This study aimed to compare the mortality rate and risk factors between MINOCA and myocardial infarction with obstructive coronary artery (MI-CAD).Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2019. A total of 679 patients admitted to Afshar Hospital in Yazd with a diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) from 2018-2019 who underwent primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) were enrolled in the study. Demographic, and clinical variables, ECG finding and one-year mortality, were extracted using MI registry data from the Yazd Cardiac Research Center.Results: The estimated frequency of MINOCA was 4.6%. Patients with MINOCA (47.14±6.2) were younger than patients with MI-CAD (57.61±9.1) (P <0.0001). MINOCA patients (47.4±9.47) had a considerably greater left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) than MI-CAD patients (43.5±6.8) (P =0.018). The majority site of MI in MINOCA patients was located in the non-anterior wall (p <0.0001). A comparison of MINOCA and MI-CAD patients' one-year mortality revealed no significant difference (P =0.07).Conclusion: The prevalence of patients with MINOCA in Yazd was similar to other communities. Although these patients probably do not have a better prognosis, despite being younger and having better LV systolic function and lower CAD risk factors.","PeriodicalId":9646,"journal":{"name":"Caspian Journal of Internal Medicine","volume":"15 1","pages":"109-114"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10921117/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140093399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A questionnaire (demographic information and STI risk factors) was completed in a face-to-face interview with the participants.

Based on glycosylated hemoglobin, patients were divided into three groups of non-diabetic, pre-diabetic, and diabetic (n=150 in each group). Since SYNTAX score and Gensini score are employed to evaluate the extent of cardiovascular disease and predict CVD in patients with CAD over long-term follow-up, we calculated SYNTAX score and Gensini score based on angiographic results.Results: Concerning the factors related to the severity of cardiovascular involvement, the results revealed no significant difference between the diabetic and pre-diabetic groups in terms of the frequency of patients in terms of SYNTAX score, Gensini score, and the number of vessels involved (0.142 and 87, respectively, and P=0.102).

This study aimed to evaluate the permanence of Deaddicta's efficacy six months after the end of the maintenance treatment for opioid dependence.Methods: This study was performed following the previous RCT on the maintenance treatment of opioid addicts. Out of 41 participants who completed the study for three months in the previous research, 15 from the intervention group (Deaddicta capsules, 1500 mg/day) returned for follow-up. They all previously fulfilled the DSM-IV criteria for addiction, were aged 18 to 65, and had discontinued Deaddicta for six months. The outcome measures included addiction severity, depression and anxiety levels, and craving score. The scores of each parameter were compared in three phases: before intervention; after three months of intervention; and six months after the end of the study.Results: Depression, anxiety, and craving scores decreased six months after the end of the previous study. This decrease was significant in the craving score (P = 0.011). No significant increase was observed in the frequency of use.

The identification of these lesions is difficult, but important to avoid inadvertent iatrogenicity and to adjust therapeutic protocols.Case presentation: We report the case of a 30-year-old man who presented a single tonic-clonic seizure. Brain imaging showed a right frontal lesion with intra and extra axial components. Facing the radiologic presentation, a brain tumor was suspected, thus the patient underwent surgery. Pathological exam concluded to a plasma cell granuloma. A whole-body CT-scan showed only a thoracic aortitis. Complete blood work studies came back negative. The patient was also tested for an array of antibodies among which antinuclear antibodies were positive (blood level superior to 1/100). CSF evaluation revealed clear fluid with normal glucose concentration, normal protein levels and lymphocytic pleocytosis. Finally, IgG-4 plasma levels were elevated which led to the diagnosis of an IgG4-RD. The patient was put under prednisolone with a favorable outcome.Conclusion: IPT have several etiologies, among which IgG4 related disease may be one of the less known as only 2 cases have previously been reported.
