Cardiotoxicity of BRAF/MEK inhibitors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma type B/B‐Raf proto‐oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) and mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitors have transformed outcomes in cancer therapy, particularly in melanoma. However, cardiovascular toxicities are increasingly recognized in real‐world clinical practice.

Air embolism secondary to suspected lymphatic tissue disruption with severe exercise‐induced pulmonary haemorrhage

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Air embolism is rare in horses and typically associated with complications following intravenous catheterisation or other medical procedures. Exercise‐induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) is common in racehorses but not usually associated with air embolism. This report describes a case of air embolism in a 4‐year‐old Thoroughbred with EIPH. The
