{"title":"Pleuropericardial Cyst: A Review of the Literature","authors":"Christina Koumantzia, N. Saridakis, A. Eleftheriou","doi":"10.29245/2578-3025/2019/4.1175","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29245/2578-3025/2019/4.1175","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Pleuropericardial cysts (PPCs), account for 5 - 10% of all mediastinal tumours, are rare lesions occurring in approximately 1 in 100000 persons and are usually congenital and rarely acquired. They are detected post-mortem or incidentally on routine chest X-ray (CXR) and in most cases multi detector Computer Tomography is used to confirm the diagnosis. As benign course and clinical latency are characteristic features of such cysts and the occurrence of complications is rare, the majority of them can be left untreated. Methods: The aim of the study is to review the literature regarding PPCs and create a table which summarises all the published cases in order to draw a conclusion about the epidemiology, as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to PPCs exclusively. We reviewed retrospectively the clinical manifestation, diagnostic and therapeutic approach in 101 cases of PPCs since the 19 th century Results: Our statistical analysis led to the following results: mean age of initial detection: 48.7 ± 17.2 years, female:male ratio: about 3:2, presence of symptomatology: 37/101 cases, most common location: right cardiophrenic angle (RCPA), most common method of initial detection: CXR in 49/101 cases, mean maximal diameter: 8,3 ± 3 cm. Conclusion: The management of a pleuropericardial cyst should be based on an algorithm in which the cyst’s size, shape and compressibility along with clinical presentation and patient’s fitness and preferences are be taken into consideration. When interventional is required, surgical resection by means of traditional open surgery or minimally invasive methods are considered to be the gold standard and along with percutaneous aspiration are the methods that have mostly been used.","PeriodicalId":93019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cardiology and cardiovascular sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49565051","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}

Nathan","doi":"10.29245/2578-3025/2019/3.1151","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29245/2578-3025/2019/3.1151","url":null,"abstract":"Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) offers tactical-technical instruction is gaining international recognition for its ability to produce intelligent players via a problem-solving approach in game play such as hockey. However the effect of TGfU pedagogical approach through small side game play (SSG) towards physiology components of Heart Rate (HR) still takes a backseat compared to research on tactical decision making and skill execution that has been studied widely. SSG proposed in TGfU approach dwells around duration of game play (load), how fast the SSG game manouvers (intensity) and players cardiovascular fitness can be detected by HR tool and therefore HR crucial to be investigated. This quasi-experimental study investigated the effect of TGfU compared to skill mastery instruction, termed as Skill Drill Technical (SDT), among Malaysian and Indian elite junior hockey players in terms of SSG game play intensity via heart rate (HR) measurement at different points of game play. A total of n = 60 players with an average age of 15 ± 1.03 were selected via simple random technique from both countries involved in this study and assigned equally into groups, with 15 players per group for TGfU and for SDT across Malaysia and India. Gathered data were analysed using the ANOVA and ANCOVA techniques. There was significant higher warm-up HR bpm among players via TGfU compated to SDT across the two countries. Whereas HR bpm immediately after the 5 vs. 5 game play intervention and HR bpm after three minutes’ recovery, Indian players with TGfU recorded a higher and significant difference compared to SDT. However, in contrast, findings indicated no significant difference between these two instruction models among Malaysian player. Therefore, overall findings reiterated that TGfU is a useful approach for game play to enhance intensity and cardiac output through HR bpm measurement. In conclusion, future research can employ together HR and RPM (Borg Scale) or electronic device for more accurate reading coupled 6 sec and 15 sec HR readings. Future study, should too address the effect of TGfU on different variation of small sided game play intensity along skill execution and tactical decision making.","PeriodicalId":93019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cardiology and cardiovascular sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42992043","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}

Adult NVAF patients who switched from warfarin to dabigatran, apixaban, or rivaroxaban were identified in MarketScan databases between 10/2010-12/2015. Patients had 12 months pre-period (index date was 1st NOAC claim) and were followed up to 12 months until medication discontinuation, end of enrollment, inpatient death, or 12/2016. Overall, 8,679 and 5,761 dabigatran switchers were matched (1:1) to rivaroxaban and apixaban switchers (mean age 73-74 years). Compared with rivaroxaban switchers, a lower proportion of dabigatran switchers had an inpatient (IP) visit (20.0% vs. 21.6%, p=0.008). Dabigatran switchers had lower per-patient-per-month (PPPM) total outpatient (3.87 vs. 4.06, p=0.002), emergency department (ED; 0.48 vs. 0.52, p=0.026), outpatient office (1.17 vs. 1.22, p<0.001), and other outpatient (2.71 vs. 2.83, p=0.043) visits compared with rivaroxaban switchers. A similar proportion of dabigatran and apixaban switchers had an IP visit (20.7% vs. 21.2%); compared with apixaban switchers, dabigatran switchers had significantly more PPPM IP visits (0.23 vs. 0.21, p=0.031) but significantly lower ED visits (0.47 vs. 0.52, p=0.016). Post-discharge 30-day readmission rates were comparable among warfarin-to-NOAC switching groups. Time to readmission was longer for dabigatran versus rivaroxaban switchers (8.2 vs. 7.8 days, p<0.001), but comparable with apixaban patients (8.1 vs. 8.4 days). Switching to dabigatran after warfarin discontinuation may lower HCRU among NVAF patients compared with switching to rivaroxaban or apixaban.","PeriodicalId":93019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cardiology and cardiovascular sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48383105","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}
