- A young woman was diagnosed with a disseminated Yersinia enterocolitica infection, which presented as pseudoappendicitis, mesenteric lymph node involvement, joint pain, glomerulonephritis, and hepatitis.
- The diagnosis was confirmed using the Western Blot method to detect specific Yersinia antibodies.
- Additionally, the patient exhibited Sweet's syndrome, a rare skin condition linked to autoimmune responses following infections, highlighting unusual skin manifestations in Yersinia enterocolitica cases.
Background: The real incidence of atrial arrhythmia (AA) after patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure and whether this complication can be prevented remain unknown. We assessed whether flecainide is effective to prevent AA during the first 3 months after PFO closure, and whether 6 months of treatment with flecainide is more effective than 3 months to prevent AA after PFO closure.
Methods: AFLOAT (Assessment of Flecainide to Lower the Patent Foramen Ovale Closure Risk of Atrial Fibrillation or Tachycardia Trial) is a prospective, multicentre, randomized, open-label, superiority trial with a blind evaluation of all the end points (PROBE [Prospective Randomized Open, Blinded End Point] design).
Background/aim: Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction related to systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve is a common complication of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE). However, the mechanisms underlying SAM have not been fully characterized. The objective of the present study was to use three-dimensional echocardiography to identify anatomic features of the mitral valve that predispose to SAM during DSE.
