Early Recurrence of Cardiac Myxomas in an Adolescent With Carney Complex: Clinical Clues Preceding Imaging Findings-A Case Report. [PDF]
Background Carney complex is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by multiple cardiac myxomas with early onset and high recurrence rates, associated with a significant risk of intracardiac obstruction and embolic events. Case Presentation A female patient was diagnosed at age 14 with multiple intracardiac masses involving both atria and the

Acenocoumarol – a historical overview and its place in modern anticoagulant therapy [PDF]
Acenocoumarol, a vitamin K antagonist (VKA), has played a pivotal role in anticoagulant therapy for over 60 years. Derived from the coumarin family, acenocoumarol inhibits vitamin K epoxide reductase, disrupting the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent ...

A C1173T dimorphism in the VKORC1 gene determines coumarin sensitivity and bleeding risk. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: A C1173T polymorphism in intron 1 of the VKORC1 gene has been claimed to determine the interindividual variability in the response to vitamin K antagonist therapy (VKA), but it is unknown whether it also influences bleeding risk.

Population Genomics Insights into Pharmacogenomic Differentiation Between East Asians and Europeans
Genetic variation contributes substantially to interindividual and interpopulation differences in drug response, yet most pharmacogenomic studies remain biased toward European populations. Here, we systematically assessed pharmacogenomic variation across East Asians (EAS) and Europeans (EUR) using public genomic datasets and investigated the potential ...
