Propylene glycol and glycerol are e-cigarette constituents that facilitate liquid vaporization nicotine transport. As these small hydrophilic molecules quickly cross the lung epithelium, we hypothesized short-term cessation of vaping in regular users would completely clear aerosol deposit from lungs reverse vaping-induced cardiorespiratory toxicity. We aimed to assess acute effects their reversibility on biological/clinical parameters [serum/urine pneumoproteins, hemodynamic parameters,...
<ns3:p>Left ventricular aneurysms are outpouchings delineated by a thin myocardial wall, more frequently encountered at the apex of left ventricle, which is seldom dyskinetic or akinetic.<ns3:bold> </ns3:bold>Apart from coronary artery disease, etiology can be challenging. We report case 30-year-old man with an isolated apical aneurysm associated prominent trabeculations on echocardiography.</ns3:p>
Q fever is a worldwide zoonotic infection caused by Coxiella burnetii. In Belgium, the disease must be notified, and incidence low. Human contamination mostly due to sheep goats. Herein, we report case of chronic presenting as prolonged in patient with history valve prosthesis. Blood culture-negative endocarditis was diagnosed through an assessment including echocardiography systematic serological testing. Despite absence travel abroad or obvious contact domestic wildlife animals, C....
