acute myocardial infarction can culminate in sudden cardiac death due to cardiogenic shock and ventricular fibrillation, and also rarely due to cardiac rupture. we present a case of post-infarction myocardial rupture after thrombolytic therapy diagnosed with transthoracic echocardiography and treated with direct closure and coronary artery bypass grafting.

case presentation a 27-year-old male, without a remarkable medical history, who suffered from abdominal pain for 2 days after falling was admitted to the emergency department with hypovolemic shock. upon performing emergency laparotomy a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm was found. conclusions it is important to consider rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm in patients with abdominal pain and hy...

BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Hemodynamics play an important role in the mechanisms of aneurysm formation, growth, and rupture. However, little is known about the hemodynamics of rupture sites. CLINICAL PRESENTATION We incidentally acquired 3-dimensional images before and at the moment of rebleeding of a cerebral aneurysm in a patient. Comparison of these 2 images enabled precise identification o...

ATRIAL rupture of the heart is a dramatic event which leads inevitably to death. This paper reports the only case of atrial rupture among 5,900 autopsies at the Albany Hospital and summarizes the pertinent literature on atrial rupture as to etiology, diagnosis, pathologic physiology, sex, age, and treatment. A total of 79 cases of atrial rupture has been collected from the literature, classifie...

let $g$ be a connected graph with vertex set $v(g)$‎. ‎the‎ ‎degree resistance distance of $g$ is defined as $d_r(g) = sum_{{u‎,‎v} subseteq v(g)} [d(u)+d(v)] r(u,v)$‎, ‎where $d(u)$ is the degree‎ ‎of vertex $u$‎, ‎and $r(u,v)$ denotes the resistance distance between‎ ‎$u$ and $v$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we characterize $n$-vertex unicyclic‎ ‎graphs having minimum and second minimum degree resista...

Uterine rupture during pregnancy is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates in both the fetus and the mother. Hysteroscopic surgeries such as myomectomy and septum resection are known risk factors for uterine rupture in pregnancy following the operation. We present four infertile patients who were admitted to Kocaeli Medical Park Hospital between February 2014 and November 2016. Thre...

60 vs. 61 to 90 degrees) and randomized to CCh or placebo 2:1 in favour of the former. Post hoc meta-analysis of IMPRESS I and II data revealed that men treated with CCh showed a mean 34% improvement in penile curvature, representing a mean ±SD −17.0±14.8 degree change per subject, compared with a mean 18.2% improvement in placebo treated men, representing a mean −9.3±13.6 degree change per sub...

OBJECTIVES Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture has a high mortality rate. Although the diagnosis of a ruptured AAA is usually straightforward, detection of impending rupture signs can be more challenging. Early diagnosis of impending AAA rupture can be lifesaving. Furthermore, differentiating between impending and complete rupture has important repercussions on patient management and progno...
