BACKGROUNDHeart transplantation is recommended for the treatment of patients with refractory heart failure. Chest pain after heart transplantation is usually considered noncardiac owing to the denervated heart. However, data from case reports on tacrolimus-induced achalasia after heart transplantation are limited. We aimed to present a case of tacrolimus-induced achalasia that developed after heart transplantation, which was successfully relieved by laparoscopic Heller myotomy.CASE SUMMARYA 67-year-old man with a history of Type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and dilated cardiomyopathy had congestive heart failure following orthotopic heart transplantation with tacrolimus treatment 12 years ago. At the 10-year follow-up after the heart transplantation, the patient presented with persistent cough, dysphagia, heartburn, and retrosternal chest pain lasting for 2 wk. Upper endoscopy revealed no specific findings. Two years later, the patient experienced the same symptoms, including chest pain lasting for 4 wk. Esophagogram and manometry confirmed the presence of achalasia. Previous reports showed that discontinuing calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) treatment and endoscopic botulinum toxin injection could treat CNI-induced achalasia. Owing to the risk of rejection of the transplanted heart and considering the temporary benefits of botulinum toxin injection in achalasia, the patient underwent laparoscopic Heller myotomy. Dysphagia was relieved without complications. Eight months later, he had no signs of recurrence of the achalasia.CONCLUSIONIn transplant patients with chest pain and gastrointestinal symptoms, CNI-induced achalasia may be one of the differential diagnoses. Esophagogram/manometry is useful for diagnosis. 相似文献

Patients who present to the ED with chest pain (or its equivalent) but have no electrocardiographic changes or elevation in cardiac biomarkers after an appropriate interval can be considered low risk for acute coronary syndrome. Combined with a low demographic risk for coronary artery disease (eg, using Framingham criteria), such patients can be said to be "low risk" for a subsequent coronary event. Whether there is a role for further risk stratification with provocative testing and/or coronary imaging before discharge remains open to debate. 相似文献

PURPOSE: This paper aims to explore the role of facial expression in pediatric pain assessment. A comparison of tools employing facial expression methodology is presented. The concept of the primal face of pain (PFP) is introduced. CONCLUSION: The PFP offers an explanation to the utility and deficiency of facial pain scales and facial expression in pain assessment. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS. The complexities of pain measurement should preclude the clinical application of untested instruments. For reported tools, a careful evaluation of the psychometric properties and the clinical context must precede application. The concept of the PFP warns against the application of facial pain scales as proxy measures in their intended population. Reliance on facial expression to assess pain in the school-age child is imprecise. 相似文献

目的评价掌上超声诊断仪对急诊胸痛、胸闷患者进行超声心动图检查、快捷诊断和初筛的临床价值。 方法选择2014年1至10月中国医学科学院阜外医院收治的271例急诊患者。应用美国GE Vscan型掌上超声诊断仪进行床旁超声心动图检查,主要评估心腔内径、左心室收缩功能、节段性室壁运动异常,心包以及升主动脉等。所有患者均在应用美国GE Vscan型掌上超声诊断仪检查之后,再应用美国GE Vivid i型超声心动图检查仪进行检查。采用χ2检验比较Vscan型掌上超声诊断仪与Vivid i型超声心动图检查仪检查结果差异;采用独立样本t检验比较Vscan型掌上超声诊断仪与Vivid i型超声心动图检查仪、高年资医师与低年资医师检查用时差异。 结果掌上超声诊断仪能对全部271例患者进行清晰成像。经Vscan型掌上超声诊断仪扫查确诊,存在节段性室壁运动异常者91例,左心室收缩功能减低者37例,心包积液3例,升主动脉夹层14例;其余患者超声心动图检查结果未提示存在室壁运动异常或收缩功能异常。Vscan型掌上超声诊断仪在评价节段性室壁运动异常及左心室收缩功能异常各漏诊1例,但Vscan型掌上超声诊断仪与Vivid i型超声心动图检查仪检查结果差异无统计学意义(χ2=0.03,P>0.05)。每个患者的检查时间为1~5 min,Vscan型掌上超声诊断仪与Vivid i型超声心动图检查仪检查用时差异也无统计学意义(t=-1.478,P>0.05)。应用Vscan型掌上超声诊断仪检查时,高年资医师比低年资医师检查用时短,且差异有统计学意义[(2.6±1.4)min vs (3.5±1.8)min,t=-2.41,P<0.05]。 结论对于以胸闷、胸痛等为主诉就诊的急诊患者,其临床诊断不明确且体格检查等结果为阴性时,掌上超声诊断仪能够有针对性的快速、准确评价心脏解剖结构、功能以及血流动力学状态,从而指导有效治疗,避免漏诊,具有重要的临床应用价值。 相似文献

Thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis is an uncommon but sometimes fatal disease in which early recognition and therapy may prevent untoward complications. The case of a 26-year-old Chinese man who presented to the emergency department with rapidly progressive profound weakness and severe hypokalemia (serum potassium, 1.2 mEq/L) is presented. The patient required endotracheal intubation, ventilatory assistance, and intravenous potassium administration. Emergency medical evaluation and management of this entity are discussed. 相似文献

The diagnosis of anti-Hu-associated encephalomyelitis/sensory neuropathy may be particularly difficult when cranial nerve
involvement represents the first clinical manifestation of the disease. We report a case of a patient who presented with facial
pain as the first manifestation of an anti-Hu paraneoplastic syndrome, which needs a rapid detection and treatment of the
underlying tumour. We suggest that paraneoplastic neuropathy should be considered during the management of trigeminal neuropathic
pain, especially when brain imagery is normal. 相似文献

The evaluation of pleuritic pain in the emergency department (ED) presents a considerable challenge for the attending physician. Chest radiography (CXR) is a basic test, but its sensitivity is low, and often more sophisticated imaging techniques are needed. Our aim is to assess the diagnostic value of bedside B-mode lung ultrasound (LUS) in the visualization of radio-occult pulmonary lesions. Forty-nine patients complaining of pleuritic pain with negative CXR were prospectively studied by LUS. Detection of at least one of the following sonographic signs in the painful thoracic area was considered diagnostic: (i) the absence of pleural sliding; (ii) the focal alveolar-interstitial syndrome (AIS), defined by multiple artifacts B-line; (iii) the peripheral alveolar consolidation (PAC), defined by hypoechoic subpleural images; and (iv) the pleural disruption with thickening and irregularity of the line, with or without localized effusion. The final diagnoses were confirmed by spiral CT scanning (n = 12) and follow-up (n = 37). Final diagnoses were chest wall pain (n = 30), pleuropneumonia (n = 14), pulmonary embolism (n = 4), lung metastasis (n = 1). In 18 patients of the group with pulmonary conditions, LUS showed signs of pleurisy. They were PAC (n = 12), AIS (n = 17), pleural disruption (n = 17). If any sign is considered, the sensitivity of LUS in the diagnosis of radio-occult lesions was 94.7%, specificity was 96.7%, positive and negative predictive values were 94.7% and 96.7%, respectively, and accuracy was 95.9%. In patients with pleuritic pain of unknown cause, real-time LUS enables the diagnosis of radio-occult lung and pleural lesions. 相似文献

Comparison of three preverbal scales for postoperative pain assessment in a diverse pediatric sample 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The purposes of this study were to compare the reliability and validity of three pain measurement scales for assessing pain in preverbal and nonverbal children and to determine which of the scales was mos tappropriate in a clinical setting to evaluate pain for infants and young children regardless of developmental stage or cognitive or physical disability. Pain scales tested were revised versions of the Riley Infant Pain Scale (RIPS), the Nursing Assessment of Pain Intensity (NAPI), and the Postoperative Pain Score (POPS). Purposive sampling of 391 postoperative infants and children was used for evaluation of pain in a midwestern children's hospital. Four assessments with each scale were done 1 hr apart by trained observers blinded to pain medications. Data analyses supported high inter-rater reliability, satisfactory discrimination between pain and no-pain observations, and suggested acceptability for all three scales with lower caregiver burden for RIPS and NAPI. 相似文献
