Cardiac Abnormalities in Hypereosinophilic Syndromes.
Arq Bras Cardiol
October 2024
Instituto do Coração do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, SP - Brasil.
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
Sternotomy and extracorporal circulation for fulminant Budd-Chiari syndrome due to leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava.

November 2024
Breast Cancer Center, Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology, Gliwice, 44-102, Poland.
Background: Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare and severe vascular liver disease. We presented patient with fulminant liver failure secondary to leiomyosarcoma of the IVC and thrombosis.
Case Presentation: A 44-year-old female presented with fulminant liver failure secondary to inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis.
A Novel Preoperative Classification System for Selecting Suitable Surgeries in Liver Transplant Patients with Portal Vein Cavernous Transformation.
J Invest Surg
December 2024
Hepatopancreatobiliary Center, Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, School of Clinical Medicine, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
Background: To evaluate the new preoperative Changgung classification (CC) system of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in choosing suitable operative procedures to reconstruct portal veins during liver transplantation (LT) in patients with portal vein cavernous transformation (PVCT).
Methods: This retrospective observational study analyzed data from allograft LTs performed for various liver diseases.
Results: The study included 22 males and 4 females with LT indications comprising cirrhosis ( = 9), hepatocellular carcinoma ( = 12), PVCT ( = 2), liver failure from fulminant hepatitis B ( = 1), dysfunction of transplanted liver ( = 1), and chronic rejection of transplanted liver ( = 1).
Prediction of Thrombus Formation within an Oxygenator via Bioimpedance Analysis.
Biosensors (Basel)
October 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, Medical Faculty, University Hospital RWTH Aachen, Pauwelsstraße 30, 52074 Aachen, Germany.
Blood clot formation inside the membrane oxygenator (MO) remains a risk in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). It is associated with thromboembolic complications and normally detectable only at an advanced stage. Established clinical monitoring techniques lack predictive capabilities, emphasizing the need for refinement in MO monitoring towards an early warning system.

September 2024
Department of Radiology, Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Secunderabad, Telangana, India.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the rise of invasive fungal sinusitis, particularly mucormycosis, in post-COVID-19 patients in India, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis through neuroimaging to improve survival rates.
- - Researchers analyzed MR imaging from 91 confirmed cases, finding that over half of the patients (51.6%) had advanced disease with intracranial spread, with significant complications such as cavernous sinus involvement and osteomyelitis.
- - The results showed that unlike non-COVID-19 cases, there were no instances of certain severe complications like thrombosis in the studied COVID-19-associated cases, emphasizing unique patterns in disease manifestation.
