BACKGROUND
Medullary infarcts can be associated with breathing disorders that usually consist in central hypoventilation.
METHODS
We describe the case of a 54-year-old man, fully conscious, presenting with an uncontrollable high frequency and shallow tachypnea (95/min) at the onset of a unilateral
A 7.5-kg, 10-year-old, spayed female, mixed-breed dog was evaluated for sudden onset of weakness, tachypnea, and an irregular cardiac rhythm. Congestive heart failure secondary to mitral valve regurgitation had been diagnosed six weeks earlier. The dog was stable on furosemide, enalapril, and
The authors reported a case with acute right, middle cerebral artery infarct in which the early infarct area was detected by CTP recovery later after the treatment. The patient had hypoxia and tachypnea from pulmonary edema during acute ischemic stroke, which may have accentuated the ischemic change
Pregnant women with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) carry a high risk of arterial or venous thrombosis. Such thrombotic conditions occur more frequently in patients with triple positivity to antiphospholipid antibodies or with high antibody titers. Hepatic infarction is a rare complication in
BACKGROUND
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) may develop after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We investigated factors associated with SIRS after SAH, whether SIRS was associated with complications of SAH such as vasospasm, cerebral infarction, and clinical outcome, and
PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the characteristics of the history, physical examination, chest radiograph, electrocardiogram, and the ventilation/perfusion lung scan probability in elderly patients with pulmonary embolism who present with the syndrome of pulmonary
Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), a measure of cardiac vagal modulation, provides cardiac risk stratification information. RSA can be quantified from Holter recordings as the high-frequency component of heart rate variability or as the variability of RR intervals in individual respiratory cycles.
A 4-month-old male infant with Bland-White-Garland (BWG) syndrome complicated myocardial infarction was reported. Signs included tachypnea, coughing, and failure to thrive. However, there was no sign of myocardial infarction. A chest radiograph revealed cardiomegaly (CTR = 65%) and electrocardiogram
Respiratory rates and patterns were studied in 23 patients with acute brain stem infarction using impedance pneumography. Autopsy was obtained in six of eight fatal cases. Pontine lesions were present in all patients, with coexistent infarction of midbrain in four and of medulla in nine. Respiratory
Coronary artery injury rarely occurs after blunt chest trauma, but it can lead to extensive myocardial infarction and be frequently overlooked. A 16-yr-old man was presented with comatose mental state and rapid respiration rate. He ran into guard rail while riding a motorcycle. In routine
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of a fatal myocardial infarction (MI) possibly induced by paclitaxel in a patient with metastatic breast cancer.
METHODS
A 67-year-old African-American woman with metastatic breast cancer was treated with a paclitaxel infusion. Fifteen hours into the 24-hour continuous
Today a large group of patients with pulmonary embolism is still undetected because this disease is not suspected. We evaluated the role of routine clinical procedures such as history, chest x-ray, electrocardiogram and blood gas analysis in the diagnosis of this disease. We studied 177 patients
BACKGROUND
Betel nut chewing has long been a social habit in Taiwan and other Asian and tropical countries. It produces various autonomic and psychoneurologic effects including tachycardia, flushing, warmth, cholinergic activation, alertness, and euphoria. Although the oral carcinogenic effects are
We aimed to review symptoms, findings, surgical treatment options, short- and mid-term outcomes, and reoperation rate of patients diagnosed with of left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) of an anomalous origin in our institution.From May The history and physical examination were assessed in 215 patients with acute pulmonary embolism uncomplicated by preexisting cardiac or pulmonary disease. The patients had been included in the Urokinase Pulmonary Embolism Trial or the Urokinase-Streptokinase Embolism Trial. Presenting syndromes
