Abstract

Histoplasmosis and blastomycosis are the two most common midwestern endemic mycoses. A history of exposure to the geographic areas in which these organisms occur is central to raising suspicion for an endemic fungal infection. For infection with these organisms, the diagnosis is definitively established by recovery of the organism in tissue or body fluids, which may take weeks. A rapid diagnosis can be made by finding the distinctive yeasts in tissues or body fluids. Antigen testing allows a presumptive diagnosis of these endemic fungal infections while awaiting culture results, but cross-reactivity between assays for Histoplasma and Blastomyces is routinely seen. Antibody tests provide supportive evidence for infection with either of these endemic mycoses but are less useful in immunosuppressed patients.

Blutdrucksenkung könnte Uterusmyome verhindern

21.05.2024 Krebsvorsorge in der Gynäkologie Nachrichten

Frauen mit unbehandelter oder neu auftretender Hypertonie haben ein deutlich erhöhtes Risiko für Uterusmyome. Eine Therapie mit Antihypertensiva geht hingegen mit einer verringerten Inzidenz der gutartigen Tumoren einher.

Ein signifikanter Anteil der Fälle von plötzlichem Herztod ist genetisch bedingt. Um ihre Verwandten vor diesem Schicksal zu bewahren, sollten jüngere Personen, die plötzlich unerwartet versterben, ausnahmslos einer Autopsie unterzogen werden.

Kommt es zu einer nichttraumatischen Hirnblutung, spielt es keine große Rolle, ob die Betroffenen zuvor direkt wirksame orale Antikoagulanzien oder Marcumar bekommen haben: Die Prognose ist ähnlich schlecht.

Schlechtere Vorhofflimmern-Prognose bei kleinem linken Ventrikel

Nicht nur ein vergrößerter, sondern auch ein kleiner linker Ventrikel ist bei Vorhofflimmern mit einer erhöhten Komplikationsrate assoziiert. Der Zusammenhang besteht nach Daten aus China unabhängig von anderen Risikofaktoren.
