A 41-year-old woman who was diagnosed with myocarditis presented eosinophilia. Since the antibody against Toxocara canis (T. canis) positive, we that she had visceral larva migrans due to T. associated myocarditis. She treated oral albendazole and prednisolone for two weeks, eosinophil count hepatic enzymes were normalized after completion of treatment. This is first report caused by infection in Korea.
Abstract Synovial plica is rarely diagnosed as cause of elbow pain. Impingemnt posterolateral plicae in the radiocapitellar joint tends to be usually overlooked. The purpose this study was present outcomes arthroscopic treatment relatively large number cases and propose reliable diagnostic test for joint. From January 2000 December 2010, 24 with pathologic on finding were retrospectively reviewed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation preoperative physical examination performed. newly...
Outcomes for stent-based coronary intervention of lesions with long diseased segments remain relatively unfavorable. This study sought to compare the efficacy Resolute zotarolimus-eluting stents (R-ZES) and Xience everolimus-eluting (EES) very lesions.This randomized, multicenter, prospective trial compared use R-ZES EES (≥50 mm) native lesions. The primary end point was in-segment late luminal loss at 12-month angiographic follow-up. A total 400 patients were needed assess point. However,...
To test the hypothesis that acute myocardial infarction (AMI) might accelerate development of new onset diabetes in patients with coronary artery disease independent known risk factors.We conducted a retrospective cohort study within COACT (CathOlic medical center percutAneous Coronary inTervention) registry. From total 9,127 subjects, 2,036 subjects were naïve and followed up for at least one year both index follow-up laboratory data about diabetes. Cox proportional hazard model was used to...
Verrucous carcinoma is an unusual, non-metastasizing, distinct variant of squamous cell composed four subtypes according to the site occurrence: oral type, anogenital plantar and other cutaneous sites.Oral type verrucous usually shows slow progression with a low incidence metastases.Treatment verrcous challenging; multiple medical surgical therapies are often attempted, limited success.We reported on 2 cases lip treated topical imiquimod debulking therapy.(Ann Dermatol 23(S1) S68∼S71, 2011)
Background and Objectives:The assessment of CT-derived coronary artery calcification (CAC) has been used as a surrogate measurement for atherosclerosis. However, the blooming artifact caused by CAC on MDCT is potential limitation when evaluating stenosis. The aim this study was to classify morphologic characteristics test whether new classification predicts stenotic severity angiography. Subjects Methods:A total 73 lesions were observed 64 slice in 56 enrolled patients (M:F=33:23, mean age:...
