Alterations in content of histamine, serotonin and in the activity of diamine oxidase from brain, heart auricle, lungs and gastrocnemius muscle were found to have various directions in prolonged training (swimming) of rats. Content of histamine and serotonin was altered in lungs and, especially, in heart muscle; in brain and muscle tissues distinct alterations were not observed. Relative histaminemia was developed in heart auricle and lungs as demonstrated by the increase in content of histamine and by the decrease of the diamine oxidase activity in these tissues. Complete exhaustion of serotonin in heart auricle caused a distinct increase in the histamine-serotonin ratio. High effectiveness of retabolyle was shown in maintenance of histamine and serotonin metabolism under prolonged swimming. But when the animals swam with a load, content of serotonin was decreased in heart auricle even after administration of retabolyle. Adaptation of rats to the prolonged physical exercise (swimming) was apparently related to the compensatory function of an organism that was reflected in the studied mechanisms of trophotropic regulation.

We present a case of spontaneous hemorrhage in an emphysematous bulla, complicated by anticoagulation. Bullous emphysema is a well-recognized complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and a rare manifestation is hemorrhage into preexisting pulmonary bullae. A 69-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with hemoptysis, shortness of breath, and productive cough.

Introduction: Decreased left atrial appendage emptying velocity (LAAV) is a marker for thrombus formation. This study evaluates the association between LAAV and inflammatory indices in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) patients.
Methods: The study population was 1428 patients with AF, 875 of whom enrolled.

Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility of utilizing cardiac computer tomography (CT) images for extracting the radiomic features of the myocardium at the junction between the left atrial appendage (LAA) and the left atrium (LA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and to evaluate its asscociation with the risk of AF.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 82 cases of AF and 56 cases in the control group who underwent cardiac CT at our hospital from May 2022 to May 2023, with recorded clinical information. The morphological parameters of the LAA were measured.

Purpose: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common chronic cardiac arrhythmia that increases the risk of stroke, primarily due to thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) devices offer an alternative to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention. However, the complex and variable anatomy of the LAA presents significant challenges to device design and deployment.
