The "incidental" episode of ventricular fibrillation: a case reportJournal of Medical Case Reports - - 2007
Fahim H Jafary
Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation (VF) carry important prognostic implications, especially in the post myocardial infarction period. However, artifact on the electrocardiographic tracing can mimic VF particularly on routinely recorded rhythm strips in hospitals. Such misinterpretation can lead to expensive (and potentially risky) diagnostic and therapeutic steps. We ...... hiện toàn bộ
Double chambered right ventricle with severe calcification of the tricuspid valve in an elderly woman: a case reportJournal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 1-4 - 2011

Double chambered right ventricle is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly in which the right ventricle is divided into two chambers by an anomalous muscle bundle. The diagnosis of this disorder is difficult in adults. Calcification of the tricuspid valve is extremely rare, and very few cases have been reported. Most cases of tricuspid valve calcification had a congenital disorder with high pressure in...... hiện toàn bộ
Aberrant DNA methylation of cancer-related genes in giant breast fibroadenoma: a case reportJournal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 1-4 - 2011
Diego M Marzese, Francisco E Gago, Javier I Orozco, Olga M Tello, María Roqué, Laura M Vargas-Roig
Giant fibroadenoma is an uncommon variant of benign breast lesions. Aberrant methylation of CpG islands in promoter regions is known to be involved in the silencing of genes (for example, tumor-suppressor genes) and appears to be an early event in the etiology of breast carcinogenesis. Only hypermethylation of p16INK4a has been reported in non-giant breast fibroadenoma. In this particular case, th...... hiện toàn bộ
Paradoxical embolism following thromboaspiration of an arteriovenous fistula thrombosis: a case reportJournal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 4 - Trang 1-5 - 2010
Bouteina Bentaarit, Anne Marie Duval, Anne Maraval, Djamal Dahmane, Karine Dahan, Brahim Amara, Philippe Lang, Djillali Sahali
Paradoxical embolism is an increasingly reported cause of arterial embolism. Several embolic sources have been described, but thrombosis of an arteriovenous fistula as a paradoxical emboligenic source has not, to the best of our knowledge, been reported. A 50-year-old Caucasian woman received a renal graft for primary hyperoxaluria. After transplantation, she was maintained on daily hemodialysis. ...... hiện toàn bộ
Bartter syndrome-like phenotype in a patient with diabetes: a case reportJournal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 12 - Trang 1-4 - 2018
Chamara Dalugama, Manoji Pathirage, S. A. M. Kularatne
Bartter’s syndrome is a rare genetic tubulopathy affecting the loop of Henle leading to salt wasting. It is commonly seen in utero or in early neonatal period. Rare cases of acquired Bartter’s syndrome are reported in association with infections like tuberculosis, granulomatous conditions like sarcoidosis, autoimmune diseases, and drugs. The mainstay of management includes potassium, calcium, and ...... hiện toàn bộ
Parainfectious encephalomyeloradiculitis associated with bacterial meningitis: a case reportJournal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 9 - Trang 1-3 - 2015
Yuji Kato, Takeshi Hayashi, Akira Uchino, Ichiro Deguchi, Norio Tanahashi
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in adulthood occurs in most cases after a viral infection. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis associated with bacterial meningitis, however, is quite rare. An 82-year-old Japanese woman presented with a fever and somnolence. Increased neutrophil count and protein content, and decreased glucose levels in her cerebrospinal fluid initially suggested bacterial me...... hiện toàn bộ

Alveococcosis, helminthiasis caused by the larvae of Alveococcus multilocularis, is characterized by the formation of parasitic nodes in the liver. This clinical case is a rare occurrence of liver alveococcosis in Uzbekistan. We present a case of a 33-year-old Asian woman from Uzbekistan who complained of discomfort in the epigastric region and right hypochondrium, along with general weakness. She...... hiện toàn bộ
