Gastric perforation in association with incarceration of a hiatus hernia rarely features on a list of differential diagnoses of acute chest pain. A patient presented to the emergency department with acute chest pain characteristic of myocardial ischaemia. Several risk factors for ischaemic heart
Boerhaave's syndrome is a rare but life-threatening condition characterised by spontaneous rupture of the oesophagus. Owing to its rarity, it is often not thought about as a cause for chest pain and is often admitted under a medical ward. This can lead to a delayed diagnosis with unfavourable
Patients in western Sweden who underwent CABG from 1988 to 1991 received prior to coronary angiography and 2 and 5 years after CABG a questionnaire, in which they were asked about symptoms of chest pain and dyspnea. In all, 1,226 patients answered the inquiry prior to CABG, 1,531 patients 2 years

In dogs, intercostal nerves were froze at -70 degrees C at different time including 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 s. Samples were got at the operative day, in 10 days and 60 days respectively, then carried on the
BACKGROUND
Hypertension (HT) is a growing health problem in the population and associated with increased cardiovascular event risk and mortality. In hypertensive patients, progressive left ventricular (LV) contractility deterioration is detectable by gated single photon emission computed tomography
We report a case of multisystem Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) with lung, bone and pituitary involvement. A 20-year-old man developed thirst, polydipsia and polyuria in 1983. He had right femur pain from 1988 and osseous LCH was diagnosed based on the operated specimen in 1989. From July 1990,

In childhood, chest pain occurring at exercise is a common complaint. A cardiac etiology for it is exceptionally found, explaining that most children do not undergo systematic cardiological investigation. However, chest pain at exercise may manifest as the unique symptom of a viral myocarditis.
Knowledgeable personnel at 23 hospitals with chest pain emergency rooms (CPERs) served by nonhospital-based emergency health services (EMS) systems were surveyed. Although few hospitals had involved EMS in the planning stages of the CPER, there were no reports of a poor relationship with the local
Although methemoglobinemia is rare in adulthood, it may have fatal consequences if unnoticed. We planned to implant an implantable cardioverter defibrillator ICD in a 50-year-old male patient for primary prevention. Following sterile draping, prilocaine 5 mg/kg (400 mg) was injected subcutaneously
