Quadri-chamber cardiac thrombi in alcoholic cardiomyopathy: a rare though ominous finding
We report a case of alcoholic cardiomyopathy with an alarming finding of thrombi in all cardiac chambers. Echocardiographic evidence of quadri-chamber intracardiac thrombi has rarely been described in the literature. Case A 48-year-old man with history of chronic alcoholism presented with progressive breathlessness of 1 year's duration. Cardiovascular examination showed sinus tachycardia and evidence of congestive cardiac failure. A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed dilated cardiac chambers, severe biventricular global dysfunction with an alarming finding of thrombi...

Vascular Risk Factors, Cardiovascular Disease, and Restless Legs Syndrome in Women
Conclusions: In this large cohort of female health professionals, various vascular risk factors are associated with the prevalence of restless legs syndrome. We could not confirm the results of previous reports indicating an association between prevalent cardiovascular disease and restless legs syndrome.

Vascular Risk Factors, Cardiovascular Disease, and Restless Legs Syndrome in Men
Conclusions: The restless legs syndrome prevalence among US male physicians is similar to that of men of the same age group in other western countries. A history of diabetes is the most consistent risk factor associated with restless legs syndrome. Prevalent stroke and myocardial infarction are related to restless legs syndrome prevalence.

How accurate are self-reported pensions and benefits? A population based validation study: the Nord-Trlatin small letter o with strokendelag health study (HUNT)
Background: Measures of disability pensions, sickness certification and long-term health related benefits are often self-reported in epidemiological studies. Few studies have examined these measures, and the validity is yet to be established.We aimed to estimate the validity of self-reported disability pension, rehabilitation benefit and retirement pension and to explore the benefit status and basic characteristics of those not responding to these items.A large health survey (HUNT2) containing self-reported questionnaire data on sickness benefits and pensions was linked to a national registry of pensions and benefits, used...

Sudden bilateral anterior cerebral infarction: unusual stroke associated with unusual vascular anomalies
We describe a 38-year-old male smoker and heavy alcohol user, who awoke with sudden onset of weakness of both lower limbs, and bladder and bowel incontinence. He had consumed excessive amounts of alcohol the previous night. There was no significant past medical history including other vascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease. On admission, he was mute and abulic. The frontal release signs including the forced grasping and the snout reflex were present. Routine full blood count and biochemical analysis were normal. MRI of the brain showed bilateral, nearly symmetrical ACA infarction (figure 1A–C). Time-of-flig...
