Osteoporosis is a chronic disease that is characterized by a loss of bone density, which mainly affects the microstructure of the bones due to a decrease in bone mass, thereby making them more fragile and susceptible to fractures. Osteoporosis is currently considered one of the pandemics of the 21st century, affecting around 200 million people. Its most serious consequence is an increased risk of bone fractures, thus making osteoporosis a major cause of disability and even premature death in the elderly.

We describe a rare case of a male adolescent with anomalous aortic origin of the left coronary artery from the right sinus with intraseptal course (L-ACAO-IS), which was diagnosed at transthoracic echocardiography. The case we presented confirms how echocardiography is accurate in the diagnosis of even challenging coronary artery origin anomalies such as L-ACO-IS. Coronary artery origin evaluation should be an integral part of echocardiography examinations in infants, children, and young adults, especially those undergoing physical activity.

In this work, strategies for the detection of pyrimidine-rich DNA target sequences based on the formation of duplex and antiparallel triplex structures are studied. The presence of the target is detected from the changes in fluorescence of silver nanoclusters stabilized by the corresponding complementary DNA probes. In all cases, the formation of intermolecular structures has been assessed by means of melting experiments and multivariate analysis.
