Impact of Society Guidelines on Trends in Use of Newer P2Y Inhibitors for Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Background: Over the past decade, major society guidelines have recommended the use of newer P2Y inhibitors over clopidogrel for those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for acute coronary syndrome. It is unclear what impact these recommendations had on clinical practice.

Methods And Results: All percutaneous coronary intervention procedures (n=534 210) for acute coronary syndrome in England and Wales (April 1, 2010, to March 31, 2022) were retrospectively analyzed, stratified by choice of preprocedural P2Y inhibitor (clopidogrel, ticagrelor, and prasugrel).

Multifocal hydatidosis with extensive involvement of the sacrum and the femoral head.

Key Clinical Message: Hydatidosis is a parasitic infection caused by the larval form of "Echinococcus granulosis." Bone localization is rare even in endemic areas. We report an unusual case of an extensive hydatidosis of the right sacrum and femur with muscle involvement.

Acquired hemophilia A in a patient with adult-onset Still's disease: Successful treatment with steroids.

Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a potentially life-threatening hemorrhagic disorder with many etiologies. We report the first case in the literature describing the association of AHA with adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD).

Spinal Paget's disease with bilevel cord compression and ischemic non-compressive myelopathy treated with zoledronic acid.

Cord compression and ischemic non-compressive myelopathy are a complication of spinal Paget's disease (SPD). SPD usually touches a single spine level. We report an unusual case with bilevel spinal cord compression and dysfunction which was medically treated due to resolution of the vascular steal syndrome.

Giant retrocrural plasmacytoma as a relapse of multiple myeloma.

The aim of our clinical image is to report an unusual retrocrural plasmacytoma relapsing a multiple myeloma.

Cavitary lung opacity of unusual cause during Behçet disease.

Pulmonary artery aneurysm must be evoked in front of any hemoptysis in a patient with Behçet disease as it requires urgent immunosuppressive therapy and often surgery.

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) and Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST): A case series and review of the literature.

A large proportion of patients with coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) suffer from excessive coagulation activation and coagulopathy which predisposes them to a wide spectrum of thrombotic events including in situ pulmonary thrombosis, deep-vein thrombosis, and associated pulmonary embolism, as well as arterial thrombotic events. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) have also been reported but in a very small number of cases. This report aims to increase awareness about CVST as a potential neurological thromboembolic complication in patients with coronavirus disease.

Pigmented and polypoid tumor of the pubis.

Seborrheic keratosis is a common benign epidermal tumor occurring in patients aged over 50 years. It is located preferentially in the trunk, head and neck. The genital location is rare.

Compound blue nevus: A misleading pigmented melanocytic tumor.

Compound blue nevus had clinical and histological similarities with other heavily pigmented melanocytic tumor, like the pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma. Distinctive genomic aberrations have allowed differentiating it. The defining characteristic of blue nevi family is the presence of activating mutations in the G protein α-subunits, GNAQ and GNA11.

Protective effects of thornback ray muscle protein hydrolysate against dyslipidemia, oxidative stress and reduced fertility induced by high cholesterol diet in adult male rats.

Enzymatic thornback ray () muscle hydrolysates have been shown to have antioxidant and antihypertensive activities . The Neutrase hydrolysate exhibited the highest activities, so it was investigated along with the undigested muscle to test their hypolipidemic, antioxidative and fertility effects in rats fed with a high-cholesterol diet (HCD). Animals were allocated into four groups of 5 rats each: a normal diet group (control), a HCD group, and two groups of HCD with a daily dose of undigested muscle (Und) or the hydrolysate (MH) at 0.

Valproic Acid and Hepatic Steatosis: A Possible Link? About a Case Report.

Background: Valproic acid is a mood-stabilizing anticonvulsant. Hepatic injuries are among the occasionally observed adverse effects of this medication.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 47-year-old man who had bipolar disorder for ten years and treated with valproic acid.
