Iron is a necessary element for life; however, excess iron leads to oxidative stress by the Fenton reaction. Iron deficiency is prevalent in patients with heart failure, while iron overload is associated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. These findings suggest the "iron paradox" in cardiovascular diseases. Iron metabolism in cardiovascular diseases is complex, and the mechanisms regulating systemic and cellular iron metabolism in cardiovascular diseases remain completely unknown. In this review, we focus on the role of iron in cardiovascular diseases.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a severe cardiovascular disease (CVD) that is partly attributable to endothelial dysfunction, inflammatory response, and angiogenesis. G protein-coupled receptor 4 (GPR4), a proton-sensitive G protein-coupled receptor that is abundantly expressed in vascular endothelial cells, has been associated with numerous physiological functions. Nevertheless, its potential involvement in the development of AAA remains unexplored.

Background And Importance: Traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (tICH) after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is not uncommon in the elderly. Often, these patients are admitted to the hospital for observation. The necessity of admission in the absence of clinically important intracranial injuries is however unclear.

Background: Rib and sternum fractures are common injuries associated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The fracture mechanism is either direct by application of force on sternum and anterior ribs or indirect by bending through compression of the thorax. The aim of this study was to determine morphologies of rib fractures after CPR and to reevaluate prior findings on fracture localisation, type and degree of dislocation.

Efferocytosis refers to the process of phagocytes engulfing and clearing the cells after programmed cell death. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that the mechanisms of efferocytosis are closely related to drug-induced liver injury, hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury, viral hepatitis, cholestatic liver diseases, metabolic-associated fatty liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, and other liver disorders. This review summarized the research progress on the role of efferocytosis in liver diseases, with the hope of providing new targets for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how metabolic profiles change in patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO) and migraines before and after surgery, using metabolomics techniques.
- Significant differences in metabolites like linoleic acid and quinolinic acid were observed after surgery, indicating potential diagnostic markers for these patients.
- The research highlights the importance of metabolic pathways related to inflammation and oxidative stress in understanding migraines associated with PFO.
