BACKGROUND
The cases of the 3 patients reported herein show the role of the P-waves in the differential diagnosis of the attenuated voltage of QRS complexes from pericardial effusion (PEREF) and from those resulting from peripheral edema (PERED) of varying pathophysiologic etiology.
RESULTS
Whereas
BACKGROUND
Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema syndrome is characterized by symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema in the dorsum of the hands or feet. Most cases of remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema syndrome are idiopathic, but some are
Eight (23%) of 35 children with acute pericardial effusions due to infection or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) had associated transient pulmonary edema demonstrated on plain chest radiographs. The presence or absence of radiographic pulmonary edema correlated well with clinical and hemodynamic
Olanzapine is a potent atypical antipsychotic drug used for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder with approved efficiency. Olanzapine is superior to the typical antipsychotic drugs with low incidence of extrapyramidal side effects, especially tardive dyskinesia. The most common side
The pulmonary effects of pericardial effusion were studied in eight anesthetized dogs, with emphasis on lung mechanics, O2 exchange, and extravascular thermal lung volume (ETV) accumulation, while warm saline was instilled into the pericardium to elevate pericardial pressure. The results were
The recurrence of gastric cancer is rarely associated with cardiac tamponade induced by carcinomatous pericarditis. We encountered a patient in whom cancer recurred as carcinomatous pericarditis 9 years after surgery for advanced gastric cancer. Furthermore, pericardial effusion caused marked
BACKGROUND
Radiographic findings of dengue fever have not yet been clearly elucidated in relation to clinical and serological findings, despite the fact that two-fifths of the world population lives in areas where the virus is endemic. The current study is a retrospective analysis of
BACKGROUND
Patients with treated HIV infection have clear survival benefits although with increased cardiac morbidity and mortality. Mechanisms of heart disease may be partly related to untreated chronic inflammation. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging allows a comprehensive assessment of
BACKGROUND
This case report documents the affliction of the lymph vessels as a phenotypic feature of neurofibromatosis-1 (NF-1).
METHODS
Routine transthoracic echocardiography, computed tomography scan of the thorax, magnetic resonance angiography of the renal arteries, and conventional digital
Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) is a rare disorder of unknown etiology characterized by diffuse or localized dilation and eventual rupture of the enteric lymphatic vessels in mucosa, submucosa, and/or subserosa. Lymph, rich in all kinds of proteins and lymphocytes, leaks into the
A 90-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital in December 1993 because of dyspnea on exertion and malaise. She had been well until October 1993, when she first noticed Raynaud's phenomenon, skin tightening, digital ulceration and scarring of her hands. On physical examination, generalized edema
BACKGROUND
In a monochorionic twin gestation, hydrops in one fetus often results from placental transfusion, accompanied by intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) of the non-hydropic fetus.
METHODS
A 35-year-old G11P9 presented with hydrops and IUGR of one of a monochorionic-diamniotic gestation.
Intrauterine hydrops was diagnosed by two dimensional echocardiography. The fetus had a pericardial effusion and a thick interatrial septum without a foramen ovale flap. The condition was treated by giving the mother digitalis. Postnatally, the effusion had disappeared and a parachute mitral valve
