The rupture of the inter-ventricular septum is a rare, but extremely severe mechanical complication of the acute myocardial infarction, which in most cases of no immediate surgery is fatal (30 days death rate – 80%). The incidence of the septum ventricular defect post-acute myocardial infarction was 1-3% in the period before crash injury therapy, dropping to 0.2% after introducing the thrombolytic treatment. The acute mitral failure and the septum ventricular defect are two mechanical complications of the acute myocardial infarction associated with high death rate, regardless of the progress made in medical and surgery therapeutic approach. This paper highlights the peculiarities of a clinical case like the acute myocardial infarction as the first manifestation of heart disease in a patient with no history of cardiovascular disease but with risk factors (obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension), the ECG evident changes in the anterior territory and more discrete in the inferior territory, which established the initial diagnosis to be myocardial infarction and the presence of two mechanical threatening complications: ventricular septal flaw and acute mitral failure through posterior papillary muscle incomplete rupture.
Colo-rectal cancer is one of the major mortality causes in the world, with an increased frequency in western countries, which are better developed economically. Romanian statistics show that the frequency of this type of cancer is increasing rapidly. In the year 2000, all over the world there were approximately 1 million new cases of colo-rectal cancer, and over 500 thousands deaths, thus affecting 1 from 20 inhabitants from the developed countries and being the second main cancer death cause, at both sexes in Europe. In Romania, incidence and mortality have doubled in the last 20 years, reaching a 17.74/ 100000 inhabitants incidence in the year 2000. Both for men and women, this disease is on the 3rd place in Romania, after bronho-pulmonary cancer and gastric (for men) and breast and uterus cancer, respectively. This paper has as purpose obtaining data about the frequency of colo-rectal cancer in recent years, and the repartition of this data on years, sex, age, environment, complications and other particularities. To reach this purpose we have done a retrospective study on patients that were admitted during 2010-2014 in the surgical clinic, medical clinic and oncology section from the Constanta Emergency County hospital, with colo-rectal neoplasm as a diagnosis.
Acute pancreatitis represents the acute inflammatory process of the pancreas which can remain localized in the gland or could extend in the tissues around the pancreas or retroperitoneal tissues and also at the organs from the pancreatic lodge. The diagnosis is usually based on the increase in pancreas volume and on the changes in structure objected on the ultrasound examination. It is characterised by a “release” of enzymes out of the pancreatic ducts associated with oedema and necrosis in the parenchyma and in the retroperitoneal area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
