AI Article Synopsis

  • A young man with "noncardiac" chest pain was diagnosed with Wellens' syndrome, a cardiac condition linked to significant coronary artery issues.
  • Early left ventricular global longitudinal strain imaging showed changes in these patients, even when their ejection fraction remained normal.
  • The patient successfully underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention to treat the underlying problem.

Article Abstract

We present the case of a young man with "noncardiac" chest pain, subsequently diagnosed as Wellens' syndrome. We report the early changes in left ventricular global longitudinal strain imaging findings in these patients despite preserved ejection fraction, and review the features associated with this stereotypical cardiac condition. The patient underwent a successful percutaneous coronary intervention.

Floodplain forests drive fruit-eating fish diversity at the Amazon Basin-scale.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

Unlike most rivers globally, nearly all lowland Amazonian rivers have unregulated flow, supporting seasonally flooded floodplain forests. Floodplain forests harbor a unique tree species assemblage adapted to flooding and specialized fauna, including fruit-eating fish that migrate seasonally into floodplains, favoring expansive floodplain areas. Frugivorous fish are forest-dependent fauna critical to forest regeneration via seed dispersal and support commercial and artisanal fisheries.

The Hamas-led terrorist attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023, were an inflection point that spurred a global rise in antisemitism. College and university campuses were particularly affected. Given the adverse impacts of prejudice and discrimination for mental health and the dearth of research on psychosocial effects of antisemitism, examining stress, coping, and mental health among Jewish students within this context is crucial.

Myocardial Abnormalities Across the AHA/ACC Stages of Heart Failure in Patients With Diabetes.

JACC Asia

December 2024

Departments of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Fuwai Hospital, State Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Disease, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.

Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) could serve as a robust tool for comprehensive evaluation of early changes across heart failure (HF) stages classified by the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guideline in diabetes mellitus (DM).

Objectives: The authors aimed to explore phenotypic imaging features characterizing DM participants at different HF stages by CMR.

Methods: DM participants with preserved ejection fraction who underwent CMR examination between January 2020 and December 2021 were evaluated.

Hypermutated proviruses, which arise in a single Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) replication cycle when host antiviral APOBEC3 proteins introduce extensive guanine to adenine mutations throughout the viral genome, persist in all people living with HIV receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, hypermutated sequences are routinely excluded from phylogenetic trees because their extensive mutations complicate phylogenetic inference, and as a result, we know relatively little about their within-host evolutionary origins and dynamics. Using >1400 longitudinal single-genome-amplified HIV sequences isolated from six women over a median of 18 years of follow-up-including plasma HIV RNA sequences collected over a median of 9 years between seroconversion and ART initiation, and >500 proviruses isolated over a median of 9 years on ART-we evaluated three approaches for masking hypermutation in nucleotide alignments.
