Pulmonary Embolism Presenting as ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Report of Two Cases.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is often underrecognized due to its ability to mimic other conditions; however, ultrasound can provide diagnostic clues to aid in the diagnosis of PE. We describe two patients who presented with symptoms suggestive of cardiac ischemia and had electrocardiograms (EKGs) indicative of anteroseptal myocardial infarction. In both cases, cardiac point-of-care ultrasonography showed signs of large pulmonary emboli, which were then confirmed on computed tomography angiography of the chest.

Infective Endocarditis Presenting With Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report.

Infectious endocarditis (IE) is a rare disease characterized by infection of the endocardial surface of the heart. IE predominately involves the left-sided valves; however, right-sided valvular IE has increased in incidence with intravenous drug use. Treatment of IE is centered on targeted antibiotic therapy and management of complications, including septic embolization, which can affect all of the major arterial beds.

Ozone Therapy versus Hyaluronic Acid Injections for Pain Relief in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: Preliminary Findings on Molecular and Clinical Outcomes from a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Ozone therapy (OT) is used for the treatment of multiple musculoskeletal disorders. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in its use for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). The aim of this double-blind randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the efficacy of OT compared with hyaluronic acid (HA) injections for pain relief in patients with knee OA.

Anticardiolipin Antibodies in Patients with Cancer: A Case-Control Study.

Antiphospholipid antibodies are highly prevalent in autoimmune diseases and mainly associated with thromboembolic events, which is one of the major reasons for cancer-related mortality. Confirmed adult cancer patients were included (n = 40) with an equal number of age- and sex-matched healthy controls. The presence and concentration of anticardiolipin antibodies were investigated by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using the venous blood samples.
