  • Loeffler's endocarditis involves progressive eosinophilic infiltration of the endocardium, which leads to apical thrombotic obliteration of the ventricle and endomyocardial fibrosis, that may finally represent a characteristic feature of restrictive cardiomyopathy. This paper presents a case of a 44-year-old male with symptoms of dyspnea and peripheral hypereosinophilia, who was diagnosed with early stage Loeffler's endocarditis via multicardiac imaging modalities.

  • The bioassay-guided fractionation of the methylene chloride soluble portion of a methanol extract of Gastrodia elata tubers led to the isolation of a new furfural, 5-(4-hydroxy-benzyloxymethyl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde (2), together with four known compounds (1, 3-5), which exhibited potent inhibitory activity at the concentration of 25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml on melanin biosynthesis in cultured B-16 mouse melanoma cells.

  • Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a necrotizing renal infections characterized by intrarenal and occasional perirenal gas production. Although uncommon (89 cases in the literature), it occurs almost exclusively in diabetic patients (87% of the cases). Prompt and aggressive management is required to salvage these patients. We describe a recent case of a diabetic woman with emphysematous pyelonephritis due to E. Coli, successfully managed with unilateral nephrectomy.
