Cardiomyopathy in childhood is a rare and heterogeneous disease. The true prevalence is unknown; however, epidemiological studies from the United States, Australia, and Finland have reported an annual incidence of between 0.65 and 12.4 per 100,000. The most common type of cardiomyopathy in childhood is dilated cardiomyopathy followed by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, while restrictive cardiomyopathy and other forms are much rarer (58.6% vs 25.5% vs 2.5% respectively). Although children may present at any age, the majority present under 1 year of age (63.4%).

Background: Cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of pathologies characterized by structural and functional alterations of the heart. Aims: The purpose of this narrative review is to focus on the most important cardiomyopathies and their epidemiology, diagnosis, and management. Methods: Clinical trials were identified by Pubmed until 30 March 2021. The search keywords were “cardiomyopathies, sudden cardiac arrest, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), restrictive cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ARCV), takotsubo syndrome”. Results: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common primary cardiomyopathy, with a prevalence of 1:500 persons. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has a prevalence of 1:2500 and is the leading indication for heart transplantation. Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is the least common of the major cardiomyopathies, representing 2% to 5% of cases. Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ARCV) is a pathology characterized by the substitution of the myocardium by fibrofatty tissue. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is defined as an abrupt onset of left ventricular dysfunction in response to severe emotional or physiologic stress. Conclusion: In particular, it has been reported that HCM is the most important cause of sudden death on the athletic field in the United States. It is needless to say how important it is to know which changes in the heart due to physical activity are normal, and when they are pathological.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is no longer considered ‘degenerative’ or ‘wear and tear’ arthritis; rather involves dynamic biomechanical, biochemical and cellular process. Indeed, the joint damage that occurs in OA is the result of active remodeling involving all the joint structures. Although articular cartilage is at the center of change, OA is viewed as a disease of the entire joint. Traditionally, OA has been viewed as an inevitable degenerative condition of the cartilage. It is currently viewed as a biomechanical and biochemical inflammatory disease of the entire joints. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis. Its high prevalence, especially in the elderly, and the high rate of disability related to disease make it a leading cause of disability in the elderly. Because of the aging of Western populations and because obesity, a major risk factor, are increasing in prevalence, the occurrence of osteoarthritis is on the rise. In the United States, osteoarthritis prevalence will increase from 66–100% by the year 2020. OA affects certain joints, yet spares others. Commonly affected joints include the cervical and lumbosacral spine, hip, knee, and first metatarsal phalangeal joint (MTP). In the hands, the distal and proximal inter-phalangeal joints and the base of the thumb are often affected. Usually spared are the wrist, elbow, and ankle.Journal of Current and Advance Medical Research 2015;2(1):18-23DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jcamr.v2i1.22584

Introduction: Current incidence estimates of in-hospital cardiac arrest in the United States are based on data from more than a decade ago, with an estimated 200,000 adult cases per year. The aim of this study was to estimate the contemporary incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrest in adult patients, which may better inform the public health impact of in-hospital cardiac arrest in the United States. Methods: Using the Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation (GWTG-R) registry, we developed a negative binomial regression model to estimate the incidence of index in-hospital cardiac arrests in adult patients (>18 years) between 2008 and 2016 based on hospital-level characteristics. The model coefficients were then applied to all United States hospitals, using data from the American Hospital Association Annual Survey, to obtain national incidence estimates. Hospitals only providing care to pediatric patients were excluded from the analysis. Additional analyses were performed including both index and recurrent events. Results: There were 154,421 index cardiac arrests from 388 hospitals registered in the GWTG-R registry. A total of 6,808 hospitals were available in the American Hospital Association database, of which 6,285 hospitals provided care to adult patients. The average annual incidence was estimated to be 283,700 in-hospital cardiac arrests. When including both index and recurrent cardiac arrests, the average annual incidence was estimated to 344,800 cases. Conclusions: Our analysis indicates that there are approximately 280,000 adult patients with in-hospital cardiac arrests per year in the United States. This estimate provides the contemporary annual incidence of the burden from in-hospital cardiac arrest in the United States.

Drug abuse is an increasing concern all over the world especially in the United States. Methamphetamine have been well established to cause elevated body temperature, irregular heartbeat, seizures, and heart disease. We present a case of ventricular thrombus with systemic emboli in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy after methamphetamine use.

Self Injury

BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) has received increased attention in the mental health literature and has been proposed as a diagnostic entity for DSM-5. However, data on NSSI in the United States adult population are lacking.MethodThe prevalence and nature of NSSI were examined in a random-digit dialing sample of 439 adults in the United States. Participants were recruited during July and August of 2008.ResultsLifetime prevalence of NSSI was 5.9%, including 2.7% who had self-injured five or more times. The 12-month prevalence was 0.9%. Methods of NSSI reported included cutting/carving, burning, biting, scraping/scratching skin, hitting, interfering with wound healing and skin picking. Half of self-injurers reported multiple methods. The average age of onset was 16 years (median 14 years). Instances of NSSI infrequently co-occurred with suicidal thoughts and with use of alcohol or drugs and rarely required medical treatment. Most injurers reported that NSSI functioned to alleviate negative emotions. Fewer reported that they self-injured to punish themselves, to communicate with others/get attention or to escape a situation or responsibility. NSSI was associated with younger age, being unmarried and a history of mental health treatment, but not with gender, ethnicity, educational history or household income.ConclusionsResults are largely consistent with previous research in adolescent and young adult samples. Study limitations notwithstanding, this study provides the most definitive and detailed information to date regarding the prevalence and characteristics of NSSI in US adults. In the future, it will be important for large-scale epidemiological studies of psychopathology to include questions about NSSI.
