Right Ventricular Free Wall Rupture Due to Displaced Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD) Lead.

The implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) carries a risk for major complications, one of which is ventricular free wall rupture secondary to a lead perforation. This known complication, although rare, has estimated incidence rates between 0.1% and 3%.

Disseminated Miliary and Intestinal Tuberculosis Mimicking Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

The hematogenous dissemination of () is commonly via the pulmonary system. Less commonly, ingestion of can lead to primary intestinal tuberculosis (TB), often misdiagnosed as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In extremely rare cases, the dissemination can involve cardiac infiltration/tuberculoma.

Minimally Invasive and Conservative Interventions for the Treatment of Sacroiliac Joint Pain: A Review of Recent Literature.

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is responsible for approximately a third of reported back pain. Patients with SIJ pain report some of the lowest quality of life scores of any chronic disease. Understanding of the physiology and pathology of the SI joint has changed dramatically over the years, and SI joint pain and injury can now be thought of in two broad categories: traumatic and atraumatic.

Minimally Invasive and Conservative Interventions for the Treatment of Sacroiliac Joint Pain: A Review of Recent Literature.

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is responsible for approximately 15-25% of reported back pain. Patients with SIJ pain report some of the lowest quality of life scores of any chronic disease. Understanding of the physiology and pathology of the SI joint has changed dramatically over the years, and SI joint pain and injury can now be thought of in two broad categories: traumatic and atraumatic.
