Introduction: Pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade are rare manifestations of cardiac sarcoidosis. This is a first case report that describes a patient with severe pericardial effusion and signs of cardiac tamponade with elevated
The elevated arterial lactate concentration in shock was investigated by measuring lactate production and clearance rate using a constant infusion of 14C-labeled lactate. In addition, the pathways of lactate metabolism were characterized by determining the percentage of lactate under-going oxidation
We present herein the case of a 48-year-old woman with a benign mediastinal teratoma that had been followed up for 3 years, who developed acute cardiac tamponade. The patient had initially undergone an exploratory sternotomy, at which time the tumor was histologically diagnosed as a benign mature
We report an autopsy case of a central nervous system (CNS) B-cell type lymphoma followed by cardiac tamponade. In this case, lymphoma cells which occurred primarily in the pericardium appear to metastasize to the brain and gradually increase in size in spite of control of the CNS lesion. The serum
Carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type 1 (CDGS-1) is an autosomal recessive hereditary metabolic disorder, the gene locus of which is chromosome 16p13. The disorder is characterised by genetic heterogeneity, and by decrease in the gene product, phosphomannomutase 2, though the
To investigate the clinical significance of carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), an antigen related to ovarian cancer, in patients with pericardial effusion, we examined the relationship between serum levels of CA125 and the presence or severity of pericardial effusion. Fifty-seven patients (25 with
