What is an interventional cardiologist? | Heart Surgeries …

Posted: Published on November 26th, 2018

Interventional cardiologists rank among the world's foremost authorities on cardiovascular disease and its treatment. An interventional cardiologist is a cardiologist with additional education, training, certification, and experience in minimally invasive procedures performed on the heart and arteries. You might be referred to an interventional cardiologist for a test called an angiogram, which is used to diagnose blockages in your arteries. If tests reveal a problem, your cardiologist may recommend a procedure such as angioplasty or stenting. During angioplasty, the interventional cardiologist feeds a long, slender tube called a catheter into an artery. A balloon on the catheter opens at the site of the blockage, pushing a substance called plaque aside. Plaque builds up in arteries, eventually restricting blood flow. Angioplasty works to restore the flow of blood in the arteries. Sometimes the interventional cardiologist will also complete a stenting procedure, during which a tiny mesh tube called a stent is inserted into the artery at the angioplasty site to help keep the artery open. An interventional cardiologist is a critical part of the care team that will be with you throughout diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention. Interventional cardiologists work closely with primary care physicians to coordinate patient cardiovascular care. Original … Continue reading

11 Facts About Eczema | Mental Floss

Posted: Published on November 26th, 2018

If youve ever had to deal with dry winter skin, you may think you know what eczema feels like. But anyone living with the chronic condition will tell you its much more than that. Rashes can rear their heads at any time of year, and eczema causes include irritants as mundane as food, clothes, and the weather. Symptoms range from mildly annoying to distracting enough to keep people from getting sleep and focusing on their work. Here are some more facts about eczema causes, symptoms, and treatments. Rather than describing one specific skin condition, eczema is used as a catch-all term for a group of related conditions. When people mention eczema, theyre often referring to atopic dermatitis: This is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by dry, itchy red patches that flare up across the body when the immune system overreacts to a trigger. Theres also contact dermatitis, which is when rashes are triggered by irritants coming in contact with the skin; nummular eczema, when rashes are coin-shaped; and stasis dermatitis, when fluid weeps out of weakened blood vessels in the skin. Eczema shouldn't be confused with psoriasis: While both are conditions that lead to dry, itchy skin, the latter is … Continue reading

Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) Causes, Symptoms, Treatment

Posted: Published on November 26th, 2018

What Is Eczema? Eczema is a descriptive term for a chronic skin condition that usually begins in early childhood. It is seen most commonly in individuals who have family members who have asthma and hay fever. This is not to say that eczema is a classical allergic disease. There seems to be general agreement that this condition is inherited because of the complete loss or relative lack of a skin protein. There are criteria that must be met before the diagnosis of eczema is considered. In most patients, the condition began in childhood. Patients develop plaques of weeping, oozing skin that are very itchy. A personal or family history of eczema, asthma, and/or inhalant allergies is helpful. In older children or adults, the lesions of eczema tend to occur in the folds of the skin in front of the elbows and in the folds of skin behind the knees. Eczema tends to improve in most patients as they get older. The belief that the cause of eczema seems to be a defect in the production of a particular skin protein (filaggrin) is currently quite popular. All of the other problems that seem to be present in those afflicted include dry … Continue reading

Left Ventricular Remodeling in Heart Failure | JACC …

Posted: Published on November 25th, 2018

Ventricular remodeling, first described in animal models of left ventricular (LV) stress and injury, occurs progressively in untreated patients after large myocardial infarction and in those with dilated forms of cardiomyopathy. The gross pathologic changes of increased LV volume and perturbation in the normal elliptical LV chamber configuration is driven, on a histologic level, by myocyte hypertrophy and apoptosis and by increased interstitial collagen. Each of the techniques used for tracking this processechocardiography, radionuclide ventriculography, and cardiac magnetic resonancecarries advantages and disadvantages. Numerous investigations have demonstrated the value of LV volume measurement at a single time-point and over time in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure and in those after myocardial infarction. The structural pattern of LV remodeling and evidence of scarring on cardiac magnetic resonance have additional prognostic value. Beyond the impact of abnormal cardiac structure on cardiovascular events, the relationship between LV remodeling and clinical outcomes is likely linked through common local and systemic factors driving vascular as well as myocardial pathology. As demonstrated by a recent meta-analysis of heart failure trials, LV volume stands out among surrogate markers as strongly correlating with the impact of a particular drug or device therapy on patient survival. These … Continue reading

FEMTO-LASIK AT FOCUS TOP-MEDICINE 2018 EUROEYES

Posted: Published on November 25th, 2018

LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis) has been a scientifically recognized and established procedure for the correction of ametropia for many years and is therefore one of the worldwide preferred surgical methods of many eye specialists.This classical LASIK method has been developed decisively in recent years: to Femto-LASIK.In order to correct a defective vision with LASIK or Femto-LASIK, a small round corneal cut must first be prepared. The preparation of this corneal cut, also known as flap, is carried out with a micro-knife in classical LASIK. In Femto-LASIK, a femtosecond laser prepares the flap completely without the use of mechanical cutting instruments. Femto-LASIK is a precise procedure for creating the corneal flap. Therefore, when choosing a clinic, you should always make sure that a femtosecond laser is used for eye laser treatment with one flap. The femtosecond laser is an infrared laser that can treat tissue very precisely with significantly less heat created than other laser treatments a big advantage in laser eye surgery. Femtosecond lasers work with ultra-short light impulses that need only a billionth of a second to create a spot as tiny as 1/100mm. To illustrate the extremely short pulse time: In one second, light travels 7.5 times … Continue reading
