Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is a rare but serious condition linked to cancer, leading to small pulmonary artery blockages and high mortality due to hemodynamic failure.
- A 46-year-old woman with a history of anaplastic oligoastrocytoma presented with symptoms, but her condition rapidly worsened, resulting in cardiac arrest.
- Despite initial stabilization using venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), she was later diagnosed with gastric cancer and ultimately died, highlighting the potential of VA-ECMO as a temporary support for patients experiencing PTTM.
Background: While the majority of adult-onset minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) is a primary or an idiopathic form of disease, it can also occur as a secondary form. Reports on the spontaneous remission of MCNS are rare since the condition is typically treated with corticosteroids. We herein describe the spontaneous remission of adult-onset MCNS in a patient who developed nephrotic syndrome after type B influenza infection.

Hyperchloremia is known to be able to reveal existing bromism, but the fact that bromine (Br(-)) influences chloride (Cl(-)) in assays that use ion electrode machines is not widely known.
Methods: We assayed samples by an ion electrode method, using four types of machines.
