How air pollution affects cause-specific emergency hospital admissions on days with biomass combustion in Spain?

Although wildfires are growing in number, intensity and extent due to climate change, few studies have been undertaken to analyse their health impact, and fewer still to analyse the impact of variables other than particulate matter. The objective of this study is to analyse the short-term impact of NO, PM, PM, O and temperature in heat waves on emergency hospital admissions in Spain on days when biomass combustion occurs. We conducted an ecological longitudinal time series study across the period 2013-2018.

Stroke as the first manifestation of an atrial myxoma. Review of the literature.

Cardiac myxoma (CM) is the most common benign tumor of the heart and an important etiology of stroke in young adults. The study aimed to provide the latest literature data on CMs and, in particular, on the association between CM and cardioembolic ischemic stroke. It also discussed a specific instance of atrial myxoma (AM) in a young patient who suffered an ischemic stroke linked with familial cavernomatosis.
