CLINICOPATHOLOGIC CORRELATIONS De Subitaneis Mortibus

چکیده
A twenty-year-old carpenter died suddenly and unexpectedly nine years after surgical treatment of coarctation of the aorta. Both before and after surgery he had paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, T wave inversions in the ECG and persisting cardiac hypertrophy. At postmortem examination there was focal fibromuscular dysplasia narrowing the sinus node artery, but other small coronary arteries were normal and there was no focal fibrosis of the ventricular myocardium. Within the sinus node there were several small glomera surrounding branches of the sinus node artery. Pericardial fibrosis was present over much of the heart, including margins of the sinus node. The central fibrous body was thickened,

CLINICOPATHOLOGIC CORRELATIONS De Subitaneis Mortibus II. Coronary Embolism in the Fetus
The unexpected finding of a right coronary artery embolism in a human fetus of five months gestational age led to an examination of the hearts of 15 other fetuses lost at approximately the same period of pregnancy. No other examples of coronary embolism were found, indicating that this is not a frequent cause of fetal death. Possible mechanisms of death in the index case are discussed on the ba...

Postmortem findings within the cardiac conduction system are described from the case of a black woman with sarcoid heart disease who died suddenly. Her clinical course had been characterized by recurring ventricular arrhythmias and bouts of syncope. Both the sinus node artery and the atrioventricular (A-V) node artery were sites of focal fibromuscular dysplasia, which thickened slightly the wal...

Syncope and sudden death occurs in certain purebred Pug dogs which have been found to have intermittent sinus pauses and paroxysmal second degree heart block on electrocardiographic (ECG) study. We have established a colony of such dogs to study this problem and here report the results of histological examination of the cardiac conduction system in twenty-one of them. These include a dam which ...

Background and Aim: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant neoplasm of the salivary glands with complex histopathologic features and clinical behavior. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathologic significance of p63, Maspin and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 expression in MEC. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, immunohistochemical stain...
