Cílem našeho sdělení je demonstrace pacienta, který si intramuskulární aplikací preparátu obsahujícího steroidy s příměsí vitaminu D navodil intoxikaci vitaminem D (1583 nmol/l) s hyperkalcémií (4,04 mmol/l) a iritací pankreatu (sérová amyláza 8,43 μkat/l)., The aim of this paper is to demonstrate a patient who induced vitamin D intoxication (1583 nmol/l) with hypercalcemia (4.04 mmol/l) and pancreatic irritation (serum amylase 8.43 μkat/l) by intramuscular application of steroids with the addition of vitamin D., Bučková D., Tůmová J., Beňovská M., Vlašínová J., and Literatura
Autoři prezentují případ intramuskulárně lokalizovaného hemangiomu v podpaží u tříletého dítěte s náhle vzniklou poruchou hybnosti levé horní končetiny. Předmětem diskuse je přínos zobrazovacích metod v odlišení od jiných měkko tkáňových lézí, zejména sarkomů. Hlavním cílem práce je upozornit na podobnost různých měkkotkáňových lézí v zobrazovacích metodách a nezbytnost histologického vyšetření ke stanovení správné diagnózy., The authors present a case of intramuscular hemangioma localized in the armpit of a three-years old child with sudden onset movement disorders left upper extremity. The discussion is the contribution of imaging in the differentiation from other soft tissue lesions, particularly sarcomas. The main goal is to draw attention to the similarity of different soft tissue lesions in imaging methods and the need for histological examination to establish the correct diagnosis., Červinková I, Skotáková J, Pavlovský Z., and Literatura
We assessed the intensive care unit (ICU) patients for Invasive aspergillosis (IA) with culture and non-culture based diagnostic methods from Iran. Thirty-six ICU patients with underlying predisposing conditions for IA were enrolled in the study. Sixty eight Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples were collected by bronchoscope twice a weekly. BAL samples were analyzed by microscopic examination, fungal culture and galactomannan (GM) detection. The Platelia Aspergillus GM EIA was used to quantify GM indices. Samples with a BAL GM index > or = 1 were considered as positive for GM. Patients were classified as having probable or possible IA. Out of 36 suspected patients to IA, 36.1% of cases showed IA which were categorized as: 4 cases of possible IA and 9 of probable IA. 76.2% of BAL samples were positive for GM. From 13 patients with IA, 11 (84.6%) had at least one positive BAL GM index. Of these patients, 9 (81.8%) showed probable IA. The main underlying predisposing conditions were neutropenia (53.8%) and COPD (30.8%). Our study has indicated that COPD must be considered as one of the main predisposing condition for occurrence of aspergillosis in ICU patients. Our data have also revealed that GM detection in BAL samples play a significant role to IA diagnosis. and MT. Hedayati, S. Khodavaisy, M. Alialy, SM. Omran, MR. Habibi
