Objective: ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, seen in children and adolescents, and is often treated with various pharmacological agents, especially methylphenidate. There are differing opinions in the literature regarding the cardiovascular safety of long-term methylphenidate use. Studies suggest that the drug may increase the risk of hypertension, myocardial infarction, ventricular arrhythmia, sudden cardiac death, cardiomyopathy, heart failure (HF), pulmonary hypertension, and stroke.

Objectives: Cardiovascular complications are well known in humans with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD), but limited data exist for cats. This study aimed to assess echocardiographic changes, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels and systolic blood pressure (SBP) in Persian cats with PKD to detect early cardiac abnormalities.
Methods: In total, 52 Persian and mixed-Persian cats were enrolled, with 26 cats in the control group and 26 diagnosed with PKD via ultrasound due to the unavailability of genetic testing.

The effects of T4 are mainly manifested by positive ino- and chronotropism. The syndrome accompanying hypothyroidism in rabbits (impaired myocardial contractility and reduced ejection capacity) is caused by a deficiency of thyroid hormones - especially T4. The study group consisted of a total of 41 animals: 15 males and 26 females, ranging in age from 2 months to 8 years, with echocardiogram showing reduced fractional shortening (<30%), with normal results of heamatological and biochemical tests.

Introduction: The right ventricle (RV) lies on the left ventricle (LV), and their shapes and movements are characteristic and significantly different. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE)-derived LV strains, which represent LV contractility as quantitative features, and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) as determined by M-mode echocardiography, which represents the longitudinal movement of the RV, in healthy adults.
Methods: A total of 79 healthy adults (mean age: 28.

To analyze the ultrasonographic measurements of inferior vena cava (IVC) and abdominal aorta in healthy full-term neonates throughout the early postnatal period. Prospective observational study was conducted. A total of 132 healthy full-term neonates, who were born at the Kunshan First People's Hospital between May 1 and August 30, 2023, were enrolled as the study subjects.
