Abstract

Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with high mortality if left untreated and is associated with many complications such as: septic emboli, abscesses, valvular rupture or congestive heart failure. We present below the case of a 69-year-old male who presented to the emergency room for exertional dyspnea, malaise and fatigue, symptoms that started for several months with progressive worsening. The cardiac examination highlighted a systolic murmur in the mitral area in concordance with the echocardiographic findings that revealed severe mitral regurgitation along with a degenerative-myxomatous appearance of the mitral valve, suggestive for Barlow’s disease, as well as a hyperechogenic mass on the mitral valve. Empirical therapy was initiated intravenously with vancomycin and gentamicin after three blood cultures were harvested. The blood cultures were positive for Staphylococcus (S.) epidermidis and given the antibiogram’s susceptibility to vancomycin and daptomycin, the treatment was subsequently continued only with vancomycin. Albeit coagulase negative staphylococci such as S. epidermidis are usually found at patients with risk factors: valvular prostheses, implantable devices, hemodialysis or intravascular catheters, in our case the patient had no such risk factors, but instead developed IE on a native, degenerated valve. The patient was referred to the cardiovascular surgeon and subsequently, a prosthetic, bidisc mitral valve was implanted along with tricuspid annuloplasty. The recovery was uneventful and at 6 months of follow-up the patient was asymptomatic with no complications.

Abstract

Ischemic heart disease is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Revascularization of coronary stenosis inducing ischemia, either by percutaneous or surgical intervention, significantly reduces major adverse cardiovascular events and improves quality of life. However, in cases of intermediate lesions, classified by a diameter stenosis between 50 and 90% by European guidelines and 40–70% in American counterparts with no clear evidence of ischemia, the indication of revascularization and impact is determined using various methods that altogether comprehensively evaluate the lesions. This review will discuss the various techniques to assess intermediate stenoses, highlighting indications and advantages, but also drawbacks. Fractional flow rate (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are the gold standard for the functional evaluation of intermediate lesions, but there are clinical circumstances in which these pressure-wire-derived indices are not accurate. Complementary invasive investigations, mainly intravascular ultrasound and/or optical coherence tomography, offer parameters that can be correlated with FFR/iFR and additional insights into the morphology of the plaque guiding the eventual percutaneous intervention in terms of length and size of stents, thus improving the outcomes of the procedure. The development of artificial intelligence and machine learning with advanced algorithms of prediction will offer multiple scenarios for treatment, allowing real-time selection of the best strategy for revascularization.

Abstract

The knowledge about the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) discovered almost 40 years ago and the related disease has known a paramount evolution, from an almost deadly infection to a chronic, controlled one. Many insights into the molecular, pathophysiology and medical management of this infection have been made over time. The discoveries around HIV infection have brought progress also in other fields, such as immunodeficiency related infections and drug resistance. Even with the advances made in the field of HIV, many aspects have not been discovered: an efficient vaccine, treatment which can induce a cure or the ideal prevention method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

35. Endocardita cu Streptococcus gallolyticus și riscul de cancer colorectal - o lecţie de învăţat.

Author

Popa-Fotea, Nicoleta-Monica

Abstract

The association between endocarditis with Streptococcus gallolyticus and the development of colorectal cancer is well known, making the endoscopic surveillance at least annually mandatory for patients with this type of endocarditis or bacteraemia. If the link between these two is recognized, the role the bacteria as the promotor of neoplasia is still uncertain and sometimes called into question, whereas many hypotheses have been proposed.
