Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left sinus of Valsalva is a rare congenital abnormality diagnosed by coronary angiography. This is the first report of an echocardiographic diagnosis of a patient with this anomaly, as far as is known.

Gravimetry is the most suitable geophysical method for identifying subsurface cavities in urban or industrial environments, as it is unaffected by nearby electromagnetic disturbances. In this study, we used gravimetric geophysical method to understand the land subsidence, collapses, and fissures observed around the sealed Albian drilling site located in the M'Rara region of Northeast of Algeria. Particularly, we would like study the geological observed phenomena and its potential association with the presence of a cavity within the salt layer.

The teleconnections between El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), and Tropical North Atlantic warming (+TNA) play a critical role in characterizing extreme drought events in the Amazon Basin (AB). This study examines the seven most recent drought extreme events up to 2023, using seasonal composites of the sea surface temperature and atmospheric variables over a five-quarter period starting at the austral spring(-1) of the year preceding that when the lowest water level at Manaus port was recorded. Two distinct patterns emerge, driven by consecutive ENSO events with opposite phases, referred to as cyclic La Niña-El Niño and cyclic El Niño-La Niña drought events.

Unlabelled: The Bland-White-Garland syndrome, or Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA) syndrome, is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly often associated with high mortality, if left untreated. We present a case of a 43-year-old female with undiagnosed ALCAPA who initially underwent mitral valve surgery for severe mitral regurgitation, only to require reoperation due to adult-type ALCAPA. Intraoperatively, the discovery of dilated right coronary artery and its branches and absence of the left coronary ostium prompted further investigation, leading to the diagnosis of adult-type ALCAPA.

Anomalous aortic origin of coronary artery can lead to ischemia. Due to the limitations of invasive catheterization dobutamine stress testing, an alternative noninvasive approach is desired. A 65-year-old woman with atypical chest pain was referred for coronary computed tomography angiography.

Purpose Of Review: We present a contemporary approach to risk assessment and management of patients with anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA).
Recent Findings: Anomalous left coronary artery from the right aortic sinus (L-AAOCA) with interarterial course carries a high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD); therefore, current guidelines recommend exercise restriction and surgical intervention. Recent data in intraseptal and juxtacommissural L-AAOCA showed inducible perfusion abnormalities, leading to consideration of surgical intervention.
