A Rare Case of Rhabdomyolysis.

Rhabdomyolysis is a pathological condition presenting with symptoms of localized or generalized myalgia and weakness, associated with an increase in serum creatine kinase level and, often leading to myoglobinuria and acute kidney injury. It has a wide range of etiologies. Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a rare type of inflammatory myopathy, that leads to rhabdomyolysis, and it is divided into three different subtypes: anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coA reductase (anti-HMGCR, anti-signal recognition particle (anti-SRP), and seronegative.

Epipericardial fat necrosis as a differential diagnosis of chest pain-A case report.

Epipericardial fat necrosis (EFN) is an uncommon self-limiting benign condition that can present with substantial chest pain. We present a case of an otherwise healthy 42-year-old man who presented with severe chest pain in the emergency department. Initial cardiopulmonary workup was unrevealing.

Acquired von Willebrand Syndrome and Chronic Anaemia: A Different Diagnostic Approach.

Unlabelled: Heyde's syndrome is a form of acquired von Willebrand syndrome that consists of bleeding from intestinal angiodysplasia in the presence of aortic stenosis (AS). An association with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, rather than AS, by a similar mechanism has also been described. We report the case of a 78-year-old woman with chronic anaemia and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy in whom intestinal angiodysplasia with active bleeding was identified by an unconventional method.

Foodborne Botulism: Neglected Diagnosis.

Unlabelled: Botulism is rare neuroparalytic disease caused by botulinum toxin, one of the most toxic substances known. Foodborne botulism is caused by consumption of foods contaminated with botulinum toxin. The clinical manifestations are flaccid, symmetrical, descending paralysis affecting cranial and peripheral nerves.
