The mitral subvalvular apparatus can exhibit complex and unique anatomical variations. Accessory mitral valve chordae (AMVC) typically present as additional thin strands in the left ventricle. Their appearance in the atrium is rare. In the clinical case described, the AMVC was an incidental and intriguing finding during a routine transthoracic echocardiography.

Background: Ebstein's anomaly represents 40% of congenital tricuspid valve abnormalities. Studies about paediatric Ebstein's anomaly patients are limited.
Aim: To evaluate clinical characteristics, treatment (medical/arrhythmia ablation/surgical) results, and outcome of Ebstein's anomaly patients, and to determine factors affecting arrhythmia presence and mortality.
Accessory mitral valve tissue is a rare congenital anomaly often linked to the anterior mitral leaflet, diagnosed via echocardiography. It may cause left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, with prognosis depending on obstruction severity and regular monitoring essential in asymptomatic cases.

The accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) processes chemical signals crucial for species-specific socio-sexual behaviors. There is limited information about the AOB of wild rodents, and this study aims to characterize the neurochemical organization of the AOB in the fossorial water vole (), a subterranean Cricetidae rodent. We employed histological, immunohistochemical, and lectin-histochemical techniques.

The case was a 15-year-old male with a history of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia refractory to medical therapy and prior catheter. A repeat electrophysiology study and catheter ablation were applied. Baseline AH and HV intervals were 100 and 55 ms during normal sinus rhythm (NSR), respectively.
