MicroRNAs in diabetic macroangiopathy

Diabetic macroangiopathy is a leading cause of diabetes-related mortality. Could miRNAs improve the future outlook for diabetes patients? Learn about miRNA biogenesis and their functions in diabetic macroangiopathy to find out.

Native valve endocarditis caused by C. striatum

A rare case of native valve endocarditis caused by C. striatum in a young adult despite no structural heart disease or indwelling medical devices. 

Surgical management of aorto-right atrial fistula

Aorto-right atrial fistula associated with Stanford type A aortic dissection is rare, and difficult to diagnose clinically. Intraoperative diagnosis in this case allowed effective treatment by direct suture.

Migraine or temporal artery aneurysm?

An extensive history of treatment-resistant migraine was eventually found to be a superficial aneurysm after the patient developed a painless lump in the left temporal region.
