We present a very rare case of complete atrioventricular block caused by malignant lymphoma diagnosed before death by transesophageal echocardiography. We believe that early detection of metastatic cardiac involvement of tumor is important for proper diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

Background: Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), a calcium-permeable non-selective cation channel, has been implicated in various cancers, including COAD. This study investigates the role of TRPV4 in colon adenocarcinoma and elucidates its potential mechanism via the ferroptosis pathway.

UV-A exposure is a major risk factor for melanoma, nonmelanoma skin cancer, photoaging, and exacerbation of photodermatoses. Since people spend considerable time in cars daily, inadequate UV-A attenuation by car windows can significantly contribute to the onset or exacerbation of these skin diseases. Given recent market trends in the automobile industry and known impact of car windows on cumulative lifelong UV damage to the skin, there is a need to comparatively evaluate UV transmission across windows in electric vehicles (EV), hybrid vehicles (HV), and gas vehicles (GV) as well as variability based on year of manufacture and mileage to inform car manufacturers and consumers of the potential for UV exposure to the skin based on vehicle.

Background: Surgical intervention is critical in the treatment of hip developmental dysplasia in children. Perioperative analgesia, usually based on high opioid dosages, is frequently used in these patients. In some circumstances, regional anesthetic procedures such as caudal block and lumbar plexus block have also been used.

20-HETE mediates Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy via ROS and Ca signaling in H9c2 cells.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Physiology, Zunyi Medical University, Campus No.1 Road, Xinpu New District, Zunyi, 563006, Guizhou, China.

In the vascular system, angiotensin II (Ang II) mediated vasoconstriction by inducing the production of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE). However, the role of 20-HETE in Ang II-induced cardiac dysfunction had yet to be fully elucidated. This study investigated the effects of Ang II on CYP4A expression and 20-HETE production in H9c2 cells using RT-qPCR, Western blot, and ELISA.

Clotrimazole 1% and Mycozin vaginal cream have been reported to be effective in relieving the symptoms of vulvovaginitis caused by Candida. The resistance to azole compounds, and the side effects of chemical drugs have been reported following azole therapy. It was hypothesized that Mycozin is at least as effective as Clotrimazole in treating vaginal candidiasis.
