Acute intramural hematoma in colon is a rare presentation following trauma. There are reports in literature of acute colonic hematoma following trauma, warfarin intake and in patient with coagulation disorders. In traumatic acute colonic intramural hematoma, most of the reported cases were managed surgically. Very few cases were successfully managed conservatively. We present a case of 28-year-old male who presented to the surgical emergency after two days of road traffic accident. After relevant investigations, he was found to have intramural hematoma of ascending colon, which was managed conservatively.

Prediction of late-onset preeclampsia using plasma proteomics: a longitudinal multi-cohort study.
Sci Rep
December 2024
Department of Obstetrics, Division of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Oslo University Hospital Rikshospitalet, Oslo, Norway.
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy disorder with substantial perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Pregnant women at risk of preeclampsia would benefit from early detection for follow-up, timely interventions and delivery. Several attempts have been made to identify protein biomarkers of preeclampsia, but findings vary with demographics, clinical characteristics, and time of sampling.

Introduction: Peripheral risk factors (PRFs) may correlate with dementia plasma biomarkers, potentially reflecting peripheral rather than brain health. This study explores the associations between PRFs and plasma biomarkers glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), neurofilament light chain (NfL), and total-tau, and their role in predicting future dementia.
Methods: Data from the Age, Gene/Environment Susceptibility-Reykjavik Study (2002-2015) included 4353 participants mean age of 76.

Introduction: Poor cardiovascular health (CVH) is linked to Alzheimer's disease and dementia; however, its association with neurocognitive trajectories earlier in life remains underexplored.
Methods: We included 3224 participants with information on CVH at early midlife (mean age 45.0 ± standard deviation 3.
A comment on the physiological basis for longitudinal motion of the arterial wall.
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol
December 2024
Department of Translational Medicine, Lund University, Sweden.
The longitudinal motion and the intramural shear strain of the arterial wall increase dramatically in response to blood pressure, thereby impacting the vascular wall microenvironment. Exposure to a sedentary lifestyle has been identified as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but it has been shown that intermittent physical activity embedded into everyday life is enough to improve cardiovascular health. Marked changes in longitudinal motion already at low workload may explain this finding.

Actin is an essential component of the cytoskeleton in every eukaryotic cell. Cytoplasmic β-and γ-actin are over 99% identical to each other at the protein level, but are encoded by different genes and play distinct roles in vivo. Blood cells, especially red blood cells (RBC), contain almost exclusively β-actin, and it has been generally assumed that this bias is dictated by unique suitability of β-actin for RBC cytoskeleton function due to its specific amino acid sequence.
