We herein report the case of a 75-year-old man who presented with hemiplegia on his right side due to cerebral infarction following myalgia and a high fever. He had
Diabetic muscle infarction (DMI) is a rare, painful and potentially serious complication in patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and frequently misdiagnosed clinically as abscess, neoplasm, or myositis. A 36-year-old diabetic woman referred to our clinic with severe pain in the left
The association between ischemic heart disease (IHD) and the concurrent use of anabolic androgenic steroids (AASs) is underestimated in clinical settings. The tendency of patients to not disclose AASs use may explain this underestimation. In the present case report, the clinical case of a
OBJECTIVE
This study sought to compare high dose versus low dose statin therapy in Indian patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing thrombolysis.
BACKGROUND
Randomized trials have demonstrated that statin treatment reduced major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in
Influenza is a common disease in the population. Influenza vaccination is performed routinely and is usually well tolerated. Minor local or systemic side effects like fever and myalgia are described. Rarely there are more severe adverse events. Systemic vasculitis has been reported in some cases. In
A case of serum sickness was observed 7 days after administration of intravenous streptokinase in the acute phase of myocardial infarction. The clinical presentation was the sudden development of fever, a papuloerythematous skin rash, myalgia and polyarthritis accompanied by a severe biological
A patient with a two-year history of worsening asthma presented with chest pain and shortness of breath. She developed cardiogenic shock. Analysis of blood chemistry detected increased troponin I concentration. Her electrocardiographic changes were consistent with a diagnosis of anteroseptal
Two patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus developed recurrent episodes of focal muscle pain and swelling. Clinical evaluation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and muscle biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of recurrent hemorrhagic muscle infarctions. Our studies suggest that muscle
Scrub typhus has a variety of clinical presentations ranging from asymptomatic to fever with chills, myalgias, hepatitis, gastric ulcerations and pancreatitis, all being attributed to disseminated vasculitis, with splenic infarction being a rare presentation. A 26-year man, a resident of north

This is the report a case of diabetic muscle infarction (DMI) associated with multiple recurrences and a review of the literature on DMI from the first description in 1965 to the present. Specifically the review of the clinical, laboratory, and muscle histopathologic features of 86 reported cases of
The case of a 30-year-old male, who presented with a three months history of fever, night sweats, weight loss and myalgia is reported. Subsequently abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea and mononeuropathy multiplex developed. An abdominal and renal angiogram showed changes of vascular structures
Cardiac tumors other than myxomas are rare. We report a series of 10 intracavitary polypoid myofibroblastic proliferations in children and young adults emphasizing gross, histologic, and clinical features. There were 6 females and 4 males, with a mean age of 10 years (range 5 wk to 21 y). All
Statins are a standard of care in many clinical settings such as acute myocardial infarction and for patients having or at risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease. This is based on a plethora of data showing reductions in CV events and mortality. The CV benefit of statins can be partly explained by
