Ten-Year Long-Term Analysis of Mechanical and Biological Aortic Valve Replacement
CONCLUSION: After isolated AVR with MP and BP, 10-year long-term outcomes were comparable in the reported single-center cohort. MP can still be implanted safely without a disadvantage as regards long-term survival.PMID:35667381 | DOI:10.1055/s-0042-1744477

Long-term outcomes of mechanical versus biological valve prosthesis in native mitral valve infective endocarditis
Conclusion. The use of mechanical mitral valve prosthesis is associated with lower long-term mortality compared to the biological prosthesis in non-elder native mitral valve infective endocarditis patients. The routine choice of biological mitral valve prostheses for this patient group is not supported by the results.PMID:35652503 | DOI:10.1080/14017431.2022.2079712

Serratia marcescens Endocarditis: A Case Report and Literature Review
We describe a case of a patient that underwent aortic and mitral valve replacement for Streptococcus agalactiae endocarditis. Four months later, he was readmitted with an ischemic stroke and fever. Physical examination and repetitive transthoracic echocardiogram were unremarkable. The initial blood cultures were negative. Due to sustained fever, vancomycin, gentamicin and piperacillin-tazobactam were initiated. On subsequent blood cultures, Serratia marcescens was isolated and antibiotics switched to ertapenem and gentamicin. In addition to cerebral emboli, a splenic embolus was found. The PET/CT revealed an abnormal hyper...

230 Sydenhams chorea in an elderly patient
79 year old gentleman presented with multiple involuntary limb movements, initially referred to the acute medical unit as a seizure. After initial triage, he was managed as a dystonia. Patient was seen by ITU, and neurology opinion was requested. On consultant review, the ‘dancing type’ involuntary movements in limbs and in the face pointed towards a generalised chorea with mild athetosis of the left side, with expulsive speech. Patient also reported severe dental pain, and on examination, bloody ulcers and poor oral hygiene and dentition were noted. MRI showed acute small stroke of the left occipital area. Inf...
