Metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to the right atrium without invasion of inferior vena cava is a very rare and difficult diagnosis, especially when primary tumour yet be known. A 68-year-old man with symptoms heart failure was admitted emergency department; his transthoracic echocardiogram showed mass comprehending almost totality atrium, obliterating its entrance nearly completely impeding normal auricular-ventricular flux, described as possible auricular myxoma. The patient...
Understanding the signatures and mechanisms of failed volcanic eruptions is vital for mapping magma plumbing systems forecasting hazards. Geological structures like fractures faults are key to guiding magma, but their remain unclear due limited 3-D in regions sufficiently precise earthquake locations. The triple-junction setting Azores Archipelago, where seismogenic crustal coexist, offers a unique window into how impact magmatism. Using ~12,000 earthquakes relocated ultra-high precision...
Objective: Neonatal sepsis caused by fungal agents entails great mortality and morbidity. The goals of this study are to characterize local epidemiology, analyze the presence risk factors, laboratorial findings, describe therapeutics performed their effectiveness. Method: In a retrospective at neonatal intensive care unit “Centro Hospitalar Sao Joao”, Porto, Portugal, patients who had positive blood cultures for fungus between 2003 2012 were selected. Results: From total population 3,933...
Abstract Background and Aims A functioning vascular access (VA) is needed to ensure optimal dialysis. Reduced or falling levels of VA flow volume (Qa) indicate dysfunction predict thrombosis. Qa can be measured by a number different techniques, most all using dilution techniques such as ultrasound measure the amount recirculation induced reversal blood lines. The NephroFlow™ hemodialysis monitor estimates velocity measurements flowing their with 0.9% NaCl. Nikisso DBB-EXATM dialysis machine...
