Sideroblastic anemia is characterized by anemia, granulocytopenia, and bone marrow findings of vacuolated precursors and ringed sideroblasts. Zinc-induced copper deficiency can present as sideroblastic anemia and neutropenia. We report the case of a previously healthy 74-year-old female who presented with newly discovered sideroblastic anemia as a result of an over-the-counter oral vitamin and mineral supplement.

Article Synopsis
  • Left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction significantly increases the risk of heart failure and premature death, highlighting the need for effective screening methods.
  • Researchers developed a deep learning algorithm that analyzes ECG images to detect LV systolic dysfunction and validated its accuracy using data from multiple hospitals and cohorts.
  • The model showed strong performance, achieving high accuracy metrics (AUROC values above 0.90) across different clinical settings, demonstrating its potential as a reliable screening tool for heart dysfunction.

Objective: Postoperative wound infection in cardiac surgery remains a subject of significant concern due to associated morbidity, prolonged hospital stay and rise in treatment cost. A conservative management approach to postoperative wound infection with topical dressings and healing by secondary intention is not cost-effective and cosmetic results are less acceptable. We developed our institutional protocol for the treatment of infected postoperative cardiac surgical wounds to reduce hospital stay and improve cosmetic outcome.
