A study on 60 patients with the cerebral lacunar infarction, ages of 20-85 and 60 patients with cerebral infarction (control), ages of 20 -87 has shown that the syndromes of cerebral lacunar infarction comprised hemiplegia type of merely moving, speaking disorder hemiplegia type of combination of sense and moving, merely sense accident and other lacunar syndromes. The risk factors of diseases were hypertension, diabetes and smoking.

Herein, we report on a case of primary torsion of the greater omentum with segmental infarction, which should provide useful information for the preoperative diagnosis of future such cases. Primary torsion of the greater omentum with omental infarction is a rare condition. There are only a few radiological reports of secondary torsion of the greater omentum caused by the hernial sac. During surgical exploration, infarction of the greater omentum was identified, due to the observation of omental torsion without any underlying cause. We describe a patient with characteristic computed tomography (CT) findings of primary omental torsion with segmental infarction, which correlated with the operative and pathologic results.

This paper introduces the troponin, a new gold standard for diagnosis of myocardial infarction and role of troponin in other diseases. The authors introduced also some new standards for diagnosis of the myocardial infarction such as cut-off value, isoenzyme CK-MB, GOT, myoglobin and LDH

101 male patient with diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction were involved in study. The participants have ages ranged from 42 to 85 (mean 62.13+/-8.17). Out of these patients, 4.9% had not a chest pain. 20% of patients had a severe angina and 40.6% of these had a mild angina. Time delay in admission of patients with severe chest pain was shortest (4.55 hours) and that of the patients with mild chest pain was longest (75.61 hours)

101 men were diagnosed acute myocardial infarction. Of these patients 4.9% hadn't a chest pain, 20% had a severe angina, 40.6% a mild angina. The time delay of the patients with severe angina was the shortest (4.55h) while that of the patients with mild angina was the longest (75.61h)

60 subjects with brain lacunar infarction and 60 with other brain (no lacunar) infarction aged 20-67 were investigated in Bach Mai Hospital from Jan 2001 to Jun 2002. The proportion of brain lacunar infarction vs other brain infarction was 38% in the same duration. 5 main syndromes of lacunar infarction were 98%, other syndromes 2%. There is no difference in age and gender of both groups. Risk of complications of brain lacunar infarction raised by 8,9 times in comparing with high blood pressure, 6,5 times with smoking, 2,3 times with diabetes

Contrary to ventricular mural thrombi, left atrial appendage thrombi are extremely rare in cerebral infarction correlated with acute myocardial infarction but they can be easily detected by transesophageal echocardiography(TEE). We expierienced a case of cerebral infarction which was suspected to be caused from the thrombi in left atrial appendage in a patient with acute myocardial infarction. The cerebral infarction was developed 2 days after myocardial infarction had been occurred and any source of the thrombi could not be detected except in left atrial appendage. The diagnosis was established by TEE and also aided by transthoracic echocardiography, brain computed tomography.

The remaining lung infarction is a rare but life-threatening complication after a thoracic operation and trauma. We report a case of this rare complication after the left upper lobectomy due to pulmonary aspergilloma. The infarction of the remaining left lower lobe occurred due to kinking of the pulmonary vessels after the left upper lobectomy and the completion pneumonectomy was performed in the post-operative second day. Therefore, prompt diagnosis and treatment may be necessary to prevent morbidity and mortality associated with pulmonary infarction from torsion of pulmonary artery and vein.
