Cardiac Catheterization III: Left Heart Catheterization

764
Left heart catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the function and structure of the left side of the heart. It is generally performed to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions such as valve abnormalities, coronary artery disease, and congenital heart defects.Diagnostic and therapeutic purposesLeft heart catheterization serves various diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Assessing coronary artery bypass grafts.Evaluating coronary artery disease in...

Anatomy of the Heart01:27

Anatomy of the Heart

120.6K
The human heart is made up of three layers of tissue that are surrounded by the pericardium, a membrane that protects and confines the heart. The outermost layer, closest to the pericardium, is the epicardium. The pericardial cavity separates the pericardium from the epicardium. Beneath the epicardium is the myocardium, the middle layer, and the endocardium, the innermost layer. There are four chambers of the heart: the right atrium, the right ventricle, the left atrium, and the left ventricle.

Fixing Double-strand Breaks02:04

Fixing Double-strand Breaks

14.9K
The double-stranded structure of DNA has two major advantages. First, it serves as a safe repository of genetic information where one strand serves as the back-up in case the other strand is damaged. Second, the double-helical structure can be wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which can then be tightly wound to form chromosomes. This way, DNA chains up to 2 inches long can be contained within microscopic structures in a cell. A double-stranded break not only damages...

Reaction Quotient02:35

Reaction Quotient

The status of a reversible reaction is conveniently assessed by evaluating its reaction quotient (Q). For a reversible reaction described by m A + n B ⇌ x C + y D, the reaction quotient is derived directly from the stoichiometry of the balanced equation as

Elements: Chemical Symbols and Isotopes02:31

Elements: Chemical Symbols and Isotopes

127.3K
A chemical symbol is an abbreviation used to indicate an element or an atom of an element. For example, the symbol for mercury is Hg. The same symbol is used to indicate one atom of mercury (microscopic domain) or to label a container of many atoms of the element mercury (macroscopic domain).
Some symbols are derived from the common English name of the element; others are abbreviations of the name in another language — Latin, Greek or German. For example, the symbol for aluminum (common name)...

Anatomy of the Circulatory System02:03

Anatomy of the Circulatory System

98.4K
The human circulatory system consists of blood, blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart, around the body, and back to the heart, and the heart itself, which acts as a central pump. The systemic circuit supplies blood to the whole body, the coronary circuit supplies blood to the heart, and the pulmonary circuit supplies blood flow between the heart and lungs.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Midgut malrotation is predominantly a pediatric condition, rarely diagnosed in adults.
  • Delayed diagnosis in adults can lead to complex presentations and treatment challenges.
  • An elevated index of suspicion is crucial for identifying malrotation in adult patients with abdominal complaints.

Observation:

  • A 26-year-old male presented with left lower abdominal pain.
  • Preoperative CT suggested left-sided appendicitis, but intraoperative findings revealed ruptured cecal diverticulitis with abscess.
  • The patient had abnormally located abdominal organs consistent with midgut malrotation.

Findings:

  • Ruptured cecal diverticulitis with abscess formation was confirmed during laparotomy.
  • The patient underwent cecectomy and experienced a complicated postoperative recovery.
  • The case underscores the diagnostic rarity and potential for misdiagnosis of midgut malrotation in adults.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering malrotation in adult abdominal emergencies, even when symptoms mimic common pediatric conditions.
  • Surgical management of adult midgut malrotation, particularly with concurrent pathologies like diverticulitis, remains a subject of debate.
  • Further research into the surgical strategies for adult midgut malrotation is warranted to improve patient outcomes.
