Stroke-like lesions in mitochondrial disease may resemble ischemic stroke
J Family Med Prim Care. 2021 Aug;10(8):3151-3153. doi: 10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_2314_20. Epub 2021 Aug 27.ABSTRACTThe patient is a 73-y-male who was referred after a fall without losing consciousness or secessus. Clinical exam revealed disorientation, ophthalmoparesis, hemianopia to the left, left hemineglect, hypoacusis, quadruparesis, general wasting, generally reduced tendon reflexes, mild rigor, occasional myoclonic jerks of the right lower limb, and ataxia of the left lower limb. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a stroke-like lesion (SLL), generalized atrophy, white matter lesions, and ponsgliosis. The prev...

Physical inactivity and non-communicable disease burden in low-income, middle-income and high-income countries
CONCLUSION: The global burden associated with physical inactivity is substantial. The relative burden is greatest in high-income countries; however, the greatest number of people (absolute burden) affected by physical inactivity are living in middle-income countries given the size of their populations.PMID:33782046 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2020-103640

Dysphagia: Evaluation and Collaborative Management.
Abstract Dysphagia is common but may be underreported. Specific symptoms, rather than their perceived location, should guide the initial evaluation and imaging. Obstructive symptoms that seem to originate in the throat or neck may actually be caused by distal esophageal lesions. Oropharyngeal dysphagia manifests as difficulty initiating swallowing, coughing, choking, or aspiration, and it is most commonly caused by chronic neurologic conditions such as stroke, Parkinson disease, or dementia. Symptoms should be thoroughly evaluated because of the risk of aspiration. Patients with esophageal dysphagia may report a s...

Outcomes of Combined Antegrade –Retrograde Dilations for Radiation-Induced Esophageal Strictures in Head and Neck Cancer Patients
AbstractThe purpose of this study is to analyze outcomes of combined antegrade –retrograde dilations (CARD). This retrospective study was conducted on 14 patients with a history of head and neck cancer, treated with radiation therapy that was complicated by either complete or near-complete esophageal stenosis. All patients had minimal oral intake and depended on a gastrostom y tube for nutrition. Swallow function before and after CARD was assessed using the Functional Oral Intake Scale, originally developed for stroke patients and applied to head and neck cancer patients. Patients undergoing CARD demonstrated a quantifia...

Postoperative hemodynamic changes for predicting anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer using the FloTrac system.
Discussion: The hemodynamic change by employing the FloTrac system could predicts the complication of anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy. Adequate management of hemodynamic stability by utilizing it will reduce the complications of anastomotic leakage. J. Med. Invest. 67 : 240-245, August, 2020. PMID: 33148895 [PubMed - in process]

Tumor Embolism Through Right-to-Left Shunt Due to Venous Invasion of Esophageal Carcinoma
A 69-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with right hemiparesis and global aphasia. Perfusion computed tomography imaging revealed ischemic penumbra in the middle cerebral artery territory. Angiography showed left middle cerebral artery occlusion. Mechanical thrombectomy with one pass was performed, and successful recanalization was obtained. Embolic material was retrieved; it contained tumor fragments with atypical keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma. Contrast computed tomography imaging indicated tumor invasion into the superior vena cava, and contrast transcranial Doppler indicated the presence of a right-to-left...

Medium and long-term risks of specific cardiovascular diseases in survivors of 20 adult cancers: a population-based cohort study using multiple linked UK electronic health records databases
In this study, we used large-scale electronic health records data from multiple linked UK databases to address these evidence gaps.MethodsFor this population-based cohort study, we used linked primary care, hospital, and cancer registry data from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink to identify cohorts of survivors of the 20 most common cancers who were 18 years or older and alive 12 months after diagnosis and controls without history of cancer, matched for age, sex, and general practice. We compared risks for a range of cardiovascular disease outcomes using crude and adjusted Cox models. We fitted interactions to in...

Tea Consumption and Health Outcomes: Umbrella Review of Meta ‐Analyses of Observational Studies in Humans
ConclusionTea consumption, except for very hot tea, seems generally safe at usual levels of intake, with summary estimates indicating the largest reduction for diverse health outcomes at two to three cups per day. Generally, tea consumption seems more beneficial than harmful in this umbrella review. Randomized controlled trials are further needed to understand whether the observed associations are causal.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
