News Ligamentous Changes as a Harbinger of Cardiac Amyloidosis –⁠ Histopathological and Clinical Study

Amyloid deposits can be present in various types of tissue. Their accumulation in connective tissue can lead to pathological changes resulting in the rupture of stressed structures (e.g., the Achilles tendon) or stenosis in areas where blood vessels and nerves pass through (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome). Swedish doctors focused on patients with lumbar spinal stenosis to analyze how often this diagnosis is associated with amyloid deposits.

News Association of M2 Haplotype of the Annexin A5 Gene with Recurrent Reproductive Losses

Annexin A5 (ANXA5) is a placental anticoagulant protein that ensures adequate blood supply to the fetus during pregnancy, and its deficiency can increase the incidence of vascular thrombosis in the placenta. Current research shows that the M2 haplotype of the ANXA5 gene may be associated with recurrent reproductive losses and obstetric complications due to placental disorders.
