles (gold-maghemite/blood) in an electromagnetic microchannel influenced by Riga plates with a temperature gradient that decays exponentially, under sudden changes in pressure gradient. The flow modeling includes key physical influences like radiation heat emission and Darcy drag forces in porous media, with the flow mathematically represented through unsteady partial differential equations solved using the Laplace transform (LT) method.

A union of two rare pathologies: small bowel diverticula perforation secondary to impacted gallstone ileus.

J Surg Case Rep

January 2025

Department of Colorectal Surgery, Sydney Adventist Hospital, 185 Fox Valley Road, Wahroonga, Sydney, New South Wales 2076, Australia.

An 84-year-old lady presented with 1 day history of sudden onset generalized abdominal pain, fevers, and peritonism. Computed tomography was suggestive of a mid-small bowel perforation associated with a distal ovoid soft tissue density structure without pneumobilia. An urgent laparotomy demonstrated two areas of jejunal diverticula necrosis and perforation associated with a 3 cm luminal mass in the proximal ileum, and proximal small bowel dilatation.

Cardiac Implications in Dravet Syndrome: Can Electrocardiogram and Echocardiography Detect Hidden Risks?

Pediatr Neurol

January 2025

Faculty of Medicine, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain; Pediatrics Research Group, Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR-Sant Pau), Barcelona, Spain; Pediatric Neurology Unit, Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona, Spain.

Background: Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy associated with loss-of-function variants in the SCN1A gene. Although predominantly expressed in the central nervous system, SCN1A is also expressed in the heart, suggesting a potential link between neuronal and cardiac channelopathies. Additionally, DS carries a high risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).
