1534Takotsubo Syndrome Following Emergency Decompression for Acute Cervical Spinal Epidural Hematoma: A Case Report.
Takayama K, Ono Y, Yamada I, Kotani J
BACKGROUND Spinal epidural hematoma is a rare emergency that can occur after minor neck movement and involve the cervical and upper thoracic levels, potentially causing autonomic imbalance. Takotsubo ...
Cell Type-Specific Targeting of Different Smooth Muscle Cell Populations by Intersectional Genetics.
Wang L, Staps M, Günther S, El Agha E, Bellusci S, Kuenne C, Du J, Schneider A, Braun T
BACKGROUND: The Cre/loxP recombination system is the main tool for cell type-specific lineage tracing and gene targeting. Currently available smooth muscle cell (SMC)-specific Cre mouse lines show...
Hydroxysafflor Yellow A Attenuates Sepsis-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction by Inhibiting Ferroptosis via Activation of Thioredoxin.
Chen Y, Cai X, Nan W, Peng Z
Ferroptosis is increasingly recognized as a key driver of sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction. Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA), a bioactive flavonoid, shows cardioprotective properties, but its role in ...
A Real-World Disproportionality Analysis of Drug-Induced Heart Failure: Integrating FAERS Database and AHA Statement.
Li D, Dong Y, Yao L, Chen X, Li Y, Deng X, Li J, Wang M, Fu D
Heart failure (HF), the advanced stage of diverse cardiac conditions, poses a significant public health challenge. This study analyzes adverse event (AE) signals associated with HF within the FDA Adve...
Successful Spontaneous Twin Pregnancy Following Bone Marrow Transplant and Gastric Cancer Surgery: A Case Report.
Almuhaisen HKS, AlShubat SA, AlRaqeeb AN, Saeed AlQarni EA
BACKGROUND Pregnancy following bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and treatment for gastric cancer is rare because of gonadotoxic conditioning regimens, major abdominal surgery, and the overall burden ...

Safety and efficacy of anticoagulation for cerebral amyloid angiopathy patients with high-risk atrial fibrillation.
Chen H, Kakadiya J, Salim HA, Essibayi MA, Adcock A, Yedavalli VS, Dmytriw AA, Colasurdo M, Malhotra A, Gandhi D, Lakhani DA
BACKGROUND: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) significantly increases intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) risk and the safety of anticoagulation (AC) among CAA patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is ...
A Mathematical Model for Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotype Switching In Atherosclerotic Plaque.
Ndenda JP, Watson MG, Misra A, Myerscough MR
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play a fundamental role in the development of atherosclerotic plaques. They ingest lipids in a similar way to monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) in the plaque. This can sti...
Moving beyond aspirin after percutaneous coronary intervention: 10-year results from the HOST-EXAM trial.
