Prognostic implications of left ventricular inward displacement assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with myocardial infarction.
Nabeta T, Meucci MC, Westenberg JJM, Reiber JH, Knuuti J, van der Bijl P, Marsan NA, Bax JJ
Risk stratification of patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) still depends mainly on the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). LV inward displacement (InD) is a novel parameter of LV systolic function, derived from feature tracking cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. We aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of InD in patients with IHD and prior myocardial infarction. A total of 111 patients (mean age 57 ± 10, 86% male) with a history of myocardial infarction who underwent CM...

HSV-1 Encephalitis Presenting with Diplopia: Effects of Infection or Autoimmunity?
Elvan-Tuz A, Elvan-Tuz A, Kaya-Guner E, Sarioglu FC, Agrali-Eroz N, Baykan M, Karadag-Oncel E, Yilmaz D, Olgac-Dundar N
This report describes a case in which diplopia was developed as a finding of postinfectious anti- N -methyl- d -aspartate receptor encephalitis. Infectious encephalitis, especially herpes simplex virus, is essential as it is one of the triggers of autoimmune encephalitis. Even if the cases present unexpected clinical findings, we should be vigilant in terms of autoimmune processes, such as diplopia seen in our case.

The role of transforming growth factor beta in bicuspid aortic valve aortopathy.
Grewal N, Dolmaci O, Klautz A, Legue J, Driessen A, Klautz R, Poelmann R
A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most prevalent congenital cardiac deformity, which is associated with an increased risk to develop a thoracic aortic aneurysm and/or an aortic dissection as compared to persons with a tricuspid aortic valve. Due to the high prevalence of a BAV in the general population and the associated life-long increased risk for adverse vascular events, BAV disease places a considerable burden on the public health. The aim of the present review is to discuss the role of t...
