Aim: The diagnostic criteria for type 2 myocardial infarction identify a heterogenous group of patients with variable outcomes and no clear treatment implications. We aimed to determine the implications of a new clinical classification for myocardial infarction with more objective diagnostic criteria using cardiac imaging.
Methods: In a prospective cohort study, patients with type 2 myocardial infarction underwent coronary angiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging or echocardiography.

Snakebite envenoming remains a devastating and neglected tropical disease, claiming over 100,000 lives annually and causing severe complications and long-lasting disabilities for many more. Three-finger toxins (3FTx) are highly toxic components of elapid snake venoms that can cause diverse pathologies, including severe tissue damage and inhibition of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, resulting in life-threatening neurotoxicity. At present, the only available treatments for snakebites consist of polyclonal antibodies derived from the plasma of immunized animals, which have high cost and limited efficacy against 3FTxs.

Background: Experiences of household food insecurity are associated with a wide range of deleterious nutritional, developmental, psychological and social consequences for children. Children's distinct experiences of food insecurity, compared to adults, have been identified in diverse economic and cultural contexts. Yet historically, measurement of food insecurity in children has been predominantly reported by adult respondents on behalf of children, potentially underestimating prevalence and neglecting their unique perspectives.

Structural, architectural, contractile or electrophysiological alterations may occur in the left atrium (LA). The concept of LA cardiopathy is supported by accumulating scientific evidence demonstrating that LA remodeling has become a cornerstone diagnostic and prognostic marker. The structure and the function of LA and left atrial appendage (LAA) which is an integral part of the LA, are key elements for a better understanding of multiple clinical conditions, most notably atrial fibrillation (AF), cardioembolism, heart failure and mitral valve diseases.

Aim: Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) poses significant treatment challenges due to a lack of consensus on the diverse range of surgical approaches routinely employed, prompting a renewed focus on the patient experience. The aim of this study was to explore the lived experience of patients with PSD to better inform future person-centred treatment.
Method: A systematic review was performed to identify papers reporting qualitative studies on the lived experience of PSD.
