AI Article Synopsis
- Giant cell myocarditis (GCM) and cardiac sarcoidosis have similar symptoms and tissue characteristics, leading to questions about their relationship on the inflammatory cardiomyopathy spectrum.
- The case involves a patient who experienced cardiogenic shock linked to GCM, confirmed by biopsy.
- After a heart transplant, the patient was diagnosed with sarcoidosis using 18-fluorodeoxyglucose PET imaging and another biopsy.
Article Abstract
Giant cell myocarditis (GCM) and cardiac sarcoidosis share clinical and histologic features, but whether they represent separate processes or lie on an inflammatory cardiomyopathy spectrum is unclear. We present a case of cardiogenic shock thought to be secondary to biopsy-proven GCM with a subsequent post-transplant diagnosis of sarcoidosis through 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and biopsy.

Clinical, laboratory, and orbital imaging features of giant cell arteritis in comparison to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropath: a single center case series.

Background: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common vasculitis in patients older than 50 years and is considered a "do not miss" diagnosis. However, it remains a diagnostic challenge given overlapping clinical syndromes such as non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and poorly explored imaging findings.
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study between the time period of January 2013 and December 2021, a total of 13 consecutive patients with a pathological diagnosis of GCA and 8 patients with clinical diagnosis of NAION were isolated.
Magnetotactic bacteria from diverse Pseudomonadota families biomineralize intracellular Ca-carbonate.

Intracellular calcium carbonate formation has long been associated with a single genus of giant Gammaproteobacteria, Achromatium. However, this biomineralization has recently received increasing attention after being observed in photosynthetic Cyanobacteriota and in two families of magnetotactic bacteria affiliated with the Alphaproteobacteria. In the latter group, bacteria form not only intracellular amorphous calcium carbonates into large inclusions that are refringent under the light microscope, but also intracellular ferrimagnetic crystals into organelles called magnetosomes.

Objectives: To compare mortality rates between GCA patients and the general population in Spain, and to identify associated factors influencing mortality.
Methods: ARTESER, a multicenter registry by the Spanish Society of Rheumatology, includes GCA patients from June 2013 to March 2019. Demographic, clinical, imaging, histological and mortality data were collected retrospectively.

Cutaneous malignant melanoma (MM) is the most aggressive form of skin cancer, associated with high mortality and rising incidence rates in Europe despite prevention efforts. Nodular MM, the most aggressive subtype, often mimics other skin tumors, complicating diagnosis. We present the case of a 66-year-old woman with a large, ulcerated tumor beneath the left scapula, along with multiple nodular lesions on the left arm and chest.
