The Left anterior descending artery (LAD) is a branch of the left main coronary artery which runs obliquely towards the apex of the heart in the anterior interventricular sulcus. Among all of the coronary arteries, the LAD artery has the most constant course. Amongst the anomalies of coronaries, the duplication or bifurcation of the LAD artery is infrequent. The classification of the bifurcation of the LAD has been extensively described in various reports with the widespread use of CT Angiography. We describe herein, an anomalous LAD detected on autopsy. This unusual case highlights the gross autopsy finding of Type-I anomalous dual LAD coronary artery in a young adult who died of Myocardial Infarction.

Cardiology department, "S. Maria dei Battuti" Hospital, Via Brigata Bisagno, Conegliano (TV), Italy.
Background: Recent advancements in ultra-high-density mapping (UHDM) featuring automated functionalities have enhanced our understanding of micro-reentrant atrial tachycardias (mAT) circuits and the precise localization of the origin.
Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic support provided by an automated UHDM algorithm in guiding the ablation of mATs.
Methods: Consecutive patients eligible for AT ablation in 22 Italian centers were prospectively enrolled.

Hobnail papillary thyroid carcinoma (HNPTC) is an unusual and aggressive variant of PTC. Malignant pleural effusion secondary to thyroid carcinoma is a rare event reported in less than 1% of cases. Herein we present a case of metastatic HNPTC initially diagnosed by pleural effusion cytology, with a very poor outcome.

Remimazolam (Rema) is a novel anesthetic that is widely used in anesthesia and sedation in critically ill patients. Notably, Rema exerts effects in patients through activation of the γ‑aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor. GABA may alleviate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury; however, the impact of Rema and underlying molecular mechanism in myocardial I/R injury remain to be fully understood.

Objectives: End-to-side anastomosis is common in coronary artery bypass grafting, although restrictive suturing can narrow the anastomosis. We evaluated ex vivo end-to-side models by numerically simulating fluid dynamics to compare various degrees of stenotic anastomoses to predict haemodynamic effects.
Methods: A carotid artery was grafted via an end-to-side anastomosis onto the left anterior descending artery of a porcine heart, with liquid silicone injected into the vessels.

Introduction: Alterations in occlusal relationships in individuals with complete edentulism considerably disrupt the equilibrium of the stomatognathic system. Evaluation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is crucial during the edentulous phase, as it influences both aesthetic and functional outcomes. This investigation sought to assess alterations in condylar positioning one year after the placement of complete dentures in edentulous patients, with additional objectives to examine variations based on sex and side.
