[more ▼] The occurrence of an acute myocardial infarction after non-penetrating chest trauma is an extremely rare complication. We report a case of dissection of the left anterior descending artery in a 43 year old man after being punched in the chest. Using data from a literature search relish revealed 76 cases; we review the characteristics of the pathology and its incidence. We also characterize its etiology, anatomy and path physiology. We then consider the diagnostic and therapeutic implications.

[more ▼] Asthma exacerbations constitute a common medical emergency, which in the past has been shown to be poorly managed. Although its management has recently improved, it remains suboptimal. For instance, acute life-threatening asthma is still responsible for 2000 death each year in France. More than two thirds of deaths should be avoided by a prompt and adjusted treatment. Initial assessment of the severity of the exacerbation is fundamental. The clinical story, physical examination and objective measurement of airflow obstruction by peak flow meter should permit to quickly establish an adapted treatment. The aim of this paper is, once general considerations about clinical approach and currently used treatments have been made, to propose a home and a hospital-based management of the asthma exacerbations.

[more ▼] Gemcitabine pulmonary toxicity is rare and represents a difficult diagnosis. A 61 year old female treated with gemcitabine for a metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) developed during the fifth chemotherapy cycle an acute respiratory distress syndrome with fever, tachypnea, marked hypoxemia and a diffuse interstitial-alveolar infiltrate on chest radiograph. No infectious or opportunistic etiology or cardiovascular disease was demonstrated. Withdrawal of gemcitabine and administration of corticosteroids led to symptomatic improvement. This acute pneumonitis was likely drug induced. [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 34 (0 ULg) |
