    Abstract Reaction-diffusion models have been proposed for decades to capture the growth of gliomas, the most common primary brain tumors. However, ill-posedness of the initialization at diagnosis time and parameter estimation of such models have restrained their clinical use as a personalized predictive tool. In this work, we investigate the ability of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) to address commonly encountered pitfalls in the field. Based on 1200 synthetic tumors grown over real brain geometries derived from magnetic resonance (MR) data of six healthy subjects, we demonstrate the ability of DCNNs to reconstruct a whole tumor cell-density distribution from only two imaging contours at a single time point. With an additional imaging contour extracted at a prior time point, we also demonstrate the ability of DCNNs to accurately estimate the individual diffusivity and proliferation parameters of the model. From this knowledge, the spatio-temporal evolution of the tumor cell-density distribution at later time points can ultimately be precisely captured using the model. We finally show the applicability of our approach to MR data of a real glioblastoma patient. This approach may open the perspective of a clinical application of reaction-diffusion growth models for tumor prognosis and treatment planning.

    Abstract Background: Post COVID-19 syndrome is characterized by several cardiorespiratory symptoms but the origin of patients' reported symptomatology is still unclear.
    Methods: Consecutive post COVID-19 patients were included. Patients underwent full clinical evaluation, symptoms dedicated questionnaires, blood tests, echocardiography, thoracic computer tomography (CT), spirometry including alveolar capillary membrane diffusion (DM) and capillary volume (Vcap) assessment by combined carbon dioxide and nitric oxide lung diffusion (DLCO/DLNO) and cardiopulmonary exercise test. We measured surfactant derive protein B (immature form) as blood marker of alveolar cell function.
    Results: We evaluated 204 consecutive post COVID-19 patients (56.5 ± 14.5 years, 89 females) 171 ± 85 days after the end of acute COVID-19 infection. We measured: forced expiratory volume (FEV
    Conclusions: In patients with post COVID-19, cardiorespiratory symptoms are linked to VE/VCO

    Abstract Rhabdomyolysis is a rare, but possible, complication of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). We report a unique case of an HIV-positive patient on cART who came to our attention for suspected ischaemic heart disease. Coronary angiography was carried out and complicated in the following days by rhabdomyolysis. We discuss the possible links between rhabdomyolysis, iodinated contrast media and HAART.

    Abstract Background: Myocardial bridging (MB) occurs when a segment of an epicardial coronary artery takes an intra- myocardial course, thus leading to systolic compression. Most myocardial bridges involve the left anterior descending artery and are observed in 14-35% of patients. Different pathophysiological mechanisms can induce symptoms secondary to myocardial ischemia: systolic coronary compression, diastolic dysfunction associated with aging and coronary atherosclerosis, LV hypertrophy, vasospasm, microvascular and endothelial dysfunction, plaque development proximal to the bridge.
    Methods: We performed a literature review of MB, with a particular emphasis on electrocardiographic manifestations.
    Results: Stable angina-like chest pain is the usual presentation and MB should be suspected in patients at low risk for coronary atherosclerosis which refer this symptom or which present myocardial ischemia at instrumental examinations. ECG changes are not specific for MB and resting ECG is often normal or presents ST segment anomalies. Exercise stress test often shows non specific signs of ischemia, conduction disturbances or arrhythmias which do not allow the distinction between myocardial bridging and other causes of myocardial ischemia; angina often appears during exercise, even in the absence of ECG changes. Myocardial perfusion deficits at scintigraphy are neither obligatory nor specific. Although the clinical significance of MB is still debated, MB has been associated with acute coronary syndrome, coronary vasospasm, and even sudden cardiac death.
    Conclusion: Although MB may lead to myocardial ischemia during stress, its clinical presentation and electrocardiographic findings are not specific.

    Abstract Background: The diagnosis of previous lateral myocardial infarction is based on QRS morphology.
    Objectives: To explore the diagnostic role of T wave abnormalities.
    Methods: We studied 166 patients with known or suspected ischemic heart disease who underwent a 12-lead electrocardiogram, myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, and coronary arteriography within 90days. We excluded patients with bundle-branch block, hypertrophy, or paced rhythm.
    Results: Only one patient had a prominent R wave in V1, no patient showed lateral Q waves of necrosis. T wave amplitude in V2-V6 ≥0.6mV, and T wave amplitude in lead 1+V6 ≤0mV detected a lateral infarction (sensitivity 33 and 44%, specificity 83 and 80%). T wave amplitude in lead 1+V6 ≤0mV was the only independent predictor of infarction or LCx occlusion (AUC 0.72 and 0.74). Serum potassium values were not associated with T wave abnormalities.
    Conclusion: T wave abnormalities identify previous lateral infarction and LCx disease.

    Abstract Endomyocardial fibrosis is a rare cardiomyopathy characterized by thickening of the endocardium, which leads to a restrictive phenotype. Differential diagnosis with other forms of cardiomyopathy may not always be straightforward and various imaging modalities are frequently necessary. In the present case, we report a patient with heart failure of uncertain origin, in whom, after an in-depth instrumental evaluation, a rare variant of endomyocardial fibrosis was diagnosed.
