syncope/inflammation

BACKGROUND Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor rarely occurs in the carotid artery, whereas syncope is infrequently associated with neck mass. RESULTS We reby present a case in which a 56-year-old man with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor at the left carotid bifurcation and is accompanied by

Cardiac tumors other than myxomas are rare. We report a series of 10 intracavitary polypoid myofibroblastic proliferations in children and young adults emphasizing gross, histologic, and clinical features. There were 6 females and 4 males, with a mean age of 10 years (range 5 wk to 21 y). All

A 85-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus and prior myocardial infarction was transferred to the emergency room with loss of consciousness due to marked bradycardia caused by hyperkalemia. The T wave during right ventricular pacing was tall and tent-shaped while the concentration of serum potassium

We describe a woman who presented with syncopal episodes and unilateral hypoglossal paresis in association with a highly infiltrative retropharyngeal mass. After an extensive malignancy workup, the patient was found to have Wegener granulomatosis (WG), an autoimmune necrotizing vasculitis that

Inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis is rare, but its incidence is increased in those with IVC filters or inflammatory bowel disease. Once the IVC is thrombosed, venous return is via collateral channels on the torso and retroperitoneum. Limitations in this collateral venous return can result in

BACKGROUND Over 50 % of cases of inflammatory cardiomyopathy are caused by bacterial or viral infection, the latter frequently Parvovirus B19, enterovirus (Coxsackie B virus) or adenovirus. Regarding the pathogenesis of the disease, its early phase is dominated by the infectious pathogen, which

Systemic inflammatory rheumatic diseases have shown an increase in frequency of internal malignancies, predominantly lymphoproliferative disorders. Occurrence of solid organ tumours is exceedingly rare. It is even rarer for it to manifest as recurrent syncope. We report a 55-year-old woman with

Influenza is a contagious viral illness that usually presents with upper respiratory and pulmonary symptoms. While generally self-limited, pulmonary, renal, metabolic, neurologic, and cardiac complications have all been described in the literature. Here we describe a case of a 46-year-old male with

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article was to evaluate image quality, oral contrast administration and bowel distention, side effects, and performance estimates of MR enterography in a large cohort of pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS A retrospective analysis of the

An 84-year-old-man was admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery for a sudden episode of fainting. Brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated no fresh lesions. Anorexia, fever and elevation of C-reactive protein and creatine phosphokinase were observed, and the patient

Adenosine 5'-triphiosphate (ATP) is released from cells under physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions. Extracellular ATP acts as an autocrine and paracrine agent affecting various cell types by activating cell surface P2 receptors (P2R), which include trans-cell membrane cationic channels, P2XR,

OBJECTIVE To assess whether vaginal misoprostol or oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce pain during and 30 minutes after hysterosalpingography (HSG). METHODS Randomized prospective, controlled, parallel-group study (Canadian Task Force classification I). METHODS University

Bağrul D. Syncope due to acute rheumatic fever with pacemakerlike syndrome. Turk J Pediatr 2019; 61: 810-814. The prolongation in the PR interval on the electrocardiogram is one of the minor criteria of Jones. Abnormal increases in the PR interval lead to hemodynamic impairments caused by

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) of the stomach are extremely rare in adults, and their oncologic prognosis is not well understood. We present a 28-year-old man with a proximal gastric IMT. The patient visited the emergency department of Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital with syncope and
