Background: Dexrazoxane has been studied for its ability to prevent anthracycline-induced cardiac dysfunction (AICD) in several trials but its use in clinical practice remains limited. This is related to the low to moderate quality of the generated evidence, safety concerns and restricted prescribing indications. Additional randomized trials are needed before this drug can be routinely integrated into cardio-oncology clinical practice.

The cardiovascular risks linked to PM include calcification in both vasculature and myocardial tissues, leading to structural changes and functional decline. Through the selection of a clinically proven endogenous agent, sodium thiosulfate (STS), capable of addressing PM related cardiac abnormalities, we not only address the absence of effective solutions to mitigate PM toxicity, but also provide evidence for the repurposing potential of STS in ameliorating PM induced cardiac damage. Female Wistar rats were exposed to PM (250 μg/m) for 3 h daily for 21 days.

Currently, there are no validated guidelines or recommendations for how to interpret cardiac biomarkers in the pediatric population. The most commonly used cardiac biomarkers are cardiac troponins and natriuretic peptides, but the clinical value of common cardiac biomarkers in pediatric laboratory medicine is restricted due to age- and sex-specific interpretations, and there are no standardized cut-off values. The results from the studies on reference values, as well as results from clinical studies, are difficult to compare with identical studies due to the heterogeneity of subject characteristics (gestational and chronological age, sex, pubertal status, menstrual cycle, exercise), assay characteristics (type of assay, generation of assay, analytical platform used), and experimental protocol characteristics (prospective or retrospective studies, reference population selection, patient population selection, inclusion and exclusion criteria, number of subjects).

The dissection of the aorta is a serious and potentially fatal consequence of cocaine use. Nonetheless, the underlying mechanisms and characteristics of this phenomenon remain to be deeply studied. The autopsy case of a 46-year-old white male found irresponsive and unconscious in his house and had a history of abusing cocaine is presented.
