Multiple myelomatosis with proptosis.

MULTIPLE myelomata are uncommon endosteal tumours developing from the myeloblastic elements of the bone marrow. The ribs, sternum, clavicle, vertebral bodies, and pelvis are favourite sites; the skull is also frequently involved and the long bones may be affected, but never alone (Perkins, 1936). The disease has an insidious onset and is often only recognized late when multiple nodules appear o...

ECG delta waves in patients with palpitation.

It is important to recognise Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome in electrocardiograms (ECG), as it may mimic ischaemic heart disease, ventricular hypertrophy and bundle branch block. In addition, ECG can aid in the localisation of the accessory pathway. Recognising WPW syndrome allows for risk stratification, the identification of associated conditions and the institution of appropriate manag...

Dyspnea and Palpitation during Pregnancy

OBJECTIVES Dyspnea and palpitation are common features of pregnancy. While several theories have been put forward to explain the etiology of gestational dyspnea and palpitation, there have been few systemic studies of its incidence, severity and time-course in a group of normal women. METHODS We interviewed postpartum women, within 3 days after delivery, about dyspnea and palpitation. Separat...

Congenital Orbital Teratoma with Unilateral Proptosis.

Teratoma is a rare tumor, containing structures originating from all three germinal layers. The most frequent location of teratoma is the gonads. Orbital teratoma is extremely rare. In 1969, Jensen reported that only 40 cases of orbital teratoma existed in the world. We describe a rare case of orbital teratoma in a 15-day girl who presented with marked proptosis of the left eye. The eyeball was...
