A Rare Case of Vasospasm Presenting with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Leading to Total Occlusion
Turk Kardiyol Dern Ars. 2023 Sep;51(6):415-418. doi: 10.5543/tkda.2023.73858.ABSTRACTCoronary vasospasm is characterized by transient and reversible vasoconstriction that can cause myocardial ischemia. Patients with acute coronary syndrome may present to the emergency department with various clinical features, including mortal arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Coronary angiography was performed in a 61-year-old male patient with the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome due to recurrent angina attacks and dynamic changes in electrocardiography. In the patient whose critical stenosis was not detected in the first imaging, ang...

Trends in Management of Anal Fissures
This study describes trends in treatment with medical therapies (calcium-channel blockers [CCBs], nitroglycerin [NTG], and narcotics) and surgical treatments.METHODS: Cohorts were created within the TriNetX database platform using codes for anal fissures and surgical interventions. Demographics were compared between patients that received surgical intervention within 1 year of diagnosis, CCB or NTG within 1 year (or preoperatively), or narcotics within 30 days or postoperatively vs those who did not.RESULTS: 121,213 patients were included of which 4.0% had surgical intervention. Factors associated with surgical interventio...

Case report: A combination of nitroglycerin and adenosine proves effective in repairing a cerebral arteriovenous malformation
This report suggests that nitroglycerin infusion can be combined with adenosine boluses to create a pronounced and dose-dependent hypotension in patients partially unresponsive to adenosine alone. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Potential analgesic effect of Foshousan oil-loaded chitosan-alginate nanoparticles on the treatment of migraine
Conclusion: FSSO-loaded CS-AL NPs could attenuate migraine via inhibiting neuroinflammation in LPS-stimulated BV-2 cells and regulating vasoactive substances in NTG-induced migraine mice. These findings suggest that the FSS formula may be exploited as new phytotherapy for treating migraine. (Source: Frontiers in Pharmacology)

Prevention of Preterm Labor by Isosorbide Dinitrate and Nitroglycerin Patch
CONCLUSION: Complications and the number of contractions were not statistically different in the two groups. We concluded that the TNG patch is more effective than ISD in delaying labor. Both drugs are likely to have a similar incidence of side effects.PMID:37594102 | DOI:10.2174/1871529X23666230818092437 (Source: Cardiovascular and Hematological Disorders Drug Targets)
