Published: January 1994

A 49-year-old patient suffering from recurrent effort lipothymia and palpitation was referred for cardiac catheterization. A diagnosis of marked hypertrophy of right ventricular outflow tract and double chamber right ventricle with intraventricular gradient of 50 mm Hg was made. Operation was delayed until age 49 when an anomalous intraventricular hypertrophic band was resected. The first 2D and Doppler echocardiogram after operation disclosed a previously unrecognised intraventricular septal defect. Three years after operation the patient is asymptomatic.

Seldom are reports of phase 4 block or bradycardia-dependent conduction block in atrial tissue found in the literature. Here, we describe the case of a patient with sick sinus syndrome with Torsade de Pointes who, following the implantation of a double-chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator, developed intra-atrial bradycardia-dependent conduction block. The patient's optimal pacing parameters were achieved by raising the rate.

To investigate the stability of a super-large section chamber group, an analysis was conducted based on the in-situ geological conditions of a super-large section chamber group utilized as a coal gangue separation system at the Longgu Coal Mine. Field measurement and numerical simulation were employed to analyze the failure area and stress state of the surrounding rock under varying chamber spacings. The results indicate that the extent of the plastic zone significantly expands when the spacing between chambers is less than 2.

Rationale: Cystic dilatation of the bulbourethral gland duct (Cowper's syringocele, CS) is a rare urethral pathology. No more than 150 cases of CS have been reported in the literature, of which the vast majority are children with a unilateral location. Bilateral CS has been reported in eight cases; however, detailed anatomy and clinical manifestations have not been reported.

Article Synopsis
  • A 76-year-old patient with a complex medical history, including Type 2 diabetes, heart failure, and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, was admitted for bronchopneumopathy after previously undergoing pacemaker lead replacement.
  • The patient's condition worsened rapidly after admission, leading to hypercalcemia, which required intensive hydration and hemodialysis before further tests were conducted.
  • Imaging studies revealed peritoneal carcinosis and lymphadenopathy, and a biopsy confirmed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; unfortunately, treatment was not successful, resulting in the patient's death.
