[Malignant hypercalcemia].

Malignant hypercalcemia is the main metabolic complication of cancer. Clinical presentation varies from asymptomatic to a medical emergency. The main causes include parathyroid hormone-related protein production and bone metastases, while hypervitaminosis D and hyperparathyroidism are rarer causes.

Experience with a novel high frequency optical coherence tomography device for intracoronary imaging: a case series.

Introduction: Intravascular imaging, especially optical coherence tomography (OCT), has significantly improved percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), yet its routine clinical application faces challenges. This case series introduces the Gentuity® High-Frequency Optical Coherence Tomography (HF-OCT), a novel device designed to enhance intracoronary imaging with a significantly faster pullback and smaller catheter size, potentially offering enhanced navigability in complex lesions. We aimed to assess the image quality of Gentuity® HF-OCT in complex vessel conditions, as well as presenting a case series to illustrate the application of the device in various clinical scenarios.

Differential impact of fentanyl and morphine doses on ticagrelor-induced platelet inhibition in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: a subgroup analysis from the PERSEUS randomized trial.

Introduction: Among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), intravenous fentanyl does not enhance ticagrelor-induced platelet inhibition within 2 h compared to morphine. The impact of the total dose of fentanyl and morphine received on ticagrelor pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic responses in patients with STEMI remains however undetermined.

Materials And Methods: We performed a post-hoc subanalysis of the prospective, open-label, single-center, randomized PERSEUS trial (NCT02531165) that compared treatment with intravenous fentanyl vs.

[Applications, techniques, and best practices for using ChatGPT].

The future of a machine writing our reports for us could also lead to it carrying out our consultations, a scenario whose relevance is open to debate. Nevertheless, the present offers us new artificial intelligence tools that can support us in our daily activities. The publication in 2017 of Transformers initiated a disruptive revolution by enabling the emergence of major language models, of which ChatGPT is the best known.

Left hepatic hydrothorax without ascites.

Hepatic hydrothorax (HH) is a complication in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. It predominantly presents in the right pleural cavity and usually associates with ascites. Few cases of HH occurring without detectable ascites have been reported.
