The rapid spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has had a dramatic negative impact on public health and economies worldwide. Recent studies on COVID-19 complications and mortality rates suggest that there is a higher prevalence in cardiovascular diseases (CVD) patients. Past investigations on the associations between pre-existing CVDs and susceptibility to coronavirus infections including SARS-CoV and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), have demonstrated similar results.

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Cardiac tissue engineering strategies focusing on biomaterial scaffolds incorporating cells and growth factors are emerging as highly promising for cardiac repair and regeneration. The use of stem cells within cardiac microengineered tissue constructs present an inherent ability to differentiate into cell types of the human heart.

Pitfalls in the diagnosis of new-onset frontal lobe seizures.

Epilepsy Behav Case Rep

We reported the case of a young woman who received an antiepileptic drug after a first possible generalized tonic-clonic seizure with no clear inter-ictal epileptic paroxysms in the routine electroencephalogram. Her stereotypical movements decreased but did not disappear with treatment. Then a diagnosis of PNES was considered by neurologist after witnessing a stereotypical motor episode.

Background: Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) or attacks consist of paroxysmal behavioural changes that resemble an epileptic seizure but are not associated with electrophysiological epileptic changes. They are caused by a psychopathological process and are primarily diagnosed on history and video-EEG. Clinical presentation comprises a wide range of symptoms and signs, which are individually neither totally specific nor sensitive, making positive diagnosis of PNES difficult.

The etiology of sinus mucoceles remains somewhat obscure, but favorizing factors can be broadly divided in two: inflammation and trauma. Patients suffering from nasal polyposis offer a unique group for the study of mucoceles as they present the factor of inflammation related to their polyposis, and the factor of trauma when being treated surgically. In order to establish the relationship between nasal polyposis, mucoceles and nasalisation, we performed a retrospective study on the files of 501 patients operated according to the nasalisation technique.

Previous invasive studies have suggested that coronary flow reserve is impaired in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and symptoms of ischemia. We tested whether transesophageal Doppler, a semiinvasive technique, can detect altered characteristics of baseline coronary blood flow velocity in such patients. Thirty patients with LVH (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 4, aortic stenosis in 17, hypertension in 9) were studied.
