An Old Man with Unusual Precordial Pain

Abstract

We describe an interesting case of unusual origin of precordial pain. A 75-year-old man was admitted to theEmergency Room of José Frota Institute, Fortaleza city, Brazil, because of precordial pain and malaise, three daysafter eating a bread. Physical examination was unremarkable. The electrocardiogram showed diffuse upward STsegment.A chest radiography showed a foreign body (a pin) in the topography of the esophagus. Esophagoscopywas performed and the pin was removed, with improvement of the patient.Keywords: Precordial pain; Pericarditis; Foreign body; Esophageal trauma; Electrocardiogram; EsophagoscopyDOI: 10.3329/jom.v11i2.5474J MEDICINE 2010; 11 : 200-201

Surface and incorporated liming effects on clay dispersion, water availability, and aeration capacity of a Dystrudept soil

“…It is important to emphasize that in this study the increase in BD did not influence Ma reduction, such as it is usually observed (Silva et al 2014;Auler et al 2017). This behavior might be a consequence of biopores formation, influenced by the increase in the earthworm activity or at root growth conditioned by liming (Caires et al 2008;Joris et al 2013;Auler et al 2017).…”

“…That result might be explained due to the importance of the macropores for the soil aeration (Silva et al 2014).…”
