We describe the case of a young man with an initial diagnosis of acute myocarditis that was finally recognized as a familial left-dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. The diagnostic process was also based on demonstration, serial cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and typical patterns of myocardial damage, including features of the disease's inflammatory "hot phase".

Purpose Of Review: Hot phases are a challenging clinical presentation in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), marked by acute chest pain and elevated cardiac troponins in the absence of obstructive coronary disease. These episodes manifest as myocarditis and primarily affect young patients, contributing to a heightened risk of life-threatening arrhythmias and potential disease progression. This review aims to synthesize recent research on the pathophysiology, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic management of hot phases in ACM.

An 18-year-old male presented with syncope during a training break. Post-syncope, he developed effort dyspnea, which he associated with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine received a week earlier. Electrocardiogram showed T inversion in V1-V3, III, and aVF, while 24-hour Holter monitoring revealed frequent ventricular premature beats.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the fracture resistance levels of restored deciduous teeth and permanent molars restored with different materials, including ultra-polyethylene fibre tape (Ribbond-Ultra), fibre-reinforced resin composite EverX posterior, fibre-reinforced flowable resin composite EverX Flow and bulk-fill flow restorative material (Tetric N-flow) in the posterior region.
Methods: We tested sixty-four caries-free human mandibular molars (32 deciduous molars and 32 permanent molars). Deep and wide Class I cavities were prepared in each tooth.

Non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) is a newly categorized cardiomyopathy phenotype includingseveral aetiologies with a linking characteristic represented by the normal left ventricular volume. Inflammatory heart disease (InHD) is a heterogeneous process with variegate clinical manifestations, sometimes in overlap with NDLVC. A 26-year-old woman was admitted forcomplete heart block (CHB) and persistently raised troponin.

Bentonite is an integral part of the engineered barrier system (EBS) in deep geological repositories (DGR) for nuclear waste, but its indigenous microorganisms may jeopardize long-term EBS integrity. To predict microbial activity in DGRs, it is essential to understand microbial reactions to the early hot phase of DGR evolution. Two bentonites (BCV and MX-80) with varied bentonite/water ratios and saturation levels (compacted to 1600 kg.
