Microbes may increase susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by producing bioactive metabolites that affect immune activity and epithelial function. We undertook a family based study identify microbial metabolic features of IBD represent predisease risk state when found in healthy first-degree relatives.Twenty-one families with pediatric were recruited, comprising 26 Crohn's patients clinical remission, 10 ulcerative colitis 54 siblings/parents. Fecal samples collected for 16S...
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare presentation of acute syndrome characterized by tearing the wall epicardial artery, leading to myocardial ischemia. SCAD predominantly affects young and middle-aged women, but men without significant cardiovascular risk factors can also present with disease. In setting fibromuscular dysplasia, may be at higher for recurrence. We case man history dysplasia prior in diagonal branch right posterolateral who presented exertional chest pain....
Successful percutaneous mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has been used for acute stabilization of cardiogenic shock (CS). Improved survival outcomes have observed in patients with CS from an myocardial infarction (AMI) who undergo implantation left ventricular (LV) to ascending aorta rotodynamic pumps, such as the Impella® device (Abiomed). However, thrombotic events are a known complication devices poor flow states CS. There is limited evidence regarding management develop LV thrombus...
•Echocardiography identifies unusual collateral vessels and shunts in SVC occlusion.•CT imaging demonstrates the presence of vessels.•Shunts present long-term cardiac systemic complications.
Lipomatous metaplasia in chronic postmyocardial infarction scars is a common and underappreciated finding seen histopathology cardiac MRI. Evidence suggests that lipomatous capable of altering the electroconductivity myocardium leading to re-entry pathways are implicated pathogenesis arrhythmogenesis. We report case patient who presented with non-sustained ventricular tachycardia was found have prior myocardial infarct-related scar.
