AIMS: The pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to left-sided heart disease (Group 2 PH) is distinct from that of other groups of PH, yet there are still no approved therapies that selectively target pulmonary circulation. The increase in pulmonary capillary pressure due to left-sided heart disease is a trigger event for physical and biological alterations of the pulmonary circulation, including the nitric oxide (NO)-soluble guanylate cyclase-cyclic guanosine monophosphate axis...

OBJECTIVES: There is a need for CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) lung segmentation models. Clinical translation requires radiological evaluation of model outputs, understanding of limitations, and identification of failure points. This multicentre study aims to develop an accurate CTPA lung segmentation model, with evaluation of outputs in two diverse patient cohorts with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and interstitial lung disease (ILD). METHODS: This retrospective study develops an nnU-Net-based segmentation model using data from two specialist centres (UK and USA)...

The incidence of sebaceous carcinoma (SC) in the outer one-third of the external auditory canal is considered extremely rare, and only eight case reports have been published. We present a case of a male patient in his late 70s known case of hypertension on indapamide. His medical history included a postspinal tumour that had been treated with surgery and radiation more than 40 years ago and current complaints of right ear pain and purulent discharge. A right ear soft granular tissue mass was found. Complete debulking of the right ear mass was done in conjunction with middle ear exploration, moderately differentiated SC diagnosis was made based on the histopathological analysis...

Refractory hypoglycaemia in a patient with a solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is very rare and was first reported in 1930 independently by Doege and Potter, leading to it being named 'Doege-Potter syndrome'. Here, we report the unusual case of a 77-year-old woman with a giant solitary fibrous pleural tumour who presented with complicating pulmonary hypertension and associated heart failure with hypoglycaemia, and subsequently underwent curative resection of the pleural mass with clinical improvement.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is common, with an estimated prevalence of approximately 1% that increases with age. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is key to institute timely and appropriate therapy to improve symptoms and prognosis. The international guidelines for the diagnosis and management of PH have recently been updated, with a lowering of the haemodynamic threshold for diagnosis to a mean pulmonary artery pressure >20 mmHg. New diagnostic algorithms and revised indications for screening in at-risk groups have been developed to facilitate early referral to specialist PH centres...

Cardiopulmonary complications of connective tissue diseases (CTDs), particularly pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and interstitial lung disease (ILD), are major determinants of morbidity and mortality. Multidisciplinary meetings may improve diagnostic accuracy and optimise treatment. We review the literature regarding multidisciplinary meetings in CTD-ILD and PAH and describe our tertiary centre experience of the role of the multidisciplinary meeting in managing CTD-PAH.

AIMS: Patients with heart failure (HF) exhibit poor prognosis, which is further deteriorated by pulmonary hypertension (PH), with negative impact on morbidity and mortality. As PH due to left HF (LHF-PH) is among the most common causes of PH, there is an urge according to the 2021 European Society of Cardiology HF guidelines to find new biomarkers that aid in prognostication of this patient cohort. Given the role of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in HF progression, we aimed to investigate the prognostic value of plasma proteins related to TNF-α in patients with LHF-PH, in relation to haemodynamic changes following heart transplantation (HT)...

BACKGROUND: Current guideline-recommended multiparameters used to assess the risk levels of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are invasive hemodynamic measurements or effort-dependent exercise tests. Serum natriuretic peptide is only one kind of effort-free biomarker that has been adopted for risk assessment. This study aimed to investigate the application of homocysteine as a non-invasive and effort-free measurement for the risk assessment of patients with PAH. METHODS: Samples of 50 patients diagnosed with PAH via right heart catheterization were obtained, and the patients were divided into low-, intermediate- and high-risk groups for further analysis...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rapidly progressing cardiopulmonary disease. It is characterized by increased pulmonary artery pressure and vascular resistance. The most notable histopathological characteristic is vascular remodeling. The changes in the basement membrane (BM) are believed to be related to vascular remodeling. It is crucial to identify potential biomarkers associated with the BM in PAH, to guide its treatment. The microarray datasets GSE117261 and GSE113439 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus...

BACKGROUND: Asthma is characterized by chronic inflammation and remodeling of pulmonary vessels and airway wall resulting in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Increased afterload on right ventricle (RV) myocardium leads to RV diastolic dysfunction (RVDD). Echocardiography is an excellent tool to detect these changes early. Using echocardiography, we assessed the impact of clinical asthma phenotypes on myocardial performance and PH in children with asthma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty children with moderate or severe persistent asthma and 60 age and gender-matched healthy controls were enrolled...

Little awareness persists of how pregnancy worsens cardiac diseases. We wish to highlight the challenges in managing pulmonary hypertension (PH) in pregnancy, within low socioeconomic environments. A 31-year-old G3P1A1 of 5 months gestation presented with worsening dyspnea and extremital edema. She had a history of heart disease with no cardiologist follow-up. She was diagnosed with type I/II PH at 4 months gestation. Her ultrasound revealed intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). She was referred for pregnancy termination...

Symptomatic isolated celiac artery (CA) dissection (SICAD) is an extremely rare form of visceral artery dissection. It is diagnosed by a contrast abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showing a CA dissection (CAD). There are 4 types of CAD: Type I-IV. Type I has entry and re-entry and no true luminal narrowing. All types other than type I have entry and re-entry. They have true lumen compression and true lumen constriction due to false lumen. We report a case with the longest follow-up, 120 months after symptom onset, without evidence of CAD exacerbation...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe disease resulting from progressive increases in pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary vascular remodeling, ultimately leading to right ventricular failure and even death. Hypoxia, inflammation, immune reactions, and epigenetic modifications all play significant contributory roles in the mechanism of PAH. Increasingly, epigenetic changes and their modifying factors involved in reprogramming through regulation of methylation or the immune microenvironment have been identified...

INTRODUCTION: The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has affected more people and destroyed a local public health facility. When some territories in Ukraine were de-occupied, national and international mobile clinics (MCs) were involved for medical assistance to local inhabitants. Knowledge about population health, medical, and humanitarian needs after they have been de-occupied has to improve planning for health system response. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to summarized the MC experience at the first month after the area was de-occupied, as well as to show out-patient visits and to identify a need for medicines and medical equipment in the MC...
