Patients with atrial fibrillation and transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) have been found to a very high incidence of intracardiac thrombus thromboembolic disease. Acute limb ischemia is rare, highly morbid condition that may mimic other medical emergencies. An 88-year-old male ATTR-CM presented left sided hemiparesis paraesthesia. Computed tomography scan magnetic resonance imaging the head was negative for stroke. Subsequent computed angiography (CTA) chest obtained due an...
The Lazarus phenomenon, or autoresuscitation, is a rare clinical entity defined as the spontaneous return of circulation in patients following cardiac arrest. Here we report case an 88-year-old female who suffered arrest and received no intervention due to her code status. Despite this, she regained pulse consciousness after 167 seconds pulseless ventricular tachycardia 108 asystole consecutively, surviving through pacemaker placement discharging 5 days later with intact neurological We...
Abstract COVID‐19 has recently been associated with the development of bradyarrhythmias, although its mechanism is still unclear. We aim to summarize existing evidence regarding bradyarrhythmia in and provide future directions for research. Following PRISMA Extension Scoping Reviews, we searched MEDLINE EMBASE all peer‐reviewed articles using keywords including“Bradycardia,” “atrioventricular block,” “COVID‐19″ from their inception October 13, 2021. Forty‐three articles, including 11...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) in pregnancy is rare and often presents at a late stage due to the masking of signs by pregnancy. A typical chemotherapeutic regimen for III IV CRC comprised 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) oxaliplatin. The treatment during complicated owing potential risk teratogenicity with chemotherapy, especially first trimester. Data suggest that administration chemotherapy beyond trimester may be relatively safe. Previous reports have shown success use FOLFOX (folinic acid, 5-FU,...
Orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) recipients are at increased risk for varicella zoster reactivation, and severe complications may arise due to their immunosuppressive regimens. Managing immunosuppression in acute infection is difficult, specific guideline recommendations or evidence from the literature lacking. However, patient care must involve weighing of rejection with consequences worsening infection.An OHT a history multiple episodes rejection, latent virus (VZV) infection, recent...
Introduction: Orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) increases the risks of varicella-zoster reactivation, and severe complications may arise due to infection in setting active immunosuppression. Complications include meningitis, facial nerve palsy (known as Ramsay Hunt Syndrome), bacterial superinfection. When ear infections spread petrous apex, pain accompanied by otitis media abducens also occur, classically known Gradenigo Syndrome. Case Report: We present a case patient 15 months post...
Background: Cardiac involvement is a major cause for mortality in patients with systemic sarcoidosis. Atrioventricular (AV) block caused by inflammation involving the conduction system one of manifestations cardiac involvement. The mainstay management immunosuppressive therapy and device implantation if high degree AV present. However, there lack evidence regarding appropriate dose duration corticosteroids treatment Case summary: We describe case 62-year-old man who presented symptoms...
Introduction Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has a significant role in supporting patients with respiratory failure the goal of avoiding mechanical ventilation. Traditionally, NIV been applied using dedicated NIV-specific devices but over last decade, newer generation critical care ventilators have updated their capabilities to include options improved synchrony and leak compensation. No recent trials compared efficacy new ventilators. The purpose this study was evaluate clinicians attitudes...
Background Protease inhibitors (PIs) have contributed to the long-term survival of persons with human immunodeficiency virus (PHIV). While there is a concern linking protease an increased risk heart failure (HF), evidence and has been uncertain. Methods Following PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews, we searched MEDLINE EMBASE peer-reviewed articles using keywords including “protease inhibitor,” “heart failure,” “human virus” from their inception December 21, 2022. Results Five articles,...
