Brugada phenocopy in fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis: a case series.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, Tsuyama Chuo Hospital, 1756 Kawasaki, Tsuyama, Okayama 708-0841, Japan.
Background: Brugada phenocopy (BrP) is a condition that induces reversible Brugada-like electrocardiographic (ECG) changes in patients without true Brugada syndrome. We present two cases of fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis that showed Type 1 Brugada ECG changes in the early phase of the clinical course.
Case Summary: Case 1 was a 76-year-old man who developed fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis with ventricular tachycardia while hospitalized for heart failure.

Brain cytotoxic edema is a neuroradiological sign secondary to variegate diseases ranging from migraine to fulminant Listeria rhombencephalitis. The tempestive identification of its underlying cause is vital for an effective treatment as any delay may be fatal. However, the lack of distinctive imaging biomarkers and the paucity of reports pose a significant challenge in its diagnosis and frequently lead to a misdiagnosis particularly with the more common acute ischemic stroke.

Article Synopsis
- Hypereosinophilia (HE) is characterized by an eosinophil count over 1500 cells/microL in blood tests, confirmed by either blood tests or high eosinophil percentages in bone marrow samples. Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) involves organ damage due to eosinophils and can be classified as primary, secondary, or idiopathic.
- Cardiac issues occur in 5% of acute cases and 20% of chronic cases of HES, presenting symptoms like heart failure and arrhythmias, but the severity of heart problems isn't always proportional to eosinophil levels.
- Diagnosis of cardiac involvement relies on advanced imaging techniques, particularly
Drug Acute Liver Failure in Children Caused by Anthelmintic Agents (Albendazole): Treatment Strategy.
Exp Clin Transplant
October 2024
From Batumi State University, Batumi, Georgia.
Objectives: Drug-induced liver injury accounts for numerous clinically significant events each year and can cause severe injury, resulting in a need for liver transplant or fatality. Liver injury triggered by albendazole is relatively common, resulting in mild to moderate changes in liver enzymes and affecting ~16% of patients who use this medication. Albendazole-induced liver injury and jaundice have been previously documented, but a case of fulminant hepatic failure requiring liver transplant has not yet been described.

Hospital-associated deconditioning is a broad term, which refers non-specifically to declines in any function of the body secondary to hospitalisation. Older people, particularly those living with frailty, are known to be at greatest risk. It has historically been most commonly used as a term to describe declines in muscle mass and function (i.
