Cardiac changes in acute viral hepatitis in Varanasi (India): case reports.

Three cases of acute viral hepatitis are reported with various cardiac changes such as transient left ventricular hypertrophy, myocarditis and progressive cardiomegaly (cardiomyopathy). Extra-hepatic manifestations of acute viral hepatitis are rare but have been well documented. The aims of the present study are to highlight the cardiac involvement in acute viral hepatitis and to report the clinical implications of cardiac changes in acute viral hepatitis.

Acute Disease

Amniotic arthroplasty for tuberculosis of the hip. A preliminary clinical study.

Arthroplasty of the hip using an interposed multi-layered cap of amniotic membrane is reported in 28 patients with tuberculous arthritis. The disease had been present from one to seven years, and five patients had multiple discharging sinuses. Follow-up was from 30 to 46 months. Amniotic tissue caused no inflammatory reaction, or obvious rejection, and 25 patients were free of symptoms, with a good range of movement and a stable joint. The three failures were caused by dislocation, fracture of the femoral neck and extra-articular bone formation respectively. Amniotic arthroplasty seems to be capable of providing a painless, mobile and stable joint in patients with tuberculosis of the hip.
