Hypothermia for non-VF/ VT cardiac arrest
Sudden cardiac death represents a major health problem. In adults, the prevalence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) attended by the emergency medical services (EMS) ranges from 52 to 112 per 100,000 person-years in developed countries [1], whereas the prevalence of adult in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) ranges from 1 to 5 per 1,000 patient admissions [2]. Mortality from cardiac arrest e...
متن کاملIdiopathic SIADH in young patients: don't forget the nose
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is an uncommon neuroendocrine sinonasal cancer associated by many authors to ectopic production of several biologically active substances. We report a case of a 31-year-old male patient who presented with idiopathic syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH).

Most persistent elevations of cardiac output can be attributed to arteriovenous fistulae, to arterial anoxemia or anemia, or to metabolic or hor...
متن کاملCardiac MRI vs. myocardial 18F-FDG PET/CT in patients with clinical concern for cardiac sarcoid
Methods 168 patients had both CMR and myocardial PET/CT studies for suspected cardiac sarcoid at a single institution from 11/1/2009 to 9/5/2014. 106 had both studies performed within 3 months; 2 MRIs were nondiagnostic, leaving 104 patients for analysis, mean age 57 (18-80), 33 females and 71 males. The presence of DE on CMR and FDG uptake on PET/CT was compared and stratified by the time betw...
متن کاملFOCUS ISSUE ON CARDIAC SARCOIDOSIS Role of PET/ CT for the Identification of Cardiac Sarcoid Disease
Sarcoidosis reflects a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology that is characterized by the formation of non-caseating granuloma in various organs. Cardiac involvement may occur in one out of four patients accounting for an increased mortality rate in these patients. F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography( F-FDG-PET)is increasingly applied for the detection and characte...
