Item An Interesting Case of Permanent His-Bundle Pacing and a Review of the Current Literature(MediaSphere Medical, 2017-04-01) Ezzeddine, Fatima; Dandamudi, Gopi; Medicine, School of MedicinePermanent His-bundle pacing (HBP) is a true physiological form of ventricular pacing that has been shown in recent years to be both safe and feasible in clinical practice. However, there are limited data about its long-term performance, especially when compared with both right ventricular and biventricular pacing. In this article, we present a thought-provoking case study that illustrates the usefulness of permanent HBP in a patient with long-standing complete infranodal heart block and progressive heart failure, and discuss the current literature highlighting the evidence behind this form of permanent pacing.Item Spontaneous Pneumothoraces and Hemothoraces in Sarcomas(Cureus, Inc, 2017-12-03) Ezzeddine, Fatima; Jalal, Shadia; Medicine, School of MedicineSpontaneous pneumothoraces and hemothoraces are rare manifestations of sarcomas occurring more commonly in specific histologic types, chemotherapy and/or anti-angiogenic therapy. Early identification of spontaneous pneumothoraces and hemothoraces improves the clinical outcomes. In this article, we present a case series of three patients with soft tissue and bone sarcomas who developed spontaneous pneumothoraces and/or hemothoraces and discuss the current literature highlighting the evidence behind these complications.
