A 75-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of abnormal lung shadow and necrosis of the left feet. She had a history of Raynaud's phenomenon from her twenties. On admission, she was diagnosed as having diffuse systemic sclerosis (SSc) and Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) because of scleroderma,
Chest pain is a common complaint at medical treatment facilities during combat operations. The initial evaluation focuses on potentially life-threatening conditions (acute coronary syndrome, aortic dissection, pulmonary embolus), in addition to pericarditis and benign musculoskeletal conditions such
Background: Eosinophilic granulomatosis polyangiitis (EGPA) is a small vessel necrotizing vasculitis that commonly presents as peripheral eosinophilia and asthma; however, it can rarely manifest with cardiac involvement such as
A 52-year-old female was admitted to our hospital in August 1988, for evaluation of purpura and gingival bleeding. Hematologic examination showed mild leukocytosis (12,400/microliter) and severe thrombocytopenia (1,000/microliter). On bone marrow examination, megakaryocyte count was normal and the
OBJECTIVE
Combination chemotherapy with vincristine, etoposide, and high-dose, escalating cyclophosphamide (VETOPEC) is an effective regimen in pediatric patients with high-risk solid tumors. The toxicity of the regimen is predominantly haematologic. This study addressed the role of recombinant
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), a pleiotropic molecule which displays a broad range of haematopoietic activities, has become available for clinical evaluation in various patient groups. It has been shown to be effective in preventing or reversing neutropenia. Adverse
An analysis of 293 victims with cardiac and pericardium injuries was made. Cardiac complications could appear suddenly and be registered on any stage of treatment process. They differentiated by character and duration of wound process. Pericarditis took place in 288 patients. The syndrome of system
In addition to ventricular arrhythmias, various forms of supraventricular arrhythmias (SVA) and atrioventricular (AV) and intraventricular (IV) conduction disturbances occur also in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In the setting of AMI, SVA may be caused by relevant atrial ischemia or infarction.

We report a case of cardiac tumour, presenting as cardiac failure during the first hours of life and refractory hypoxia. The diagnosis was made with difficulty by angiography which revealed a filling defect in the right atrium, whilst echocardiography had shown only a localised pericarditis. The
To highlight the importance of the new classification criteria for the macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis in order to reduce morbidity and mortality outcome related to this disease.A 12-year-old female patient We report a case of persistent bilateral pleural effusions in a 40-year-old man with echocardiographic findings suggesting constrictive pericarditis. However, this was not supported by cardiac catheterization. The pleural fluid was transudative in nature and was negative for acid-fast bacilli (AFB)
BACKGROUND
To investigate the possibility and feasibility of simultaneous cardiac and noncardiac surgery.
METHODS
From August 2000 to March 2015, 64 patients suffering from cardiac and noncardiac diseases have been treated by simultaneous surgeries.
RESULTS
Two patients died after operations in
Excited delirium syndrome (EDS) has become a controversial and vexing forensic issue due to its association with restraint and sudden unexpected death. Although some authorities and jurisdictions recognised EDS as a cause of death there is no consensus among the medical community in this regard. The
A multihospital study allowed us to follow a total of 62 serologically proven cases of Nephropathia epidemica (NE) in the Belgian region between Sambre and Meuse during the 1992-1993 period. The clinical picture consisted of sudden high fever (100% of the cases), headache (71%), abdominal or lumbar
