Background: Ticagrelor as a P2Y12 receptor antagonist is recommended in patients with acute coronary syndrome without a primary cardiosurgical therapy. Severe relevant side effects, especially anaphylactic reactions, have not yet been described in the current literature.
Case Presentation: We describe the first documented case in the current literature with a severe anaphylaxis after ticagrelor in a 76-year-old male patient with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. The diagnosis seems to be objectivated by the observed time-related life-threatening event after repetitive administration of ticagrelor and the rapid stabilization after adequate anaphylactic treatment.
Conclusion: This case should raise the awareness that a supposedly safe drug can still cause an anaphylactic shock.

Climate change is imposing multiple stressors on marine life, leading to a restructuring of ecological communities as species exhibit differential sensitivities to these stressors. With the ocean warming and wind patterns shifting, processes that drive thermal variations in coastal regions, such as marine heatwaves and upwelling events, can change in frequency, timing, duration, and severity. These changes in environmental parameters can physiologically impact organisms residing in these habitats.

We conduct a novel investigation into the effects of uncertain health shocks and medical costs on the life cycle consumption, housing, and saving decisions. Our model aids in understanding the role of health shocks and medical costs after age 70 in explaining the lack of wealth and housing decumulation during retirement. We utilize a comprehensive life-cycle model that includes housing, as well as shocks to house price, labor income, and health.

Purpose Of Review: To review currently existing knowledge on a new type of antihypertensive treatment, small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting hepatic angiotensinogen.
Recent Findings: Targeting angiotensinogen synthesis in the liver with siRNA allows reaching a suppression of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activity for up to 6 months after 1 injection. This might revolutionize antihypertensive treatment, as it could overcome non-adherence, the major reason for inadequate blood pressure control.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between triage body temperature (BT) and outcome in cats presenting to the emergency department (ED).
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on cats presented to the ED. BT, clinical diagnosis and outcome were recorded.
