Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis01:25

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...
Chronic Inflammation: Introduction01:12

Chronic Inflammation: Introduction

Chronic inflammation is a prolonged, dysregulated immune response that persists for weeks to years when the inciting stimulus is difficult to eradicate or when self‑antigens drive ongoing reactivity. Morphologically, it is defined by mononuclear cell infiltration, progressive tissue destruction, and concurrent attempts at healing via angiogenesis and fibrosis. Compared with acute inflammation, edema is less prominent while cellular infiltration predominates; triggers include persistent...
Myocarditis II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests01:27

Myocarditis II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests

Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle. The symptoms vary widely, encompassing asymptomatic presentations to severe, acute manifestations.Clinical PresentationAsymptomatic cases: In some instances, myocarditis may be asymptomatic, with the infection resolving without intervention. These cases often go undetected unless discovered incidentally through diagnostic imaging or tests conducted for other reasons.General Early Symptoms: Early symptoms of myocarditis are non-specific and can...
Encephalitis ll: Pathophysiology01:26

Encephalitis ll: Pathophysiology

Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain parenchyma caused by direct viral invasion or immune-mediated mechanisms triggered by infections or tumors. Both processes lead to neuronal injury, disrupted neurotransmission, and diverse neurological symptoms, often with overlapping clinical and pathological features.Autoimmune EncephalitisIn autoimmune encephalitis, antibodies target neuronal antigens on cell surfaces, synapses, or within neurons. A key example is anti-NMDAR encephalitis, which can...
Aortic Regurgitation II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests01:22

Aortic Regurgitation II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests

Aortic valve regurgitation (AR) occurs when the aortic valve fails to close properly, allowing blood to flow backward from the aorta into the left ventricle. This backflow can result in two distinct clinical presentations: acute and chronic AR, each characterized by its own set of symptoms and physical findings.Acute Aortic RegurgitationAcute AR presents with a sudden onset of severe symptoms. Patients typically experience profound dyspnea (shortness of breath), chest pain, and signs of left...
Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery01:19

Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

Here is a stepwise guide to assessing the body temperature at the temporal artery using a temporal artery thermometer
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don a fresh pair of gloves to prevent cross-infection and ensure patient safety.
Step 2: Explain the procedure to the patient to establish trust. Clear communication establishes trust with the patient, ensures they understand what to expect, promotes cooperation, and enhances comfort during the procedure.  
Step 3: Assess the patient's forehead...

Summary

Temporal arteritis (TA) diagnosis often relies on prednisone treatment response. Biopsies confirmed TA in 15 patients, revealing significant arterial narrowing and giant cells, though the cause of TA remains unknown.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Pathology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Temporal arteritis (TA) diagnosis can be challenging, often relying on clinical response to prednisone.
  • Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) frequency is relatively low, despite its diagnostic value.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the histological findings and clinical outcomes of patients diagnosed with TA via temporal artery biopsy.
  • To investigate the role of TA in patient mortality.

Main Methods:

  • Histological examination of temporal artery biopsies from 15 patients diagnosed with TA over a 13-year period.
  • Review of patient demographics, clinical presentation, treatment response, and mortality data.

Main Results:

  • TA was confirmed in 15 patients (mean age 82, 73% women).
  • Biopsies showed >95% lumen narrowing in 87% and giant cells in 73% of cases.
  • All patients responded to prednisone; 53% died during follow-up, but TA's role in mortality is unclear.

Conclusions:

  • Temporal artery biopsy is crucial for confirming TA, revealing characteristic pathological changes.
  • While prednisone effectively manages TA symptoms, the underlying cause of the disease remains elusive.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate the etiology of TA and its impact on long-term patient survival.
