Impact of software tools and kinetic model selection on myocardial blood flow and flow reserve quantitation in 13N‐ammonia PET

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Background Quantitative assessment of myocardial perfusion using 13N‐ammonia PET with compartmental modeling enables evaluation of myocardial flow reserve (MFR) and prediction of patient prognosis. However, the reliability of these assessments can depend on the analytical methods used for quantitation.

Primary Cardiac Lymphoma: A Diagnostically Challenging Case Report

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This case highlights the diagnostic difficulties of PCL, including non‐specific symptoms, imaging mimics, and the critical role of histopathological confirmation despite technical and clinical challenges. Early multidisciplinary evaluation is essential to improve outcomes in this aggressive disease.

Reassessing Discordant Exudative Pleural Effusion in Heart Failure: A Rare Case of Occult Malignancy Uncovered by Post‐Thoracentesis Tension Pneumothorax

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Pleural effusions can be manifestations of heart failure, pulmonary embolism, infection, and malignancy. Symptom assessment, imaging, and pleural fluid analysis serve as key determinants in guiding clinical management. We present the case of a 75‐year‐old woman with a history of heart failure who developed worsening dyspnea and lower extremity

Quantitative Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion in Physiological and Pathological Hypertrophy Using Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography

open access: yesClinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2026.
Myocardial hypertrophy can be classified into physiological and pathological types based on etiology, with significant differences in clinical outcomes. This study utilized myocardial contrast echocardiography to quantitatively assess myocardial microcirculatory perfusion in patients with different types of hypertrophy.

Application of Digital, Web‐Based, and Online Strategies in Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Training: A Scoping Review

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Ultrasound is a commonly used modality in healthcare. Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is performed at the patient's bedside with many purported benefits. Aims Given its increasingly popularity, this scoping review examined the role of digital, web‐based, and online educational strategies for POCUS. Methods Adhering to Joanna Briggs

Pharmacological inhibition of hydroxysteroid 11‐beta dehydrogenase type 1 (11‐βHSD1) after myocardial infarction preserves cardiac function in a translational mini‐pig model

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 10, Page 2236-2255, May 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose Plasma glucocorticoids increase acutely after MI, thereafter tissue levels are amplified selectively within cells expressing 11‐ßhydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11‐ßHSD1) that regenerates active glucocorticoids from circulating metabolites.

Prevalence and Spectrum of Congenital Heart Disease in Individuals With Distal Chromosome 22q11.22–23 Deletions

open access: yesClinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 5, Page 859-868, May 2026.
The frequency and severity of congenital heart disease vary extensively in individuals with 22q11.22–23 distal deletions. Reduced gene dosage particularly within the low copy repeat (LCR22) D–E region including MAPK1 and HIC2 conveys risk for these defects.

T Cell Receptor Repertoires Across the Continuum of Vascular, Myocardial, and Age‐Related Diseases

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, Volume 339, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are shaped by a complex interplay with immune mechanisms. In particular, the distinct roles of antigen‐specific T cell mechanisms are emerging as critical determinants across a broad spectrum of conditions, ranging from atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF), and myocarditis. Because these
