Silent myocardial infarction is a little-known phenomenon, the mechanisms of which have still remained unclear. Herein, we presented the case of a middle-aged man suffering from silent myocardial infarction who presented with homonymous hemianopia and no other major cardiovascular risk factors, except for stage 1 hypertension.

Classically, ascending aortic dissection (AD) presents as sudden, severe chest pain that is tearing type and radiates to the back. Herein, we present a rare case of severe aortic regurgitation with silent ascending AD, which had no chest pain symptoms. The aortic valve apparatus probably masked this AD; therefore, it was not detected by echocardiography and during the surgery.

Splenic infarction occurs due to occlusion of splenic vessels that leads to splenic tissue ischemia and necrosis. There are several reports regarding splenic infarction in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Herein, we report a case of acute promyelocytic anemia (AML-M3) who presented with abdominal pain and splenic infarction.

It is predominantly associatedwith atopic dermatoses. Therefore, it is also termedeczema herpeticum (EH) 1. Herein, we report acase of Kaposi’s varicelliform er...

Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is an effective treatment for port- wine stain and can cause some short- term and long- term side- effects. Pyogenic granoluma is one of its late- onset adverse effects. Herein, we present two cases of pyogenic granoluma following treatment of port- wine stain with PDL.

This review reports recent advances in the field of polymer–layered silicate nano composites. Thesematerials have attracted both academic and industrial attention because they exhibit dramaticimprovement in properties at very low filler contents. Herein, the structure, preparation andproperties of polymer–layered silicate nanocomposites are discussed in general, and finally the effectof clay na...

Tietze’s syndrome is an inflammatory disorder, which frequently misdiagnosed as the severe life-threating problem. Herein, we reported a case of a 23-year-old male, who complained about the acute chest pain after pneumonia complication. After full examination, he diagnosed as Tietze’s syndrome.

meningiomas are rare tumors of posterior fossa. delayed intracranial hemorrhage is a rare complication of surgeries in this territory. herein, we report a case of status epilepticus as a result of delayed motor cortex hemorrhage, complicating resection of a meningioma arising from foramen magnum.

infective endocarditis is one of the most severe complications of parenteral drug abuse. the outstanding clinical feature of infective endocarditis in intravenous drug abusers is the high incidence of right-sided valve infection, and the tricuspid valve is involved in 60% to 70% of the cases. we herein report a case of isolated pulmonic valve infective endocarditis with a native pulmonary valve.
