Naloxone, an opioid receptor antagonist, effectively reverses overdose and opioid-induced respiratory depression. A few side effects were reported after naloxone administration, including arrhythmia pulmonary edema. Although rare, naloxone-induced edema can be a severe sometimes life-threatening complication requiring mechanical ventilation. This condition is predominantly linked to upsurge in catecholamines reversal as part of acute withdrawal syndrome, especially seen patients who...
Background: A majority of patients included in risk assessment models (RAMs) developed to predict venous thromboembolic events (VTE) lymphoma were non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Our study aims evaluate the incidence and predictors VTE, utilizing different RAMs, with classic Hodgkin (cHL) treated adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine (ABVD). Methods: Adult cHL, followed at our center, included. Correlations between variables, Khorana score, thrombosis (ThroLy) RAMs VTE examined using...
Mediastinal masses present a diagnostic challenge due to their similar imaging characteristics, making distinguishing between noninfectious and infectious processes or malignancies difficult. A mediastinal abscess can result in severe life-threatening infections if left untreated. Traditional treatment approaches involve surgical debridement drainage; however, emerging endobronchial techniques, such as ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), offer less-invasive means...
The pathophysiology of coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is under investigated and not well understood. Atherosclerosis considered as the main etiologic factor for CAE in adults where more than 50% patients have atherosclerosis. Recently, lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) has emerged a powerful risk atherosclerosis disease (CAD). Serum levels Lp(a) with been investigated. We assumed that may play role pathogenesis CAE. Principally, our study aims to identify whether an independent CAE.Our prospective...
Introduction: Despite that trastuzumab (TZB) improves life expectancy and prognosis in patients with HER-2 positive breast cancer (BC), cardiotoxicity is a well-established complication. However, other potential cardiac complications of TZB such as pulmonary hypertension (PHTN) are poorly investigated. Aim: Evaluate the effect on artery systolic pressure (PASP) measure predictors developing elevated PASP. Methods: The medical records for all females who received treatment confirmed BC at...
