Background: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with adverse prognosis in various patient populations, but currently no data is available about the prevalence and prognostic implication of TR in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.
Objectives: To investigate the possible implication of TR among STEMI patients.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and its relation to major clinical and echocardiographic parameters.

Background: Information on the cardiac manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is scarce. We performed a systematic and comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation of consecutive patients hospitalized with COVID-19 infection.
Methods: One hundred consecutive patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection underwent complete echocardiographic evaluation within 24 hours of admission and were compared with reference values.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with aortic stenosis, particularly those with mid-range ejection fraction (ASmrEF), compared to those with reduced (ASrEF) and preserved (ASpEF) ejection fractions.
- Findings showed that ASmrEF patients experienced significant improvement in ejection fraction and left ventricular dimensions one year after the procedure, while ASrEF patients also improved but ASpEF patients did not show any change.
- All groups had similar procedural safety and success rates, and long-term survival rates over five years were consistent across groups, indicating TAVI is a safe and effective option for patients with mid-range ejection fraction.
Introduction: The ratio of contrast media volume to glomerular filtration rate (contrast/GFR) has been shown to correlate with the occurrence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in unselected patient populations who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Objective: We evaluated the possible utilization of this marker and optimal cutoff among ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary PCI.
Methods: We retrospectively included 419 patients with STEMI treated with primary PCI.
Aims: Asses the added value of quantitative evaluation of tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the proper cut-off value for severe TR and 'torrential TR' based on outcome data. The added value of quantitative evaluation of TR, and the cut-off values associated with increased mortality are unknown.
Methods And Results: In patients with all-cause TR assessed both qualitatively and quantitatively by proximal iso-velocity surface area method, long-term and 1-year outcome analysis was conducted.
Objectives: The presence of anti-Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB antibodies has been linked with autoimmunity in general and with several autoimmune diseases (AID) in particular. In the current study we evaluated these antibodies in a wide spectrum of AID as well as the links between them and anti-infectious antibodies.
Methods: We examined 2082 sera from patients with 16 different AID compared to 524 sera from geographically-matched healthy controls, for the presence and titres of anti-Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB.
Eosinophilic pneumonia following occupational smoke exposure.
Eur J Case Rep Intern Med
September 2016
Unlabelled: A 21-year-old male patient with a history of occupational exposure to open fire smoke was initially treated with empiric antibiotics for simple community-acquired pneumonia. However, he continued to deteriorate rapidly, developed respiratory failure and needed mechanical ventilation. After possible aetiologies were considered, acute eosinophilic pneumonia was suspected and confirmed by broncho-alveolar lavage.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSjögren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by progressive injury to exocrine glands accompanied by diverse extra-glandular manifestations. The spectrum of Sjögren's manifestations expanded in recent years to include new symptoms and signs such as small fibre neuropathy, and also well-defined activity and prognostic indexes. Similar to other non-organ-specific autoimmune diseases, a mosaic of factors have been linked with the development and appearances of Sjögren's syndrome.
