Left ventricular global longitudinal strain imaging in identifying subclinical myocardial dysfunction among covid-19 survivors.

Background: Covid-19 is multi-system viral infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus. Apart from having acute severe respiratory illness causing high mortality, the disease also has a variety of cardiovascular manifestations contributing to morbidity as well as mortality. Cardiac dysfunction and myocarditis are well established complications of Covid-19 as evident in multiple studies after the Covid-19 pandemic.

A Rare Case of Mediastinal Non-seminomatous Germ Cell Tumour with Acute Megakaryocytic Leukaemia.

The most common extragonadal site of Nonseminomatous Germ Cell Tumours is the mediastinum. These are similar to their gonadal counterparts in histology but have a poorer prognosis. The association of mediastinal germ cell tumours with blood borne malignancies has been established in many case reports.

Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder.

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) are life-threatening complications of solid-organ transplantation and bone marrow transplantation leading to a high mortality. PTLD represents a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative diseases. They become clinically relevant because of the expansion of transplantation medicine together with the development of potent immunosuppressive drugs associated now with long survival.

Paraneoplastic Inverse Myasthenic Syndrome as a Presentation of Bronchogenic Carcinoma.

Tumours may produce growth factors and cytokines responsible for signs and symptoms distant to the primary or metastatic site. This may be the first sign of a malignancy and its recognition may be critical for early cancer detection. Moreover, proper diagnosis spares the patient of extensive and expensive search for an alternate cause of the neurological dysfunction.
