Few studies evaluated the value of incidental arterial calcification (AC) in non-cardiac CT scans, especially in young adults with no prior cardiovascular disease.\u0000\u0000\u0000AIMS\u0000To examine the relationship between arterial calcifications and the incidence of cardiovascular events.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000A retrospective study in patients aged 40-51 years old with no history of cardiovascular disease who underwent chest CT scans between 1.9.2012-31.8.2013 for reasons not related to cardiovascular disease. We assessed the presence of AC in the aorta and coronary arteries and its association with the rates of coronary catheterization for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), cardiac mortality and emergency room (ER) visits or hospitalizations for cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, we examined the association between AC and atherosclerotic risk factors.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000A total of 407 patients underwent CT scans for non-cardiovascular reasons within the timeframe specified; 308 were included in the study, 150 men and 158 women with average follow-up period of 7.2+0.29 years. There was an increased frequency in ACS and coronary catheterizations in patients with a positive AC compared to those with null AC (11.6% vs. 0.5% respectively, P= 0.0001, OR = 29.1). A positive AC was found more in men than women (35% vs. 20.9% respectively, P=0.006, OR=2.18). Patients with a positive AC had more ER and hospital admissions (33.7 % vs. 14.4% respectively, P<0.0001, OR=3). Patients with diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia exhibited higher rates of positive AC.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000Although multivariate analysis is still to be conducted, it seems that AC is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and increased incidence of coronary catheterizations. Primary preventive strategies in patients with positive AC may reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.","PeriodicalId":88502,"journal":{"name":"Harefuah.

These programs expose students to global challenges, to a diversity of cultures and healthcare systems, and have been shown to improve medical knowledge, as well as clinical and communication skills. In 2018 and 2019, the Faculty of Medicine at the Technion, in cooperation with the Department for Infectious Diseases in the Rambam Health Care campus and the \"Brit Olam\" nonprofit organization, offered a clinical clerkship in Kiboga hospital, Uganda. The elective took place in a public governmental hospital located in one of the poorest districts of Uganda. During a three-week period, the students accompanied by Israeli and Uganda tutors, participated in clinical rounds and other clinical activities in various departments of the hospital. This manuscript, describes the students' experiences in Kiboga. During the short elective, students had a unique opportunity to observe a different culture, immerse in a completely different healthcare system, learn about how a detailed medical history and a thorough physical examination can lead to diagnosis (without extensive diagnostic tests), and closely observe ethical challenges and difficult clinical decisions. The elective helped students develop personally and professionally and solidify their commitment to medicine. Currently, in Israeli medical schools, there are a few programs which expose students to medicine in low-resource countries. We believe that expanding the understanding of Global Health through courses and overseas opportunities in long-term partnerships, can improve the students' medical education.","PeriodicalId":88502,"journal":{"name":"Harefuah.

The last had intermediate grade lymphoma, but had been misdiagnosed 4 years before as an undifferentiated carcinoma of the tonsil and was irradiated. After the malignant process had extended to the stomach, the correct diagnosis of diffuse large-cell lymphoma was made. Subtotal gastrectomy was followed by combined systemic chemotherapy.
