Purulent pericarditis caused by methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus bacteriuria
Purulent pericarditis (PP) — a purulent infection involving the pericardial space—requires a high index of suspicion for diagnosis as it often lacks characteristic signs of pericarditis and carries a mortality ... (Source: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders)

Role of vaccination in patients with human monkeypox virus and its cardiovascular manifestations
Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2024 Jan 4;86(3):1506-1516. doi: 10.1097/MS9.0000000000001674. eCollection 2024 Mar.ABSTRACTHuman monkeypox, caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), is an emerging infectious disease with the potential for human-to-human transmission and diverse clinical presentations. While generally considered milder than smallpox, it can lead to severe cardiovascular complications. The virus primarily spreads through contact with infected animals or through human-to-human transmission. Cardiovascular involvement in human monkeypox is rare but has been associated with myocarditis, pericarditis, arrhythmias, and even fu...

Atrial and ventricular strain using cardiovascular magnetic resonance in the prediction of outcomes of pericarditis patients: a pilot study
ConclusionLA reservoir and conduit mechanisms on CMR are independently associated with a higher risk of adverse pericardial events. Including atrial strain parameters in the management of acute pericarditis may improve risk stratification.Clinical relevance statementAtrial strain could be a suitable non-invasive and non-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance parameter for predicting adverse pericardial complications in patients with acute pericarditis.Key Points•Myocardial strain is a well-validated CMR parameter for risk stratification in cardiovascular diseases.•LA reservoir and conduit functions are significantl...

Using combination of albumin to fibrinogen ratio and prognostic nutritional index model for predicting disease activity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
Conclusion: These findings suggest that predictive model based on combination of AFR and PNI may be useful markers to identify active SLE in clinical practice.PMID:38457835 | DOI:10.1177/09612033241238505 (Source: Lupus)

Adverse Events Following COVID-19 Vaccination in Adolescents: Insights From Pharmacovigilance Study of VigiBase
CONCLUSION: In this study, there were disproportionate reporting of immune-related AEs following COVID-19 vaccination. While awaiting definitive evidence, there is a need to closely monitor for any signs of immune-related AEs following COVID-19 vaccination among adolescents.PMID:38442719 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e76 (Source: Journal of Korean Medical Science)
