Electrocardiographic, angiographic and clinical picture of acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation caused by simultaneous occlusion of right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery

Szczeponek P, Goebel M, Włodarczyk A, Królikowski Z, Gierlotka M. Electrocardiograpic, angiographic and clinical picture of acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation caused by simultaneous occlusion of right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery. Case Study Case Rep. 2018; 8(3): 64 - 68.

 

ABSTRACT                                                                                           

 

Acute myocardial infraction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) is most often caused by the occlusion of only one large epicardial artery. Simultaneous thrombosis of two or more coronary arteries is a rare cause of STEMI. In this article, the authors present a case of a 56-year-old man with STEMI who was diagnosed with simultaneous occlusion of the right coronary artery and the left anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery.

 

Keywords: acute myocardial infarction; STEMI; simultaneous thrombosis of two coronary arteries

Effect of gold nanoparticle on blood lipid profile test

Cheon K, Ozene N. Effect of gold nanoparticle on blood lipid profile test. Adv Lab Med Int. 2018; 8: 43 - 46.

ABSTRACT                                                                                           

Dyslipidemia is a common metabolic disorder that can be seen worldwide. To diagnose and monitor the problem, blood lipid profile test is necessary. Here, the authors report an observation on effect of nanoparticle on the blood lipid profile test result. A laboratory experiment was done in a medical laboratory. Totally 100 blood samples were used in this experiment. All samples are analyzed by the same clinical chemistry analyzer at the same laboratory condition. Each sample was separated into 2 parts; the first is added with a droplet of gold nanoparticle solution and the second part is not. It can be seen that there is a significant difference of lipid profile test results. In the present day, there are many new nanosubstance that human can expose daily. The interference effect of the nanoparticle on the lipid profile test should be recognized in the present era of emerging nanotechnology. The great concern should be raised when the new nanodrug is used. In fact, the new nanodrug relating to dysplipidemia such as fenofibrate nanoparticle tablet formulation is already used in clinical practice.

GLOMUS TYMPANICUM: A CASE REPORT

  

Akpalo T, Akharo S. Glomus tympanicum: a case report. Case Study Case Rep. 2018; 8(3): 55 - 58.

ABSTRACT

Glomus tympanicum is a rare tumor. It is classified as a rare tumor of auricular system but there is a high rate of recurrence. In this article, the authors present a case of a female patient with glomus tympanicum. The patient has experiences 4 times recurrence of tumor within 5 years after the first diagnosis.

ABSTRACT
The cardiac problem is a common clinical problem in medicine. The abnormal
electrocardiophysiology can be seen in any age group of patients and it is sometimes difficult
to diagnose. Here, the authors present a case of a female presenting with the repeated of
episode with unexplained etiology. The case was carefully physical examination checking
and the postural blood pressure alteration was observed. Further investigation showed that the
patient had abnormal electrocardiographic finding. The incomplete right bundle branch block
was observable in the present case.
Key words: syncope, postural, bundle branch block

ABSTRACT

In gynecology, endometriosis is an important pathological disorder that can be seen worldwide. It is considered an important public health problem for reproductive age women. Visceral endometriosis is a serious form of endometriosis. Thoracic endometriosis is kind of visceral endometriosis. In this report, the authors present and discuss on a case of a patient who had history of repeated spontaneous pneumothorax and finally gets the diagnosis of thoracic endometrisosis.

Radon in natural hot spring pools in Myanmar: overview

Sookaromdee P, Koko A. Radon in natural hot spring pools in Myanmar: overview. Adv Lab Med Int. 2018; 8: 40 - 42.

ABSTRACT                                                                                           

The radon is an important natural source of radiation on earth. The existence in the hot spring becomes an issue in environmental and public health concern. In this study, the authors summarize the existence of radon in hot spring pools in Myanmar, a tropical country in Indochina. Of the 5 studied hot springs, the contaminated level of radon is lower than acceptable cut-off level (range 20,000 to 150,000 becquerels m−3). The rate of hot spring that is considered safe from dangerous unacceptable high radon contamination is 100 %.

Severe hypokalemia caused by a traditional herbal remedy: a case report.

Coufal SM, Abe K. Severe hypokalemia caused by a traditional herbal remedy: a case report. Case Study Case Rep. 2018; 8(2): 44 - 46.

ABSTRACT

In Asia and Oceania, the traditional herbal remedy is widely used and accepted as a primary health care wisdom. Nevertheless, the problem of the uncontrolled non-standard remedy is usually seen. Here, the authors report a case study on severe hypokalemia caused by traditional herbal remedy. This report brings attention to recognize the possible problem of the traditional herbal remedies that exists in several countries.
