A wolf in sheep's clothing-aortic stenosis and cardiac amyloidosis: "RAISE"ing awareness in clinical practice.

Aesop's fable of the wolf in sheep's clothing encourages us to look beneath the exterior appearance of a situation and evaluate the truth that lies beneath. This concept should be applied when managing older patients with severe aortic stenosis. This population of patients is increasingly being identified as having concomitant cardiac amyloidosis, which is an underrecognized cause of common cardiac conditions.

Best Practices in Nuclear Imaging for the Diagnosis of Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) in KSA: The Eagle Eyes of Local Experts.

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a complex and serious form of heart failure caused by the accumulation of transthyretin amyloid protein in the heart muscle. Variable symptoms of ATTR-CM can lead to a delayed diagnosis. Recognizing the diagnostic indicators is crucial to promptly detect this condition.

Causes of visual impairment and blindness among the middle-aged and elderly in northern Jordan.

Causes of bilateral low vision (BLLV) and bilateral blindness (BLB) were investigated among 720 outpatients aged > 45 years in Irbid, Jordan, between July 1999 and October 2000. All received full ophthalmic examinations. BLLV was defined as visual acuity < 6/18 but > 3/60 in the better eye; BLB as acuity < 3/60 in the better eye.

Outcome analysis of cirrhotic patients undergoing chest tube placement.

Objectives: Patients with cirrhosis can acquire pulmonary conditions that may or may not be related to their illness. Although posing a greater risk for complications, chest tubes are sometimes placed as treatment for hepatic hydrothorax and other pulmonary conditions. The aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes of chest tube placement in cirrhotic patients.
