Molecular Creep Induced Fatigue Rupture of Fibrin Clots
Fibrin networks in thrombi paradoxically exhibit low fatigue resistance despite high fracture energy, as cyclic loading triggers irreversible α‐to‐β transitions in fibrin molecules, causing molecular creep, crack propagation. Multiscale experiments, modeling reveal how nanoscale conformational damage accumulates, linking molecular disorder to ...

Repositioning Antimicrobial Peptides Against WHO‐Priority Fungi
The growing burden of drug‐resistant fungal infections, driven by pathogens such as Candida auris, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus, underscores the urgent need for novel antifungal therapies. This review explores antimicrobial peptides as promising agents with membrane‐disruptive activity, immunomodulatory properties, and delivery ...

Almost a Double Whammy! Acute Pulmonary Embolism and an Impending Paradoxical Embolism
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a relatively common cardiovascular disorder with high early mortality rates, despite advances in diagnosis and treatment. The risk of mortality is quite high in case the diagnosis is missed.

Pulmonary embolism and patent foramen ovale thrombosis: the key role of TEE
This is a case report of a 35 young man with Klinefelter Syndrome presented breathlessness, palpitations and chest pain. It shows a rare case of a thrombus located through the PFO, in patient with pulmonary and paradoxical embolism, which takes back to ...

Patent Foramen Ovale and Stroke–Current Status [PDF]
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is growing in clinical interest because of a renewed focus on embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), the PFO attributable fraction (the 10-point Risk of Paradoxical Embolism score), technical advances in PFO diagnosis ...
