Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare, reversible form of cardiomyopathy. First cases of takotsubo cardiomyopathy were described in Japan, twenty years ago (Milinis, & Fisher, 2012). takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a transient left ventricular dysfunction, typically triggered by severe emotional or physical distress. Left ventricular ballooning is characteristic of Takotsubo syndrome. Images of this ballooning resemble a takotsubo vessel used in Japan for collecting octopus, thus the reason for the syndrome name (Pelliccia, et. al, 2014). In recent years, this cardiomyopathy has been described as “Broken heart syndrome” because severe emotional stress has been implicated as the cause of this cardiomyopathy in “approximately two-thirds of patients” (Abisse, & Poppas, 2014, p. 24)

Unilateral Absence of the Psoas Major and Iliacus Muscles and Downstream Effects of Surgical Intervention in a 96 year-old Female Donor

Learning anatomy through donor dissection allows students the unique opportunity to explore variations in anatomical structures which may include or indicate pathological anomalies. Findings could reveal insights into the life of the donor, along with the downstream effects of clinical intervention. This case study discusses the findings of a group of first-year medical students during a full body dissection of a 96-year-old female. Among other anomalies, evidence of drastic surgical intervention, extreme scoliosis, and muscle atrophy were noted. Findings suggest that the donor’s right psoas major and iliacus muscles were removed, likely as part of a surgical resection of a retroperitoneal tumor. Distal to the resected muscles, notable muscle atrophy with fat infiltration in the anterior right thigh muscles suggests muscle wasting, which could be secondary to the removal of these muscles. In addition, extreme scoliosis was discovered, likely attributed to the imbalance in hip flexor muscles following surgical removal of the iliopsoas muscle. The theorized surgical removal of iliopsoas muscles along with the downstream effects of muscle atrophy and severe scoliosis depict the impact surgical intervention can have on a patient’s quality of life. Anatomical findings of the donor discovered during dissection and theorized surgical interventions based upon gross findings are discussed in detail within this case

Presented to the Executive Board of ECREEE in April 2012The ECREEE Business Plan (2011 to 2016) provides a powerful strategic long-term framework which allows continued monitoring of the achievements of the Centre. By mapping out a clear vision, the plan serves to guide the Centre towards a position of relevance and sustainability in the coming years. The strategy includes the definition of objectives and milestones, performance indicators, activities, and human and financial resources requirements. It also highlights the peculiarities and specific challenges facing the region with respect to energy, while presenting the opportunities and barriers for renewable energy and energy efficiency deployment as well as a country-by-country review of the needs, opportunities and key issues within the sector
