Mashup Score: 0Acute and Complicated Inflammatory Pericarditis - 3 hour(s) ago
Inflammatory disease of the pericardium represents a relatively common presentation, especially among the young. For the most part, inflammatory pericardial disease can be expeditiously and effectively managed without significant sequelae. However, some individuals present with severe and recurrent illness, representing significant therapeutic challenges. During the past decade, there have been great strides made in developing an evidence-based approach to management of inflammatory pericardial disease, the result of which has been the development of (1) a systematic, protocoled approach to initial care; (2) targeted therapeutics; and (3) specialized, collaborative, and integrated care pathways.

The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions adult shock classification for acute cardiac disease also demonstrates robust mortality risk stratification for other patients in intensive care units. This study assesses trends, medical burden, and hospitalization-associated outcomes in patients with alcohol-related and non-alcohol-related WE, an acute and life-threatening neurological disorder.

Mashup Score: 040-Year-Old Woman Presenting With Heartburn - 2 day(s) ago
A 40-year-old woman presented to the outpatient clinic with a 3-month history of worsening heartburn and regurgitation. Symptoms occurred nearly daily, were worse after spicy foods and carbonated beverages, and were relieved by calcium carbonate. She had no associated fever, weight loss, changes in bowel habits, or dysphagia. She had never traveled internationally. Her medical history was notable only for bipolar I disorder well controlled with lithium and quetiapine. She had no history of abdominal surgery or tobacco use, and she consumed 4 ounces of wine 3 to 4 times per week.

Art is integrated into the Mayo Clinic environment. Since the original Mayo Clinic Building was finished in 1914, many pieces have been donated or commissioned for patients and staff to enjoy. Each issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings features a work of art (as interpreted by the author) that is displayed in a building or on the grounds of Mayo Clinic campuses.

Mashup Score: 0Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Clinical Pearls for Primary Care Providers and Gastroenterologists - 3 day(s) ago
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic and progressive immune-mediated esophageal disorder. Given its increasing incidence, it is now a leading cause of dysphagia and food impaction in the United States. Eosinophilic esophagitis is most common in adult White men and has a high concurrence rate with other atopic conditions like allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, and eczema. The initial presentation includes symptoms of esophageal dysfunction, classically solid-food dysphagia. Without treatment, inflammation can progress to fibrosis with the formation of strictures, leading to complications such as food impaction.

Mashup Score: 1State of Gene Therapy for Monogenic Cardiovascular Diseases - 5 day(s) ago
Over the past 2 decades, significant efforts have been made to advance gene therapy into clinical practice. Although successful examples exist in other fields, gene therapy for the treatment of monogenic cardiovascular diseases lags behind. In this review, we (1) highlight a brief history of gene therapy, (2) distinguish between gene silencing, gene replacement, and gene editing technologies, (3) discuss vector modalities used in the field with a special focus on adeno-associated viruses, (4) provide examples of gene therapy approaches in cardiomyopathies, channelopathies, and familial hypercholesterolemia, and (5) present current challenges and limitations in the gene therapy field.
