• “Inverse-amyloid” or “blueberry-on-top” strain pattern is a finding in AHCM. • The time to peak strain parametric map is the best depiction of this unique pattern. • This pattern provides a supportive diagnostic feature of apical variant HCM.

Apicomplexans, a large phylum of protozoan intracellular parasites, well known for their ability to invade and proliferate within host cells, cause diseases with major health and economic impacts worldwide. These parasites are responsible for conditions such as malaria, cryptosporidiosis, and toxoplasmosis, which affect humans and other animals. Apicomplexans exhibit complex life cycles, marked by diverse modes of cell division, which are closely associated with their pathogenesis.

Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy usually presents with acute reversible left ventricular apical hypokinesia and apical ballooning with basal hyperdynamic function. We describe an underreported case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), misinterpreted as apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) due to transient apical oedema in the recovery phase of the condition.
Case Summary: A 74-year-old Caucasian woman, presented to the emergency department complaining of retrosternal chest pain following, emotional stress.

Our case report characterizes a rare presentation of mid-ventricular Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) in a patient with suspected myocarditis as an underlying cause. Mid-ventricular TTC is a rare variant of TTC presenting with overlapping symptoms and physical exam findings of acute coronary syndrome, which often leads to misdiagnosis as myocardial infarction. Our case is of a 77-year-old female patient with a history of hyperlipidemia, right breast ductal carcinoma in situ, and diverticular disease who presented to the emergency department for evaluation of chest pain radiating to the jaw with associated nausea and vomiting.

Background: This series investigates the efficacy of regenerative endodontic therapy (RET) using various platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) formulations in treating apical periodontitis and necrotic pulp in immature permanent teeth.
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different PRF formulations in RET.
Materials And Methods: Three cases involving patients aged 15-16 with immature teeth and necrotic pulp were treated with RET using PRF, injectable PRF, and advanced PRF.

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) needs careful differentiation from other cardiomyopathies. Current guidelines recommend genetic testing, but genetic data on differential diagnoses and their relation with clinical outcomes in HCM are still lacking. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of genetic variants and the proportion of other cardiomyopathies in patients with suspected HCM in Korea and compare the outcomes of HCM according to the presence of sarcomere gene mutation.
