Abstract:
We report a 74-year-old woman with acute heart failure and recurrent ischemic strokes as the presenting features of a nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis complicating a gastric adenocarcinoma. The treatment only allowed a few months remission. Diagnosis of nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis is rarely obtained while the patient is alive. Coagulation abnormalities due to the tumoral process are responsible of the valvular thrombotic process. Anticoagulation with heparin is recommended. Valvular surgery remains controversial.

Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types
Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...
