Abstract Objective : No clear association between obesity or body fat distribution and prostate cancer has been shown. We investigated the relation visceral accumulation as measured by computed tomography (CT) occurrence of cancer. Research Methods Procedures compared assessed a direct method in 63 cases with age‐matched healthy community controls. A CT scan at level fourth lumbar vertebra was performed all participants. Results Patients presented significantly higher mean total abdominal...
The relation between obesity and coronary heart disease (CHD) has long been studied, but no convincing conclusion drawn.To estimate the relative risk associated with upper-body adiposity which is at present believed to be a better predictor of CHD.This was community-based case-control study.We studied 338 consecutively admitted patients who had their first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) 662 community controls not suffered AMI selected as random sample adults living in catchment area...
A 39-year-old male was admitted in the emergency room with chest pain. He had been given second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine 3 days before. The patient denied taking any other medication beyond usual. didn't feel sick previous days/weeks. Laboratory studies revealed elevated serum levels troponin and C-reactive protein. An autoantibody screen a serologic panel to detect common viruses were negative. cardiac MRI showed myocardial edema/inflammation confirmed diagnosis...
Even with improvements in lifestyle interventions, better control of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, and CV outcomes, disease (CVD) remains the leading cause morbidity mortality Portugal Europe. Atherogenic dyslipidemias, particularly hypercholesterolemia, have a crucial causal role development atherosclerotic CVD. The clinical approach to patient dyslipidemia requires an accurate diagnosis, based on harmonized standardized lipid lipoprotein laboratory assessments. Results reports these...
Cardiac angiosarcoma (CA) is the most common primary malignant heart tumour. Its atypical symptoms and rapidly progressive nature contribute to delayed diagnosis poor outcome. We report case of a 52-year-old woman admitted with large pericardial effusion. An extensive study aetiology effusion was inconclusive. Two months later patient returned ischaemic stroke. echocardiogram revealed probable right atrium contained rupture. The submitted surgical correction but died 9 days later. Histology...
Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immunomediated that can virtually affect any organ. Despite the pancreas being known as most frequently involved organ, pulmonary and pleural IgG4-RD increasingly reported. The authors present two cases of diagnosed in same year, with different presentations outcomes, which lung involvement were essential for diagnosis. Recognizing a possible cause chronic effusion and/or thickening abnormalities important early diagnosis prognosis improvement.
Thyroid dysfunction is common in patients with heart failure (HF). Impaired conversion of free T4 (FT4) into T3 (FT3) thought to occur these patients, decreasing the availability FT3 and contributing HF progression. In preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), it not known whether changes thyroid hormones (THs) are associated clinical status outcomes.The objective this study was evaluate association FT3/FT4 ratio TH clinical, analytical, echocardiographic parameters, as well their prognostic...
Although patients undergoing acute hemodialysis (HD) constitute a group at risk for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), the optimal therapeutic strategy remains undefined. We describe case of HIT complicated with right subclavian vein thrombosis in patient chronic renal insufficiency HD oligoanuria and pulmonary edema. Circulating anti-heparin-PF4 complex antibodies were detected. Past medical history was relevant an otherwise unexplained self-limited episode following one year earlier...
•Uhl's anomaly is an extremely rare entity.•This disease characterized by isolated RV dilatation and failure.•There no ideal treatment patients have poor prognosis high mortality.
Um homem de 52 anos estava sendo submetido a quimioterapia primeira linha com pemetrexedo devido um adenocarcinoma pulmão hilar direito em estágio IV prováveis metástases pleurais, pericárdicas, hepáticas e ósseas. Durante o acompanhamento, nenhuma evidência progressão da doença foi encontrada. Quatro depois, uma tomografia computadorizada tórax acompanhamento documentou realce nodular heterogêneo do miocárdio ventrículo esquerdo (VE) (), as lesões restantes estavam sobrepostas. Ele não...
A 52-year-old male was undergoing first-line chemotherapy with pemetrexed due to a stage IV right hilar lung adenocarcinoma likely pleural, pericardial, liver, and bone metastases. During follow-up, no evidence of disease progression found. Four years later follow-up chest CT scan documented nodular heterogeneous enhancement the left ventricular (LV) myocardium (), remaining lesions were overlapping. He had cardiovascular symptoms clinical examination unremarkable. Transthoracic...
Objective: This study aimed to characterize the sociodemographic and clinical profiles of Portuguese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) assess their self-care practices, treatment adherence, motivation, satisfaction social support.
