Contractile responses to PGF2 alpha of isolated coronary arteries from 7 healthy and 12 alloxan-diabetic dogs without ketosis were considerably increased by indomethacin and decreased by PGI2. The increasing effect of indomethacin was more prominent on diabetic vessels than on those of normal animals while PGI2 had the same relaxant potency in both groups. The contractions induced by PGF2 alpha were inhibited more effectively by PGI2 than those evoked by PGE2 both in healthy and alloxan-diabetic groups.

Post-transseptal puncture re-entrant atrial tachycardia mimicking typical flutter.
Acta Cardiol
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, CHU HELORA Jolimont Hospital, La Louvière, Belgium.
This case report discusses the management of a 75-year-old man who developed an unusual type of atypical atrial flutter following a previous pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Despite a second attempt to re-isolate the pulmonary veins and performing cavotricuspid isthmus ablation (which was suspected to be part of the arrythmia circuit), the flutter continued and was converted to sinus rhythm through electrical cardioversion. A few weeks later, the patient's atrial tachycardia relapsed.

Background: Atrial infarction is a complication of myocardial infarction with ventricular infarction; however, isolated atrial infarction (IAI) has rarely been reported. Herein, we report a case of IAI associated with sick sinus syndrome and atrial fibrillation (AF).

Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the most commonly monitored inflammatory markers in patients with COVID-19 to gain insight into the inflammation level in the body and to adopt effective disease management and therapeutic strategies. COVID-19 is now less prevalent, and the study of CRP as a biomarker of inflammation still needs deeper understanding, particularly in understanding its role among patients with comorbidities, which are known to influence inflammatory responses and increase the risk of severe outcomes during acute and chronic infectious diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of major comorbidities such as ischemic heart diseases, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and lung infections e.

Angiotensin Receptor Neprilysin Inhibitor (ARNI) has not shown to be promising in Heart failure with preserved LVEF. Role of ARNI in Right ventricular systolic dysfunction with preserved LVEF needs to be evaluated. We took 50 patients with isolated RV systolic dysfunction and divided them into two groups of 25 patients each- Conventional treatment and ARNI in addition to conventional treatment.

J Med Internet Res
January 2025
School of Public Health, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel.
Background: Increasing life expectancy has led to a rise in nursing home admissions, a context in which older adults often experience chronic physical and mental health conditions, chronic pain, and reduced well-being. Nonpharmacological approaches are especially important for managing older adults' chronic pain, mental health conditions (such as anxiety and depression), and overall well-being, including sensory stimulation (SS) and therapist support (TS). However, the combined effects of SS and TS have not been investigated.
