A 50-year-old female with a final diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) was reported. Episodes of seizures, which were companied with a transient tombstoning ST elevation, were recorded during treatment. This report on TCM with tombstoning ST elevation implies to clinicians that the ECG changes of TCM are of great variability.

BACKGROUND Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis is a complex multifaceted process that often yields multiple differential diagnoses and subdiagnoses. OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to (1) understand cognitive strategies and diagnostic reasoning processes of TCM practitioners engaged in tongue diagnosis and (2) investigate TCM practitioners' diagnostic accuracy. Clinical decisi...

Digital auscultation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a relatively new technology which has been developed for several years. This system makes diagnoses by analyzing sound signals of patients using signal processing and pattern recognition. The paper discusses TCM auscultation in both traditional and current digital auscultation methods. First, this article discusses demerits of tradit...

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a unique cardiomyopathy characterized by chest pain, ECG, and regional wall motion abnormalities closely mimicking acute myocardial infarction, in the absence of significant coronary artery disease. Classic ECG changes of TCM include ST elevation or T wave inversion. However, ECG abnormalities of TCM in patients with paced ventricular rhythms have not been well...

Transductive Confidence Machine (TCM) and its computationally efficient modification, Inductive Confidence Machine (ICM), are ways of complementing machine-learning algorithms with practically useful measures of confidence. We show that when TCM and ICM are used in the on-line mode, their confidence measures are well-calibrated, in the sense that predictive regions at confidence level 1 − δ wil...

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), an important component of complementary and alternative medicine, has evolved over thousands of years with its own unique system of theories, diagnostics and therapies. TCM has been increasingly used in the last decades and become well known for its significant role in preventing and treating cancer. We believe that TCM possesses advantages over Western medic...

Introduction Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a form of acute cardiomyopathy showing left ventricular apical ballooning. Whilst the exact mechanism of TCM remains unknown, it is hypothesized that an excess of circulatory catecholamine's to an exaggerated sympathetic from an intense physical or emotional distress as the cause. We report the rare case of a 76-year-old woman who developed TCM aft...

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) thinks highly of Zheng Hou in the treatment of lung cancer. Zheng is evidence. Hou is clinical manifestations. After obtaining information and evidence of patients by means of the four diagnostic methods, doctors treat patients by syndrome differentiation. In TCM, the collection and study of medical literature of tumor are emphasized. Medical classics and succ...

Background: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with its focus on herbal use is popular and appreciated worldwide with increased tendency, although its therapeutic efficacy is poorly established for most herbal TCM products. Treatment was perceived as fairly safe but discussions emerged more recently as to whether herb induced liver injury (HILI) from herbal TCM is a major issue; Methods: To ana...

Cultured IFN-γ ELISPOT assays are primarily a measure of central memory T cell (Tcm) responses with humans; however, this important subset of lymphocytes is poorly characterized in cattle. Vaccine-elicited cultured IFN-γ ELISPOT responses correlate with protection against bovine tuberculosis in cattle. However, whether this assay measures cattle Tcm responses or not is uncertain. The objective ...
