Background: Acute psychological stress can provoke mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) in coronary artery disease (CAD). Stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) is released in response to hypoxia, and higher levels of SDF1 are associated with adverse outcomes. We examined whether an increase in SDF1 level in response to mental stress predicts adverse outcomes in CAD patients.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS), Type 2 diabetes (T2D), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) share an inflammatory etiology and are known to be influenced by diet. We investigated associations of hypothesized prooxidative (Fe) and antioxidative (Zn, Mg, β-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E) micronutrients with incident MetS, T2D, and CVD in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. Participants, 45-84 y at baseline (2000-2002), were followed through 2010.

We describe a rare case of Pneumocystic jirovecii-associated organizing pneumonia (PJP) in an HIV-infected individual on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) with a CD4(+) T-cell count of 835 x 10(3) cells/mL and a low viral load. PJP was confirmed using transbronchial biopsies and bronchoalveolar lavage. The presentation in this patient suggests immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) after institution of antiretroviral therapy (ART).
