What To Know About New Research on Coffee and Heart Risks
Coffee lovers—and their doctors—have long wondered whether a jolt of java can affect the heart. New research published Wednesday finds that drinking caffeinated coffee did not significantly affect one kind of heart hiccup that can feel like a skipped beat.
But it did signal a slight increase in another type of irregular heartbeat in people who drank more than one cup per day. And it found that people tend to walk more and sleep less on the days they drank coffee.
Coffee is one of the most common beverages in the world. In the U.S., two-thirds of Americans drink coffee every day, more than bottled water, tea or ...

How Does Ebstein ’ s Anomaly Present?
Discussion
Ebstein’s anomaly (EA) accounts for about 0.3-0.5% of all congenital heart disease and about 40% of all tricuspid valve (TV) pathologies. It was first described by Dr. William Ebstein in 1866.
In EA’s simplest form, the TV is displaced inferiorly from the normal hinge points into the right ventricle (RV). This is caused by delamination of both the septal and mural leaflets and they usually form a combined leaflet which can be more adherent to the RV. These anatomical changes causes poor movement of the leaflet(s) and tricuspid regurgitation. Displacement inferiorly can cause decreased RV capacity and...

Reevaluation of ambiguous genetic variants in sudden unexplained deaths of a young cohort - Martinez-Barrios E, Sarquella-Brugada G, Perez-Serra A, Fernandez-Falgueras A, Cesar S, Alcalde M, Coll M, Puigmul é M, Iglesias A, Ferrer-Costa C, Del Olmo B, Picó F, López L, Fiol V, Cruzalegui J, Hernandez C, Arbelo E, Díez-Escuté N, Cerralbo P, Grassi S, Oliva A, Toro R, Brugada J, Brugada R, Campuzano O.
Sudden death cases in the young population remain without a conclusive cause of decease in almost 40% of cases. In these situations, cardiac arrhythmia of genetic origin is suspected as the most plausible cause of death. Molecular autopsy may reveal a gene... (Source: SafetyLit)

Do Epsom Salts Help?
Discussion
Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. It is named Epsom from the town in England, close to London where it was supposedly discovered.
Magnesium is an important trace element. It is a co-factor for ATP metabolism, DNA and RNA synthesis and regulation, and multiple other enzymatic reactions.
Hypermagnesemia is quite uncommon and usually would occur because of renal insufficiency or being iatrogenically produced. Hypomagnesemia is a serum concentration of < 0.75 mmol/L. Symptoms are often non-specific such as lethargy, anxiety, headache, decreased appetite, nausea and sleeping problems. Muscle spasms and muscle assoc...

Real-World Study Shows Patients Treated with IMBRUVICA ® (ibrutinib) Were Less Likely to Initiate a Next-Line Treatment than Patients on Acalabrutinib in First-line Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
NEW ORLEANS, December 12, 2022 – The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson today announced results of a real-world study showing that patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treated with first-line acalabrutinib monotherapy were 89 percent more likely to start a next-line treatment than those treated with IMBRUVICA® (ibrutinib).[1] These data suggest the potential that first-line treatment with IMBRUVICA® in routine practice may provide patients with the ability to use once-daily, all-oral IMBRUVICA® as a monotherapy treatment for a longer period without the need to start the next line of ...
