It is often preceded by intense emotional or physical illness stressors. This case describes a 65-year-old female patient who likely developed takotsubo cardiomyopathy precipitated by the st...

Mediastinal Mass, Cancer, or Infection, Atypical Paraesophageal Actinomycosis Infection, Clinical and Surgical Approach
Am Surg. 2023 Nov 27:31348231211039. doi: 10.1177/00031348231211039. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTActinomyces israelii (AI) is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that lives commensally on and within humans as a typical colonizer within the gastrointestinal tract, including the mouth. As an opportunistic pathogen, infection often results from tissue injury or breach of the mucosal barrier (ie, during various dental or GI procedures, aspiration, or specific pathologies such as diverticulitis). Symptoms generally present slowly as a non-tender, indurated mass that evolves into multiple abscesses, fistulae, or draining sin...

The Prevalence and Characteristics of Symptomatic Uncomplicated Diverticular Disease Among Asian Patients With Unexplained Abdominal Symptoms
CONCLUSIONS: It is important to recognize that patients with SUDD account for as high as 31% of outpatients with unexplained abdominal symptoms; these patients have diarrhea and a low QOL. The presence of right-sided SUDD was characteristic of Asian patients.PMID:38012092 | DOI:10.5056/jnm22162 (Source: Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility)
