terval and tend to convert it into an RP interval. Antegrade block (depression of the impulse conduction to the ventricle) will prolong PR interval and tend to convert an RP into a PR interval. They reported one case with antegrade block, the PR interval measuring 0.18 sec. Vakil3 reported two cases of atrioventricular nodal rhythm with antegrade block. One of them, an elderly, hypertensive pat...

The following case demonstrates the importance of emergent imaging in patients with thoracic gunshot wounds. The AP chest in our case highlights findings that correlate well with follow up CT Angiogram of the chest. A companion case is provided to illustrate wound dynamics in the lung with a variation of extent of intrathoracic bleeding. This case also exemplifies application of complex planes ...

We present a case of a 70-year-old patient with hepatocellular carcinoma treated with RFA. The lesion was located in segment II under the ribs. During RFA pleural effusion is presented. After the procedure a dual phase CT revealed haemothorax and extravasation of the contrast medium from the intercostal vessels.

Uterine leiomyomas have been reported to metastasize to various organs including the lungs, skeletal muscles, bone marrow, peritoneum, and heart. They may present with symptoms related to the metastases several years after hysterectomy. These tumors regress after menopause, and it is rare to detect active tumors in postmenopausal women. Despite their ability to metastasize, they are considered ...

TOPIC: Cardiothoracic Surgery TYPE: Original Investigations PURPOSE: Treatment options for ventricular arrhythmia (VA) in non-ischemic cardiomyopathies (NICM) are limited. Anti-arrhythmic drugs and catheter ablation conventional treatment VA. However, NICM, often fail. We have conducted a meta-analysis to assess the outcomes of cardiac sympathectomy resistant refractory arrhythmia. METHODS: Usi...

Abstract Background Retained hemothorax is a serious problem that can lead to empyema or fibro-thorax. Evacuation of the retained commonly performed via open thoracotomy. This randomized study was conducted represent our center's expertise with this issue, we compared outcomes video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) against thoracotomy in managing post-traumatic clotted hemothorax. Methods ...

Common presenting symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy are pain abdomen, amenorrhea, vaginal bleeding and syncope some times. Although it is typically confined to pelvis, rare manifestations involving the thorax, abdomen or pericardium have been documented(3-6). We reporting a case ruptured mainly as hemothorax.
