Unlabelled: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Left atrial strain (LAS) has prognostic value in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Consequently, therapies that improve LAS may help reduce AF-related adverse cardiac events. We aimed to compare how digoxin and bisoprolol modulate LAS in patients with AF being treated with rate control.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Rickettsial disease has been commonly associated with retinitis, retinal vasculitis, and optic nerve involvement, but the development of retinal neovascularization has been very rarely reported. We herein describe a case of rickettsial retinitis complicated with the development of sea-fan retinal neovascularization documented with multimodal imaging, including fundus photography, SS-OCT, fluorescein angiography, and SS-OCT angiography.
Case Presentation: A 26-year-old female with a history of fever one week earlier presented with sudden decreased vision in the left eye.
Background: In Tunisia, the number of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) is increasing, owing to the increase in patient life expectancy and expanding indications. Despite their life-saving potential and a significant reduction in population morbidity and mortality, their increased numbers have been associated with the development of multiple early and late complications related to vascular access, pockets, leads, or patient characteristics.
Objective: The study aims to identify the rate, type, and predictors of complications occurring within the first year after CIED implantation.
Introduction And Importance: Ovarian cavernous hemangioma is a rare benign vascular tumor primarily found as either an isolated ovarian mass or as diffuse abdominopelvic hemangiomatosis. Its discovery is often incidental, but symptomatic presentations can occur, including ovarian torsion, can occur without any specification.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 55-year-old menopausal woman with chronic pelvic pain.
