Pediatric acute paradoxical cerebral embolism with pulmonary embolism caused by extremely small patent foramen ovale

open access: yesOpen Medicine, 2018
Herein, we report a pediatric case of acute paradoxical cerebral embolism complicated by serious acute pulmonary embolism that was caused by an extremely small patent foramen ovale (PFO). The patient had no medical history suggestive of any other reason.

Improved outcomes in elderly patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia using a paediatric‐based protocol—A prospective study

open access: yesBritish Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
In this population‐based study the relapse rates were remarkably low in patients reaching day 79 with active treatment, challenging the widely accepted belief that ALL is difficult to cure in the elderly. Summary Population data have shown that the prognosis for elderly patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is poor, even in the modern era ...

Acute ECG ST-segment elevation mimicking myocardial infarction in a patient with pulmonary embolism

open access: yesCardiovascular Ultrasound, 2010
Pulmonary embolism is a common cardiovascular emergency, but it is still often misdiagnosed due to its unspecific clinical symptoms. Elevated troponin concentrations are associated with greater morbidity and mortality in patients with pulmonary embolism.

Classification of Platelet‐Activating Anti‐Platelet Factor 4 Disorders

open access: yesInternational Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The prototypic anti‐platelet factor 4 (PF4) disorder—heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HITT)—features immunoglobulin G (IgG) class antibodies that activate platelets, monocytes, and neutrophils in a mainly heparin‐dependent fashion via Fcγ receptor‐dependent cellular activation.

Minimizing Atrioesophageal Fistula Risk After AF Ablation: Risk Factors, Prevention, and Emerging Mini‐Thermal Technology

open access: yesPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atrial esophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but life‐threatening complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, linked to thermal injuries by conventional radiofrequency (RF) and cryo‐balloon (CB) ablation techniques. AEF risk can be mitigated by considering several measures such as tailored power settings of ablation technique, mechanical ...

Cellular and molecular cross‐talk in atrial fibrillation: The role of non‐cardiomyocytes in creating an arrhythmogenic substrate

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Illustration of cellular and molecular cross‐talk in atrial fibrillation. Left: a schematic of cardiac tissue showing cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, adipocytes, inflammatory cells and the coagulation system. Right: direct and indirect cross‐talk between different cell types, with the impact of direct cross‐talk on action potential (

Haemodynamic‐energetic mechanism of sudden cardiac death in severe aortic stenosis: A modelling study

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A sudden decrease in total peripheral resistance (TPR), as observed during vasovagal syncope, leads to a reduction in aortic systolic pressure (AO pressure) and afterload. In healthy individuals, the consequent decrease in left ventricular systolic pressure (LV pressure) lowers stroke work and myocardial energy expenditure.

Individual and Comorbid Influences of Chronic Stress and a Western Diet on Allostatic Loads and Cardiac Resilience, Adaptation and Proteome Profiles in Male Mice

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2025.
These findings support positive interactions between common risk factors in comorbid development of cardiovascular and affective disorders. Mitochondrial and innate defense paths may contribute to the influences of diet, stress, and preconditioning.
