However, clinical manifestations and neuroimaging findings in the context of a hyperglycemic crisis are less frequent phenomena with unclear pathophysiology. Case report : A 68-year-old man presented focal seizures and right homonymous hemianopsia after a non-ketotic hyperglycemic crisis. Brain MRI showed cortical diffusion restriction and subcortical T2 / FLAIR hypointensity in left occipital, temporal (mesial) and parietal lobes. Spectroscopy was performed showing a nonspecific pattern, cerebrospinal fluid was normal and there was improvement with glycemic control. MRI findings were considered secondary to the hyperglycemic crisis. Conclusion : Non-ketotic hyperglycemic states can manifest with several rare neurological alterations and recognizing them early is of vital importance given their potential reversibility. As in other metabolic disorders, epileptic seizures in this context can have focal-type characteristics. Although pathophysiological mechanisms are not clearly elucidated yet, multiple neuroimaging techniques promise to establish patterns that allow accurate and timely diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":73637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cardiology case reports","volume":"25 1","pages":"146-155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81224839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Venous leg ulcers are one of the most frequent complications of this pathology, with a global prevalence of 2%. This disease affects both the quality of life of patients and, due to the high cost of the treatment, the health system. Compressive therapy and moist wound healing have been the gold standard treatment. However, when complications occur, they may not be effective. Case report : This is the case of a 66-year-old female patient with venous ulcers on her lower limbs and symptoms of fever and local pain that did not respond to conventional therapies. The patient was treated with a new dermal substitute made of an acellular type-I collagen membrane, which promotes the closure of the ulcer by stimulating the replacement of injured tissue with tissue similar to the healthy one. The condition of the patient improved at 16 weeks, and after 8 months of treatment there was no recurrence of the lesions. Conclusions : Acellular type-I collagen membrane developed by the Tissue Engineering Working Group of the Department of Pharmacy of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia is effective in treating venous ulcers of the lower limbs. Its low cost facilitates the access of the whole population to therapies based on its application.","PeriodicalId":73637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cardiology case reports","volume":"21 1","pages":"128-136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76816847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has an estimated prevalence of 1 in every 3 000-5 000 live births, with the same male-to-female ratio.Case presentation: This is the case of a male newborn with adequate prenatal care checkup appointments, who presented with a congenital deformity of the lower limbs. On physical examination, he had hyperextension of the knees (passive flexion of 20° in the left leg and 30° in the right leg), and painful active movement. On admission, peripheral pulses had good intensity, and adequate distal perfusion was found. Barlow and Ortolani maneuvers were negative, and no midline lesions were observed in the spine. The patient was diagnosed with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and received multidisciplinary treatment to avoid early morbidity and mortality.Conclusion: To attain satisfactory clinical development in patients with arthrogryposis, it is essential to have a high level of antenatal suspicion, as well as appropriate prenatal checkups. All this allows for proper management, minimizing diagnostic errors, avoiding unnecessary procedures, and performing effective and timely treatment with outstanding results.","PeriodicalId":73637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cardiology case reports","volume":"356 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75147266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case report provides information about imaging findings of these two entities.Case presentation: A 37-year-old male, bodybuilder, presented pain and edema in the left gluteal region, associated with functional limitation, 5 days after receiving an intramuscular anabolic steroid injection (stanozolol). The man underwent an ultrasound scan and magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis with contrast, which allowed making the diagnosis of myositis of the left gluteus maximus and osteitis of the iliac bone. The patient was treated with piperacillin-tazobactam and vancomycin for 10 days, without complications. No surgical management was required.Conclusion: Myositis is a rare complication of anabolic steroid injections and the pathophysiological mechanism of this substance is unknown. Osteitis, on the other hand, is an even rarer complication and, to the best of our knowledge, this isthe first known case associated with this cause. Given the findings, the myositis reported herein has an infectious nature; however, further studies are required to demonstrate the actual causal association.","PeriodicalId":73637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cardiology case reports","volume":"123 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75808354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is characterized by the production of large amounts of catecholamines and also by the capacity to secrete bioactive peptides such as cytokines, mainly interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and TNF alpha.Case presentation: 24-year-old man, who consulted for fever, myalgia, and choluria. His laboratory tests were compatible with a systemic inflammatory response without infectious or autoimmune causes. However, a fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDGPET) revealed a left adrenal mass, without extra-adrenal lesions. On admission, increased levels of differentiated urine methanephrines, elevated baseline cortisol, non-suppressed adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), and positive low dose dexamethasone suppression test for cortisol were found. With suspicion of catecholamine and ACTH-producing pheochromocytoma, a tumor resection was performed, which conspicuously resolved all alterations of the inflammatory response. The histologic findings confirmed a pheochromocytoma, but the immunostaining for ACTH was negative. A literature review and the comparison of the findings with other reported cases allowed inferring that this was a case of interleukin-producing pheochromocytoma.Conclusion: Pheochromocytoma may be a cause of febrile syndrome, with IL-6 being the main mediator, which explains the manifestationsof systemic inflammation and ACTH-mediated hypercortisolism.","PeriodicalId":73637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cardiology case reports","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87042251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is an autosomal recessive disorder that is associated with defective cell regeneration and DNA repair mechanisms. It is characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, abnormal eye movements, oculocutaneous telangiectasias and immunodeficiency. Early diagnosis is critical to initiate a timely interdisciplinary treatment, improve acute symptoms, and control the multiple comorbidities of the disease. The following is the case of a patient who presented with the aforementioned characteristics and had an adequate response to the established medical treatment.Case presentation: A 7-year-old female patient from Bogotá, who presented clinical signs of global neurodevelopmental delay, cerebelar ataxia, frequent respiratory infections and ocular telangiectasias. Symptoms were associated with elevation of alpha fetoprotein and immunodeficiency, which allowed for a diagnosis of AT and the initiation of a timely interdisciplinary treatment.Conclusion: AT is a chromosomal instability syndrome with characteristic signs and symptoms. It is essential to know the etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, and therapeutic options, emphasizing that early detection and clinical suspicion could favor the proper management of the comorbidities and improve the progressive course of the disease.","PeriodicalId":73637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cardiology case reports","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83020232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
