Paradoxical coronary embolism in Erdheim-Chester disease: invasive assessment and multidisciplinary management.

We report a case of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction in a 36-year-old man with Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD). Multimodality assessment revealed acute coronary thrombus with simultaneous recurrent pulmonary embolism in spite of compliance with a direct oral anticoagulant. Prior case reports of acute myocardial infarction in this population have not outlined the role of catheter based intravascular assessment and treatment in this rare clinical entity.

Enhancing Aesthetics in Bilateral DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: the Role of Tissue Pre-Expansion.

Background: Achieving symmetrical outcomes in bilateral autologous breast reconstruction is challenging, particularly in cases of asymmetrical recipient sites. Tissue pre-expansion is proposed to improve aesthetics by enlarging the skin envelope for refined breast shaping. This study examines its efficacy in bilateral DIEP flap reconstructions.

Diazoxide-Responsive Hypoglycemia in a Child Receiving Dasatinib for Treatment of B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are being used more regularly in treatment regimens for pediatric cancers. They have distinct side effect profiles, including endocrinopathies. Here we present a 2-year-old boy with Philadelphia chromosome-like (Ph-like) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who developed refractory hypoglycemia after using dasatinib.
