“…6 Despite the advances of surgical assistance, mortality remains high (25 -87%). 7 Patients often have total coronary occlusion responsible for the ischemic event, suggesting that the mechanism involves a sudden and severe ischemic event, leading to extensive tissue necrosis. 4 Reperfusion, especially if initiated early, is able to prevent myocardial necrosis that is typically associated with septal complications (40%).…”

“…In spite of the rapid and complete diagnostics and application of the specific treatment to an individual patient i.e. percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), a high incidence of death occurs [10,12]. Mitral regurgitation is a common complication of myocardial infarction, resulting from myocardial remodeling, displacement or rupture of the anterior, posterior or septal papillary muscle and tendinous chords that connect the muscle to the valve leaflets, limiting their closure [13].…”

Mikroskopowe zapalenie jelita grubego to częsta przyczyna przewlekłej biegunki niewiadomego pochodzenia. Choroba charakteryzuje się obecnością objawów klinicznych, makroskopowo prawidłowym wyglądem błony śluzowej jelita grubego w kolonoskopii i obecnością typowych zmian w badaniu histopatologicznym. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie nietypowego obrazu histologicznego mikroskopowego zapalenia jelita grubego. Autorzy prezentują przypadek 56-letniego mężczyzny z uporczywą, wodnistą biegunką, z pochopnie rozpoznaną niewydolnością zewnątrzwydzielniczą trzustki. Po wykluczeniu infekcyjnego tła biegunki wykonano kolonoskopię, ukazując makroskopowo niemal prawidłowy obraz jelita grubego. Otrzymano niespójne wyniki badań histopatologicznych. W badaniu mikroskopowym wycinków z okrężnicy potwierdzono rozpoznanie kolagenowego mikroskopowego zapalenia jelita grubego (w preparacie grubość kolagenu podnabłonkowego wynosiła > 10 µm, liczba limfocytów śródnabłonkowych < 20 w przeliczeniu na 100 komórek nabłonka). Tymczasem podczas kontrolnej kolonoskopii w wycinkach z jelita grubego ujawniono cechy zapalenia limfocytowego, w badanych próbkach nie wykazano obecności złogów podnabłonkowego kolagenu. Autorzy analizują czynniki ryzyka zachorowania, odpowiedź na zastosowane leczenie, przebieg kliniczny choroby oraz rozbieżne wyniki badań histopatologicznych.

Microscopic colitis (MC) is a common cause of unexplainable, chronic diarrhea. The disease is characterized by the presence of clinical symptoms, a normal colonoscopy and typical histopathological changes upon microscopic examination. The aim of the study was to present a case of an atypical histological form of MC. A 56 year-old man presented with chronic, watery diarrhea. Gastrointestinal infection had been excluded. The colon appeared almost normal on the colonoscopy. Inconsistent histological findings were observed. The pathology of randomly taken colon biopsies showed collagenous colitis (CC; thickness of collagen bands > 10 µm, < 20 IELs). Six months later during a follow-up colonoscopy, colonic specimens revealed typical findings of lymphocytic colitis (LC), namely, no thickened subepithelial collagen bands were identified. The authors analyzed the risk factors, diagnosis, treatment response, clinical course and the atypical histological outcomes.

Abstract: Percutaneous closure with a septal occluder device can be definitive primary treatment for anatomically suitable patients or it can serve as a bridge to surgical treatment.
