    Abstract Giant coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are rare forms of coronary artery disease. An 82-year-old man presented to the hospital with generalized weakness, arm numbness, and dizziness and was found to have a multi-infarct stroke. A transthoracic echocardiogram was obtained to determine a possible cardiovascular etiology of his stroke. However, it did not reveal thrombi or vegetation; instead, it showed a ring-like structure adjacent to the tricuspid valve that appeared to be a large right atrial cyst. A transesophageal echocardiogram was performed localizing the ring-like mass near the tricuspid annulus. Cardiac catheterization revealed aneurysms of the coronary arteries with complete distal occlusion of the left anterior descending artery (LAD), an aneurysmal left circumflex, and a right coronary artery with a very large aneurysm without signs of thrombus or flow-limiting lesion. CAAs are usually found through cardiac catheterization. Echocardiography may be a novel way of identifying CAAs.

    Abstract A 37-year-old male with a past medical history of previous mitral valve replacement due to bacterial endocarditis and intravenous (IV) drug use was found to have Burkholderia cepacia bacteremia. Transesophageal echocardiogram revealed large mitral and tricuspid valve vegetations. Medical management was initially attempted but his bacteremia persisted, and he required urgent prosthetic mitral valve replacement and native tricuspid valve replacement. Prosthetic valve endocarditis has been associated with surgery in 48.9% of patients and a mortality of 22.8%. In patients with prosthetic valve endocarditis due to B. cepacia, valve replacement occurred in approximately 61.5% of patients and mortality is estimated to be 33.3%. To our knowledge, this is one of only a few prosthetic valve endocarditis cases caused solely by B. cepacia and our case is the first to affect multiple valves including prosthetic and native valves.

    Abstract Introduction: Patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are often underrepresented in cohorts, creating uncertainty about the natural history and prognostic factors of this subgroup. Our goal was to describe the SPOCCAT (Severe COPD: Prospective Observational study of COPD in Catalonia) study protocol.
    Material and methods: SPOCCAT is a non-interventional, multicenter, prospective cohort study of patients with severe COPD (FEV
    Results: The results of the SPOCCAT study will provide relevant information about the characteristics, treatment, and prognostic factors of severe COPD.
    Conclusions: SPOCCAT has the potential to enhance understanding of severe COPD, exploring innovative aspects and establishing a robust research framework for future COPD-related projects.

We report the case of a 30-year-old woman with a past medical history of chronic Hepatitis C and IV drug use who presented with a one-week history of generalized weakness, subjective fevers, lower extremity abscesses, and occasional chest pain.

    Abstract Human papillomaviruses are small DNA tumor viruses that infect cutaneous and mucosal epithelia. The viral lifecycle is linked to the differentiation status of the epithelium. During initial viral infection, the genomes replicate at a low copy number but the mechanism(s) the virus uses to control the copy number during this stage is not known. In this study, we demonstrate that the tyrosine kinase focal adhesion kinase (FAK) binds to and phosphorylates the high-risk viral E2 protein, the key regulator of HPV replication. The depletion of FAK with a specific PROTAC had no effect on viral DNA content in keratinocytes that already maintain HPV-16 and HPV-31 episomes. In contrast, the depletion of FAK significantly increased HPV-16 DNA content in keratinocytes infected with HPV-16 quasiviruses. These data imply that FAK prevents the over-replication of the HPV genome after infection through the interaction and phosphorylation of the E2 protein.
