Left Atrial Appendage Occluder with Recurrent Thrombus Formation Visualized by Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography

Sebastian Greiner and Hugo A Katus

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: May 31, 2016

A 78-year-old Caucasian female with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation was put on anticoagulation with phenprocoumon.

Chemotherapeutic Agents for Brain Metastases in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Case Report with Eribulin Mesylate and Review of the Literature

Alejandra C Fuentes, Reordan O De Jesus and David N Reisman

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: May 30, 2016

Lung cancer accounts for the majority of cases of brain metastases, resulting in higher morbidity and mortality. Surgery and radiation are the current standard of care for the treatment of brain metastases. However, when brain metastases recur despite these treatments, the management options are limited, especially when recurrent metastatic events occur. The role of systemic chemotherapy for brain metastases remains undefined, with advances in drug delivery and ongoing studies using targeted age...

The Use of the Gallbladder Wall for Reconstruction of the Extrahepatic Bile Ducts in a Case of Agenesis of the Common Bile Duct: A Case Report

Maher N Ghabriel

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: May 16, 2016

Unexpected anomalies of the extrahepatic biliary ducts were found intraoperatively during open cholecystectomy in a 49-year-old male, with calcular obstructive jaundice. The patient had congenital absence of the common bile duct that appears to have been replaced by the cystic duct, which opened directly into the duodenum. The right and left hepatic ducts drained into the posterior wall of the gallbladder by a short common hepatic duct. Intraoperatively the gallbladder wall (with uncompromised n...

The Spread of Melanoma to the Adrenal Glands: Historical Cases

Wilson I B Onuigbo

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: May 12, 2016

Personal interest in cancer metastasis to the adrenal glands began in 1957 and matured in a Doctorate Thesis in 1961. Part of its eminence lay in cases in which it was the only soil selected for attack. What of the melanoma? The available historical account did not contain this answer. Therefore, this paper aims to determine the situation in the classical Transactions of the Pathological Society of London, which began to publish during the 1846 - 1848 period....

Neurobiology of KB220Z-Glutaminergic-Dopaminergic Optimization Complex [GDOC] as a Liquid Nano: Clinical Activation of Brain in a Highly Functional Clinician Improving Focus, Motivation and Overall Sensory Input Following Chronic Intake

Lucien L Duquette, Frank Mattiace, Kenneth Blum, Roger L Waite, Teresa Boland,Thomas McLaughlin1, Kristina Dushaj, Marcelo Febo and Rajendra D Badgaiyan

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: May 11, 2016

With neurogenetic and epigenetic tools utilized in research and neuroimaging, we are unraveling the mysteries of brain function, especially as it relates to Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS). We encourage the development of pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals that promote a reduction in dopamine resistance and balance brain neurochemistry, leading to dopamine homeostasis. We disclose self-assessment of a highly functional professional under work-related stress following KB220Z use, a liquid (aqua) ...
