Abstract:
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a tick-borne emerging infectious viral disease in China, Korea and Japan, which is caused by a novel Bunyavirus, SFTS virus. SFTS virus is thought to be maintained in animal-tick interface. This review describes epi- demiology, route of human infection, clinical feature, therapeutics, prophylaxis and preven- tion of SFTS.

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) encompasses a spectrum of heart conditions caused by sudden obstruction of coronary arteries, typically resulting from the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque and subsequent thrombus (blood clot) formation. This obstruction can lead to partial or complete blockage of blood flow, causing varying degrees of myocardial ischemia or infarction.ACS includes the following clinical entities:Unstable Angina (UA)Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)ST-Elevation...
