Endotoxin adsorption by polymyxin B column or intraaortic balloon pumping use for severe septic cardiomyopathy
Septic patients often have low cardiac output. Some of them present severe cardiac dysfunction such as septic cardiomyopathy. However, no well-known and effective treatment for septic cardiomyopathy exists. The effect of endotoxin adsorption by polymyxin B–immobilized fiber column–direct hemoperfusion (PMX-DHP) and intraaortic balloon pumping (IABP) for septic shock remains uncertain. We experienced 2 very contrastive case reports of severe septic cardiomyopathy. We experienced 2 cases of severe septic cardiomyopathy with refractory shock. Case 1 with colon perforation presented refractory shock 6 hours after PMX-DHP, ...

Fulminant Cerebral Infarction of Anterior and Posterior Cerebral Circulation after Ascending Type of Facial Necrotizing Fasciitis
Necrotizing fasciitis is a soft tissue infection that is characterized by extensive necrosis of the subcutaneous fat, neurovascular structures, and fascia. Cerebral infarction after facial necrotizing fasciitis has been rarely reported. A 61-year-old woman with diabetes was admitted with painful swelling of her right cheek. One day later, she was stuporous and quadriplegic. A computed tomographic scan of her face revealed right facial infection in the periorbital soft tissue, parotid, buccal muscle, and maxillary sinusitis. A computed tomographic scan of the brain revealed cerebral infarction in the right hemisphere, left ...
