Infective endocarditis complicated with thalamic infarction and mycotic aneurysm rupture: a case report.

PubMed (1998)

S C Hung Cheng-Jeng Tai

A 39-year-old female with mitral valve prolapse experienced left side hemisensory disturbance four months after gastric surgery. Echocardiogram disclosed vegetation on the mitral valve and blood cultures showed growth of enterococcus. With a diagnosis of thalamic infarction complicating infective endocarditis, she was hospitalized for further treatment. After four weeks of antibiotic therapy, she developed sudden headache and obtundation. Imaging studies revealed intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), resulting from mycotic aneurysm rupture. She survived and recovered after emergency craniotomy and evacuation of the hematoma. However, the ICH recurred six weeks later and the patient died after five days in a deep coma. Patients with mitral valve prolapse are common. Those who have systolic murmur or valvular thickening and redundancy are at particular risk of infective endocarditis and should receive antibiotic prophylaxis perioperatively as recommended by the American Heart Association. Clinical manifestations of infective endocarditis and its complications, as in our patient, are often trivial. Prompt diagnosis and intervention are crucial. In view of the poor prognosis associated with ICH due to mycotic aneurysm rupture, we suggest cerebral angiography be performed in patients presenting with focal neurologic deficits or with warning headache for early detection of accessible lesions for excision.

SENSORY, CHEMICAL and BACTERIOLOGICAL STABILITY of FRANKFURTERS CONTAINING MILK PROTEINS and CORN GERM PROTEIN FLOUR

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation (1991)

S C Hung J.F. ZAYAS

Shelf stability of frankfurters extended with milk proteins and corn germ protein flour (CGPF) stored at 1-2C for 45 days was studied by water activity, sensory evaluation, bacteriological tests, and chemical determinations of total volatile nitrogen (TVN), ammonia nitrogen, and TBA values. the incorporation of milk proteins and CGPF affected shelf stability of frankfurters as determined by sensory characteristics, bacteriological test, and chemical analysis. After 45 days of storage, the frankfurters with CGPF added had a stronger atypical aroma and atypical flavor than the all-meat control and products containing milk proteins. However, the atypical notes were relatively low, up to 10.2 on a 60-point scale, and should be considered as weak and acceptable. the all-meat control had a juicier mouthfeel than the other frankfurters. CGPF-containing frankfurters contained an intermediate count (log 3-4 CFU/g) of psychrotrophic bacteria, whereas the other products contained a low bacteria count (log 0-2 CFU/g) after 45 days of storage. There was no formulation treatment effect on TBA values. TVN in frankfurters increased with increasing storage time. the ammonia contents of treatment and control frankfurters were not different during 45 days of storage.

Protein Solubility, Water Retention, and Fat Binding of Corn Germ Protein Flour Compared with Milk Proteins

Journal of Food Science (1992)

S C Hung J.F. ZAYAS

ABSTRACT Protein solubility (PS), water retention (WR), and fat binding (FB) of corn germ protein flour (CGPF), nonfat dry milk (NFDM), whey protein concentrate (WPC), and sodium caseinate (SC) were comparatively studied using response surface methodology. PS and WR of all samples were affected by pH except for WR of CGPF. PS and WR of all samples were not affected by incubation temperature except of WR of CGPF. Incubation temperature influenced FB of CGPF and WPC but not of NFDM and SC. Sample concentration significantly affected FB of all samples. CGPF was an effective protein source in terms of WR and FB. For FB, SC > CGPF = NFDM > WPC and for PS, WPC=NFDM=SC > CGPF.

Inappropriate antidiuresis associated with pituitary adenoma--mechanisms not involving inappropriate secretion of vasopressin.

PubMed (2000)

S C Hung Yumeng Wen Yuliana Ng Weixia Yang

We report an unusual case of inappropriate antidiuresis with undetectable vasopressin in an elderly man presenting with confusion due to severe hyponatremia. Further investigations led to the diagnosis of non-functional pituitary macroadenoma. The patient had normal thyroid and adrenal function. The abnormal water balance resolved promptly after transsphenoidal removal of the tumor, confirmed by a repeat water loading test. We conclude that inappropriate antidiuresis in the absence of excess vasopressin secretion may implicate mass effect from an underlying pituitary tumor.

Aldosterone and Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients: Role of Volume Overload

PLoS ONE (2013)

S C Hung Yao-Ping Lin Hsin-Lei Huang Hsiao-Fung Pu Der-Cherng Tarng

Background Elevated aldosterone is associated with increased mortality in the general population. In patients on dialysis, however, the association is reversed. This paradox may be explained by volume overload, which is associated with lower aldosterone and higher mortality. Methods We evaluated the relationship between aldosterone and outcomes in a prospective cohort of 328 hemodialysis patients stratified by the presence or absence of volume overload (defined as extracellular water/total body water >48%, as measured with bioimpedance). Baseline plasma aldosterone was measured before dialysis and categorized as low (<140 pg/mL), middle (140 to 280 pg/mL) and high (>280 pg/mL). Results Overall, 36% (n = 119) of the hemodialysis patients had evidence of volume overload. Baseline aldosterone was significantly lower in the presence of volume overload than in its absence. During a median follow-up of 54 months, 83 deaths and 70 cardiovascular events occurred. Cox multivariate analysis showed that by using the low aldosterone as the reference, high aldosterone was inversely associated with decreased hazard ratios for mortality (0.49; 95% confidence interval, 0.25–0.76) and first cardiovascular event (0.70; 95% confidence interval, 0.33−0.78) in the presence of volume overload. In contrast, high aldosterone was associated with an increased risk for mortality (1.97; 95% confidence interval, 1.69–3.75) and first cardiovascular event (2.01; 95% confidence interval, 1.28−4.15) in the absence of volume overload. Conclusions The inverse association of aldosterone with adverse outcomes in hemodialysis patients is due to the confounding effect of volume overload. These findings support treatment of hyperaldosteronemia in hemodialysis patients who have achieved strict volume control.

Het "remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema"(RS3PE)-syndroom

Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde (2003)

S C Hung Yeng Ying Kung Hsiao Yi Lin

A 63-year-old man presented with acute symmetrical polysynovitis associated with pitting edema of both the hands and feet. He was seronegative for rheumatoid factor and no radiologically evident erosion was noted in the joints of his hands and feet. Evaluation excluded congestive heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, and hypothyroidism as the cause of edema. Treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and low-dose steroids induced complete remission. The clinical manifestations of this patients were consistent with those of a distinctive, although rare, form of arthritis called remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome. This syndrome has a good prognosis in elderly patients.
