Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed how high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels change in patients after they undergo cardioversion for atrial fibrillation/flutter.
- Researchers measured hs-cTnT alongside other biomarkers at various time points before and after the procedure, finding that while many patients initially showed elevated hs-cTnT levels, these did not significantly change over time.
- The findings suggest that the rise in hs-cTnT seen in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation/flutter is not a result of the cardioversion procedure itself, as levels tend to decrease gradually without further significant increases.
Molluscum contagiosum is a common self-limited viral skin infection. The course of the infection often includes tender, crusted, erythematous lesions that prompt suspicion for bacterial infection. However, these signs of inflammation represent a host response that often precedes resolution of the viral disease, rather than bacterial superinfection, and do not require additional antibacterial treatment.

Neurologic complications are seen in up to 40% of patients with infective endocarditis and are the presenting symptom in a substantial percentage. We describe in detail the clinical scenarios of three patients admitted to our hospital, compare their characteristics and review the recent literature describing neurologic manifestations of infective endocarditis.
