Collagen vascular diseases commonly affect the heart; cardiovascular events are the major cause of mortality in people with these diseases. A striking feature of the cardiac involvement in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis is aggressive and accelerated
Rates of stroke and obesity have increased in recent years. This study aimed to determine the body mass index (BMI) of fatal stroke cases amongst young adults, their clinical characteristics and the association with BMI with risk factors. All cases aged 15-44 years where death was attributed to
OBJECTIVE
Although numerous studies have reported on all-cause mortality among opioid users, few have provided estimates for specific causes of death. We report all-cause and cause-specific mortalities for a large cohort of individuals with a history of opioid-related disorders.
METHODS
We used
BACKGROUND
Complex hernias continue to present a challenge. Surgical techniques for repair are carefully considered to reduce risk for complications. Laparoscopic repairs improve postoperative infection rates, and placement of biologic mesh decreases mesh infection rates. However, laparoscopic
BACKGROUND
A 65-year-old man, known to have had a gastric ulcer and chronic rheumatoid arthritis as well as alcohol and nicotine abuse, was admitted because of suspected endocarditis. Physical examination revealed marked pain on pressure over the throacic spine. Vesicular breath sounds were reduced
The use of cocaine may be associated with either acute or chronic toxicity, and approximately 5% to 10% of emergency department visits in the United States are believed to be secondary to cocaine usage. Chest pain is the most common cocaine-related medical problem, leading to the evaluation of
The aim of the study was determine the influence of age on the outcome of cardiac surgery and reveal risk factors important for the outcome of cardiac surgery in patients over the age of 65 years. Early results of surgical treatment was analyzed in 1741 cases operated in extracorporeal circulation.
Psychostimulant use is associated with increased stroke risk. To determine the proportion of psychostimulant users among fatal strokes in young adults (15-44 years), all cases were retrieved from the National Coronial Information System (1/1/2009-31/12/2016). A total of 279 cases were identified:
Illicit drugs, appetite suppressants, decongestants, and anabolic steroids may cause stroke. Drug abuse is a common cause of stroke in young patients. Mechanisms are varied, but it is particularly important to seek out infective endocarditis and most importantly, cerebral aneurysms, vascular
BACKGROUND
Many bacteria causing systemic invasive infections originate from the oral cavity by entering the bloodstream. Recently, a novel pathogenic bacterium, Streptococcus tigurinus, was identified as causative agent of infective endocarditis, spondylodiscitis and meningitis. In this study, we
Background and Purpose- There are few large studies examining comorbidities, outcomes, and acute interventions for patients with retinal artery occlusion (RAO). RAO shares pathophysiology with acute ischemic stroke (AIS); direct comparison may inform emergent treatment, evaluation, and secondary
The outcomes related to chest pain associated with cocaine use and its burden on the healthcare system are not well studied.
Data were collected from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2001-2012). Subjects were identified by using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical
