Pulmonary Vein Stenosis Mimicking Nonspecific Interstitial Pneumonia by Karthika R. Linga, Andras Khoor, Jonathan A. Phelan, Isabel Mira-Avendano

“…We describe the case of a 39-year-old woman who presented from an outside hospital with worsening shortness of breath after catheter ablation of pulmonary veins for atrial fibrillation. After an initial diagnosis of pneumonia and its nonimprovement with antibiotics, a surgical lung biopsy was done and interpreted as nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) with vascular changes consistent with pulmonary arterial hypertension. …”

Biochemical analysis to study wild-type and polyglutamine-expanded ATXN3 species. by Grégoire Quinet, María Cristina Paz-Cabrera, Raimundo Freire

“…In vitro studies with mass spectrometry techniques revealed a time-dependent aggregation of polyglutamine-expanded ATXN3 that occurs in several steps, leading to fibrils formation, a high status of aggregation. For in vivo experiments though, the techniques commonly used to demonstrate aggregation of polyglutamine proteins, such as filter trap assays, SDS-PAGE and SDS-AGE, are unable to unequivocally show all the stages of aggregation of wild type and polyglutamine-expanded ATXN3 proteins. …”

Markers of inflammation before and after coronary artery bypass grafting and the effectiveness of statins by O.J. Zharinov, O.A. Yepanchintseva, I.V. Shklianka, A.I. Kurchenko, B.M. Todurov

“…Statin medications reveal highly anti-inflammatory activity and reduce the risk of coronary events and atrial fibrillation after CABG surgery. The use of statins before and after revascularization surgery reduces the risk of acute coronary syndrome and the level of perioperative mortality by 30–42 %, and is effective for the prevention of complications within one year after CABG surgery.…”
