Background: Coronary Artery Spasm (CAS) often presents in the epicardial coronary arteries. The anterior septal branch is distributed within the myocardium, and occurrences of spasms are rare. Currently, there is no available literature on this topic, and the onset of symptoms remains elusive, potentially leading to misdiagnosis.

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) resulting in aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common form of valvular heart disease, affecting 2% of those over age 65. Those who develop symptomatic severe AS have an average further lifespan of <2 years without valve replacement, and three-quarters of these patients will develop heart failure, undergo valve replacement, or die within 5 years. There are no approved pharmaceutical therapies for AS, due primarily to a limited understanding of the molecular mechanisms that direct CAVD progression in the complex haemodynamic environment.

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between physical fitness, executive function, and academic performance in children and adolescents. A total of 131 students (49% female) aged 10-15 years from a public school in Rio de Janeiro were assessed in executive functions (hearts and flowers, Corsi's block, and digit span tasks), academic performance (Portuguese, reading, math, and overall school grade), physical tests (touch test disc, agility, lower limb and upper limb explosive strength), and anthropometric measurements. Regression results showed that the composite of sports-related fitness measures was the best predictor of executive functions (β = 0.

Background: Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), also known as nitroglycerin, is predominantly recognized as a vasodilator for ischemic heart disease, and its potential neuroprotective properties in acute ischemic stroke remain under exploration. We sought to discover the therapeutic advantages and mechanisms of post-recanalization GTN administration in acute ischemic stroke.
Methods And Results: A total of 118 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into groups: sham, transient/permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) with or without GTN treatment, and transient/permanent MCAO treated with both GTN and KT5823, an inhibitor of PKG.
