Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) often causes neurologic symptoms, but they typically occur as a later symptom of the syndrome. In addition, the Shiga toxin- producing E. coli (STEC) which causes HUS rarely causes bacteremia. We present the case of a 10-year-old male with Smith-Magenis syndrome who was admitted to the hospital due to STEC gastroenteritis, who was initially improving with supportive care, and then subsequently developed fever and had multiple seizures which were different from his typical seizure semiology...

Renal denervation (RDN) is a safe and effective strategy for the treatment of difficult to treat hypertension. The blood pressure (BP)-lowering efficacy of RDN is comparable to those of many single antihypertensive medications and it allows to consider the RDN as a valuable option for the treatment of difficult to treat hypertension together with lifestyle modifications and medical therapy. A multidisciplinary team is of pivotal importance from the selection of the patient candidate for the procedure to the post-procedural management...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Hypertension is a potentially dangerous health condition that can be detected by measuring blood pressure (BP). Blood pressure monitoring and measurement are essential for preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases. Cuff-based devices, on the other hand, are uncomfortable and prevent continuous BP measurement. METHODS: In this study, a new non-invasive and cuff-less method for estimating Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) has been proposed using characteristic features of photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals and nonlinear regression algorithms...

Spiroadenomas, arising from sweat glands, are rare benign skin tumors primarily found as solitary nodules on the head, neck, and trunk. The malignant subtype, Spiradenocarcinoma (MSA), originating from benign spiradenomas, is extremely rare and occurs mainly in individuals over 50. MSA exhibits aggressiveness with higher metastasis rates and lower survival rates. Surgical excision is the standard management, supported by imaging modalities like MRI, CT-scan, and ultrasound. We present a 69-year-old female with a medical history of diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia who presented in 2014 with multiple swellings on the forehead and left arm...

Lack of the typical nocturnal blood pressure (BP) fall, i.e non-dipper, has been known as a cardiovascular risk. However, the influence of non-dipper on atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been unclear. We investigated the clinical impact of non-dipping as evaluated by 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring on the long-term outcome of AF recurrence post-PVI in 76 AF patients with a history of increased BP. The PVI procedure was successful in all 76 patients (mean age, 66±9years; antihypertensive medication, 89%; non-paroxysmal AF, 24%)...
