Cardiopulmonary investigations included an echocardiogram, which showed a hepatic cyst compromising venous return and affecting right atrial filling and a CT abdomen showed a 15.5 × 11.5 cm-cystic mass involving the right hepatic lobe and compressing the right atrium. Percutaneous drainage of the cyst was performed. This led to complete resolution of symptoms but these recurred as the fluid re-accumulated. Subsequent definitive treatment with excision of the cyst was undertaken with symptomatic cure. This case is the first report of a hepatic cyst presenting as right heart due to compression of the right atrium. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Case ReportDOI 10.1007...

So he was ideally prepared in 1869 to analyse the conundrum when he saw patients with spinal cord disease who had lost the response to light even though accommodation to near objects was normal. By translating his knowledge of basic science to a clinical problem he drew attention to this phenomenon, known subsequently as the Argyll Robertson pupil that came to be considered pathognomonic of tabes dorsalis, general paresis and neurovascular syphilis.

Although this was not associated with significant metabolic effects in the fasting state, metformin-induced inhibition of DPP IV may contribute to glycaemic control by promoting insulin-releasing activity of the enteroinsular hormones actively secreted following feeding.

The patient developed recurrent unstable ventricular tachycardia (VT) post-chemotherapy secondary to extensive scarring at the tumour site. The tumour as well as the post-treatment scarring is well illustrated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging highlighting its usefulness in this setting. An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) was placed. This is only the second case in the literature of PCL to have an ICD placed for recurrent VT. A brief literature review is included.

There were a number of remarkably able men who were actively involved in medical editing as well as notable medical discoveries. Dublin was then a very large city with well-organised hospitals. The population of the country was at a level never seen before or since. Ireland’s population was then more than half that of England and Wales. Poverty lead to an enormous demand for hospital care with unrivalled opportunities for clinical observation. Post-mortem examinations were frequent and thorough. The Act of Union in 1800 lead to the decline of Dublin as a political and so...

Smoking was a major behavioural risk factor among younger patients and much health gain could be achieved in this group through primary prevention strategies.

Many of these injuries are easily preventable with appropriate eye protection. The proportion of injuries resulting from road traffic accidents was low. Injuries due to assault are becoming more prevalent and carry a poor visual prognosis. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Original PaperDOI 10.1007/BF03170485Authors A.

users in Ireland: a retrospective cross-sectional survey of screening, prevalence, incidence and hepatitis B immunisation uptake http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2941344&cid=s_35978_22_f&fid=35978&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.springerlink.com%2Fcontent%2Fl0867t1p401nj516%2F Conclusion  The proportion of clients screened for HCV, HBV and HIV infection has increased since the introduction of a screening protocol in 1998. Targeted vaccination for opiate users against hepatitis B is more successful than previously shown in Ireland. The prevalence and incidence of bloodborne viruses remains high among opiate users attending addiction treatment services, despite an increase in availability of harm reduction interventions.

Male lupus is rare, apart from at either end of the age spectrum. Aim  In this series, we review the histories of six male lupus patients attending our service. Results  Our patients presented in middle age and tended to develop haematological abnormalities, renal involvement and neurological manifestations which preceded the onset of their skin and joint complaints. Our patients accrued damage rapidly and overall did badly. They tended to respond sub-optimally to standard treatments. These cases highlight the need an increased awareness that male SLE patients present with a wide variety of symptoms, and that ...

American and British visitations, which were not allowed to pass without dissent.11 Progress continues with quickening pace, spurred by increasingly generous state subvention and support from outside bodies like the Wellcome Trust. A century afterAn Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine was published by Claude Bernard [1813–1878] in 1855, Ireland was introduced to, and is now zealously immersed in, the practice as well as the principles of experimental medicine as the foundation of sound clinical practice.

These patients must be rapidly and aggressively investigated and treated to maximise chances of survival. The encouraging results of recent studies using new biochemical markers may facilitate earlier diagnosis in the near future.

Early realignment of the urethra at taparotomy at 1–2 weeks can be combined with orthopaedic fixation of pelvic fractures. Patients who remain unstable due to associated injuries should have delayed urethroplasty at three months. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Original PaperDOI 10.1007/BF03167698Authors M. S.

Heterosexual contact is a mode of spread. Maternal HCV viraemia can be variable in pregnancy. Further study of HCV in pregnancy is needed to define the impact of pregnancy on HCV, accurately predict infant outcome and selectively target interventions to women at greatest risk of transmission.

However, indeterminate results impaired the usefulness of the laboratory ELISA particularly when using a new cut-off. The ‘office’ ELISA performed particularly well in young patients, A simpler test using antigens from locally prevalent strains to optimise accuracy is awaited.

It is fundamentally different from necrosis. It is a genetically controlled, energy-dependent method of cellular deletion without inflammation. In the cardiovascular system, apoptosis occurs as a primary and secondary event in disease pathogenesis. This review addresses our current understanding of the initiation, propagation and significance of apoptosis in the cardiovascular system, as well as assessing therapeutic potentials arising therefrom. Methods  A Medline search was performed and relevant publications reviewed. Further articles were obtained from the references of these publications. Results and conclusions  Apoptotic cell death is...
