Iron deficiency: an ominous sign in patients with systolic chronic heart failure.
AIMS Beyond erythropoiesis, iron is involved in numerous biological processes crucial for maintenance of homeostasis. Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are prone to develop iron deficiency (ID), and iron supplementation improves their functional status and quality of life. We sought to examine the relationship between ID and survival in patients with systolic CHF. METHODS AND RESULTS ...
متن کاملEmphysematous Gastritis: An Ominous Diagnosis Managed Conservatively
A 54-year-old female with HIV, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presented with altered mental status, diabetic ketoacidosis, nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms, and a buttock abscess.

متن کاملPeripheral chemoreceptor hypersensitivity: an ominous sign in patients with chronic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Peripheral chemoreceptor hypersensitivity is a feature of abnormal cardiorespiratory reflex control in chronic heart failure (CHF) and may contribute to sympathetic overactivity, attenuated baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), and excessive ventilation during exercise. We studied whether augmented peripheral chemosensitivity carries independent prognostic significance. METHODS AND RESULTS...
متن کاملFetal micrognathia: almost always an ominous finding.
The fetal mandible is a common site for defects induced by a large number of genetic conditions and adverse environmental factors. Its complex development, described briefly below, requires several elements from different embryonic components to interact and fuse, both among themselves and with the cranial neural crest cells; this multistep process is highly susceptible to a series of molecular...
متن کاملTinnitus: identifying the ominous causes.
