This case series aimed to explore the association between spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and stress cardiomyopathy (SCM), which are conditions that share similar features can present as acute syndrome. Both be precipitated by emotional and/or physical stressors. Diagnosis is with angiogram for SCAD, echocardiogram SCM. It less common people have of both. The overlap syndrome beco...

Coronary artery dissection is an infrequent cause of acute coronary syndrome in the general population. There is, however, a greater incidence of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) in young women, especially in the peripartum period. However, the majority of cases have favorable outcomes with medical management or percutaneous coronary intervention; coronary artery bypass grafting (C...

When approaching the symptom of acute onset chest pain in a previously healthy 26-year-old male, anchoring heuristic presents a challenge to healthcare workers. This diagnostic error is the healthcare professional's tendency to rely on a previous diagnosis, and, in situations where a set of symptoms might mask a rare and deadly condition, this error can prove fatal for the patient. One such con...

Muscle protein from round scad (Decapterus maruadsi) was hydrolyzed with five commercial proteases, namely, Alcalase, neutral protease, papain, pepsin, and trypsin. Round scad hydrolysate (RSH) prepared with Alcalase demonstrated high antioxidative activity. After ultrafiltration, RSH-III fraction (MW<5kDa) exhibited the strongest activity. Then, RSH-III was purified by gel filtration chromatog...

Mitochondrial beta-oxidation of fatty acids is required to meet physiologic energy requirements during illness and periods of fasting or physiologic stress, and is most active in liver and striated muscle. Acyl-CoA dehydrogenases of varying chain-length specificities represent the first step in the mitochondria for each round of beta-oxidation, each of which removes two-carbon units as acetyl-C...

The Scanner-Display system, called SCAD, is a device for communicating between computers and pictures. In its present form it can accept transparencies, measure the transmission at various points on the transparency, and convert this to a digital number. It can also accept digital data and produce pictures from it. The device is a transducer between digital computers and pictures. SCAD can be o...

Two distinct mutant alleles of the precursor (p) short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) gene were identified in a SCAD-deficient patient (YH2065) using the polymerase chain reaction to amplify cDNA synthesized from total RNA from her fibroblasts. Cells from this patient had previously been shown to synthesize a labile variant SCAD in contrast to the normal stability of variant SCADs in two o...

AIM To investigate whether endothelial lipase (EL) plasma levels are increased in stable coronary artery disease (sCAD) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients, as well as to test the association of EL plasma levels and the severity of CAD and sex. METHODS The study was performed as a single-center, cross-sectional, observational research on 72 sCAD and 187 ACS patients in the Sisters of C...
