Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present a case of infective endocarditis (IE) caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), focusing on diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The paper highlights the importance of 2D transesophageal echocardiography (TOE) and discusses the capabilities and advances of appliance of the 3D TOE in patient evaluation, better understanding of the diagnosis, and timely treatment. The use of this advance echocardiographic modality allows clear visualization of complex and destructive tissue lesions, such as the perforation observed and presented in this case.
期刊介绍:
Technology and Health Care is intended to serve as a forum for the presentation of original articles and technical notes, observing rigorous scientific standards. Furthermore, upon invitation, reviews, tutorials, discussion papers and minisymposia are featured. The main focus of THC is related to the overlapping areas of engineering and medicine. The following types of contributions are considered:
1.Original articles: New concepts, procedures and devices associated with the use of technology in medical research and clinical practice are presented to a readership with a widespread background in engineering and/or medicine. In particular, the clinical benefit deriving from the application of engineering methods and devices in clinical medicine should be demonstrated. Typically, full length original contributions have a length of 4000 words, thereby taking duly into account figures and tables.
2.Technical Notes and Short Communications: Technical Notes relate to novel technical developments with relevance for clinical medicine. In Short Communications, clinical applications are shortly described. 3.Both Technical Notes and Short Communications typically have a length of 1500 words.
Reviews and Tutorials (upon invitation only): Tutorial and educational articles for persons with a primarily medical background on principles of engineering with particular significance for biomedical applications and vice versa are presented. The Editorial Board is responsible for the selection of topics.
4.Minisymposia (upon invitation only): Under the leadership of a Special Editor, controversial or important issues relating to health care are highlighted and discussed by various authors.
5.Letters to the Editors: Discussions or short statements (not indexed).
