Choriocarcinoma complicated with intra-abdominal and intrapleural hemorrhage in pregnancy - case report.

Background: Choriocarcinoma is a rare neoplasm, exceptionally uncommon during an ongoing pregnancy. The disease often has a metastatic character, causing severe symptoms from various anatomic sites like the lungs, central nervous system, vagina, pelvis, or liver. Due to the condition's rarity, evidence on how to treat the choriocarcinoma originating during pregnancy remains scarce.

Changes in Subendocardial Viability Ratio in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often associated with cardiac dysfunction, which is a consequence of the brain-heart cross talk. The subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR) is an estimate of myocardial perfusion. The aim of this study was to analyze changes in the SEVR in patients with severe TBI without previous cardiac diseases.

Successful Combination of Landiolol and Levosimendan in Patients with Decompensated Heart Failure.

Tachycardia and supraventricular tachyarrhythmias often impair cardiovascular capacity in patients with decompensated heart failure (dHF) treated with inotropes. Normalization of heart rhythm or rate typically improves diastolic filling and stroke volume (SV). Thus, isochronal administration of an ultra-short-acting and highly selective β-blockers, such as landiolol, along with inotropic calcium-sensitizer medications, such as levosimendan, could benefit patients with dHF.

Visceral artery aneurysms - classification, diagnosis and treatment.

Although visceral artery aneurysms are rare, mortality due to their rupture is high, estimated at even 25-75%. That is why it is significant to detect each such lesion. Visceral artery aneurysms are usually asymptomatic and found incidentally during examinations performed for other indications.

Sonographic assessment of the prevalence and evolution of fluid collections as a complication of kidney transplantation.

Aim Of The Study: The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence and evolution of perirenal fluid collections in a group of 488 patients who have undergone kidney transplantation.

Material And Methods: Sonographic documentation of 488 deceased-donor kidney recipients was evaluated for the prevalence of perirenal fluid collections and their evolution in time, depending on selected demographic features of the patients, time of detection, initial dimensions and precise position of the collection relative to the kidney and the location of the transplanted organ in the right or left iliac fossa. The collected data were used for statistical analysis to determine the strength of the potential relationships.
