Why do patients with chagasic cardiomyopathy have worse outcomes than those with non-chagasic cardiomyopathy?
BACKGROUND Heart failure is a highly prevalent disease, the prognosis of which depends on different predictive factors. OBJECTIVE Chagas disease is a predictor of poor prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure (HF). The purpose of this study is to investigate whether this condition also predicts poor outcome in acutely decompensated patients. METHODS Four hundred and seventeen patien...
متن کاملUnusual Finding of an Intact Moth During Routine Colonoscopy
Case Report There is scant literature describing inadvertent ingestion of insects visualized during endoscopy.1,2 Previously described insects include ants, wasps, bees, yellow jackets, and cockroaches. We present a case of a 55-year-old male with a normal colonoscopy except for the discovery of a lifeless winged insect between folds of the transverse colon (Figure 1). In the image, the insect ...
متن کاملAnti-pig IgM antibodies in human serum react predominantly with Gal(alpha 1-3)Gal epitopes.
A major problem with pig-to-human-tissue xenograft studies is that humans have natural antibodies to pig cells; these antibodies would cause hyperacute rejection if pig tissues were xenografted to humans. Here we show that most of human IgM antibodies present in the serum of healthy donors and reactive with pig cells react with galactose in an (alpha 1-3) linkage with galactose--i.e., Gal(alpha...
