Iatrogenic injury of coronary arteries is a rare complication for which the incidence has not been reported. This paper presents the case of a 42-year-old man whose preoperative cardiac evaluation revealed a chronic total occlusion in the left anterior descending artery caused by a remote insertion of an epicardial pacemaker lead.

Article Synopsis
  • Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease involving inflammation and other respiratory issues, with mitochondria playing a crucial role in its underlying mechanisms.
  • A bibliometric analysis of research from 2004 to mid-2024 identified 669 publications, showing significant growth in studies since 2015, primarily from the US, China, and the UK.
  • Key themes include mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, with emerging research focusing on mitochondrial biogenesis and the NLRP3 inflammasome, suggesting opportunities for new therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondria in asthma treatment.

A diabetic wound is the most frequent form of chronic wound. Because diabetic wounds have multiple factors contributing to their development, the best treatments involve using a combination of approaches. Herein we assessed whether bioactive and degradable bioengineered micro-porous collagen-based three-dimensional scaffold (CTS) encapsulated with adipose mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs)-derived exosomes could accelerate the wound healing process in diabetic rats.
