In children younger than 4-year old with positive TST and normal CXR, it would be advisable to perform a TCT since the findings could change the diagnosis from TBI to TB disease.
The prevalence of atopic eczema is similar to that found in other studies within ISAAC Phase I. The most important risk factors for atopic eczema are family and personal history of other atopic diseases and the presence of fungi in the home.
This is a case of phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) with unexpected but complete resolution of symptoms with short-term administration of heparin products, despite falling into category IIb according to the Rutherford limb ischemia scale, which regularly requires aggressive surgical intervention.We present a case of a 58-year-old Hispanic female with a past medical history of gastritis who arrived at the emergency room (ER) with acute onset severe pain on the left leg associated with discoloration of the leg. The patient was quickly diagnosed with PCD affecting the left lower extremity, which quickly resolved after administration of heparin infusion for one hour, despite the degree of limb ischemia.There is no consensus for the treatment of this condition. The most interesting feature of this case is the prompt resolution of symptoms with short-term administration of anticoagulation with total resolution without the need for thrombolysis or thrombectomy. This may suggest that prompt pharmacologic treatment in patients eligible for anticoagulation may successfully restore venous flow negating the need for further intervention.
In psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder,
several medication classes are beneficial. There is not enough evidence
of the effect of aripiprazole on heart rate (HR) and how it causes
bradycardia, to the best of our knowledge there are only 2 cases of
aripiprazole related to bradycardia/syncope
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.
