Summary
Early stent thrombosis, a rare complication, can be linked to vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia. This case highlights successful management of recurrent stent thrombosis through interdisciplinary collaboration.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Hematology
- Immunology
Background:
- Early stent thrombosis is a rare but serious complication following percutaneous coronary intervention.
- It is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality within 30 days.
- The underlying mechanisms are not always fully understood.

01:20Myasthenia Gravis: Overview and Treatment
1.4K
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular transmission disorder characterized by weakness and increased fatigability of skeletal muscles. It is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately one in 2000 people, where antibodies against the α1 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are produced.
These antibodies interfere with the function of the nicotinic receptors in three ways: by binding to the receptor and disrupting acetylcholine binding; by causing cross-linking of receptors which...

01:17Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
326
Gastritis is marked by disruption of the mucosal barrier that usually protects the stomach tissue from digestive juices and manifests in acute and chronic forms.
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
