    Abstract Cyclic Cushing's syndrome (CS) due to thymic carcinoid is a rare disorder. We report a case of cyclic CS due to ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting atypical thymic carcinoid tumor and reviewed similar cases published in the literature. Our patient had hypercortisolemia lasting approximately one month, followed by normal cortisol secretion, with relapse one year later. Histopathology revealed an atypical ACTH-positive thymic carcinoid. Ectopic CS can be derived from atypical thymic carcinoids, which can be aggressive tumors with early relapse, suggesting that this type of tumor probably needs aggressive treatment.

    Abstract Background: Chagas heart disease (CHD) is characterized by progressive myocardial inflammation associated with myocardial fibrosis and segmental abnormalities that may lead to malignant ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. This arrhythmia might be related to the persistence of parasitemia or inflammation in the myocardium in late-stage CHD. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has been used to detect myocardial inflammation in non-ischemic cardiomyopathies, such as sarcoidosis, and might be useful for risk prediction in patients with CHD.
    Methods and results: Twenty-four outpatients with chronic CHD were enrolled in this prospective cross-sectional study between May 2019 and March 2022. The patients were divided into two groups: those with sustained ventricular tachycardia and/or aborted sudden cardiac death who required implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, and those with the same stages of CHD and no complex ventricular arrhythmia. Patients underwent

    Abstract Purpose: We quantified lung glycolytic metabolic activity, clinical symptoms and inflammation, coagulation, and endothelial activation biomarkers in 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pneumonia survivors.
    Methods: Adults previously hospitalized with moderate to severe COVID-19 pneumonia were prospectively included. Subjects filled out a questionnaire on clinical consequences, underwent chest CT and 18 F-FDG PET/CT, and provided blood samples on the same day. Forty-five volunteers served as control subjects. Analysis of CT images and quantitative voxel-based analysis of PET/CT images were performed for both groups. 18 F-FDG uptake in the whole-lung volume and in high- and low-attenuation areas was calculated and normalized to liver values. Quantification of plasma markers of inflammation (interleukin 6), d -dimer, and endothelial cell activation (angiopoietins 1 and 2, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1, and intercellular adhesion molecule 1) was also performed.
    Results: We enrolled 53 COVID-19 survivors (62.3% were male; median age, 50 years). All survivors reported at least 1 persistent symptom, and 41.5% reported more than 6 symptoms. The mean lung density was greater in survivors than in control subjects, and more metabolic activity was observed in normal and dense lung areas, even months after symptom onset. Plasma proinflammatory, coagulation, and endothelial activation biomarker concentrations were also significantly higher in survivors.
    Conclusion: We observed more metabolic activity in areas of high and normal lung attenuation several months after moderate to severe COVID-19 pneumonia. In addition, plasma markers of thromboinflammation and endothelial activation persisted. These findings may have implications for our understanding of the in vivo pathogenesis and long-lasting effects of COVID-19 pneumonia.

    Abstract Background: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) can be the first clinical event of Chagas heart disease (CHD). However, current guidelines contain no clear recommendation for early cardioverter-defibrillator implantation. Using imaging modalities, we evaluated associations among autonomic denervation, myocardial hypoperfusion, fibrosis and ventricular arrhythmia in CHD.
    Methods and results: Twenty-nine patients with CHD and preserved left ventricular function underwent 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy, 99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) myocardial perfusion and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They were divided into arrhythmic (≥ 6 ventricular premature complexes/h and/or non-sustained ventricular tachycardia on 24-hour Holter, n = 15) and non-arrhythmic (< 6 ventricular premature complexes/h and no ventricular tachycardia; n = 14) groups. The arrhythmic group had higher denervation scores from MIBG imaging (23.2 ± 18.7 vs 5.6 ± 4.9; P < .01), hypoperfusion scores from MIBI SPECT (4.7 ± 6.8 vs 0.29 ± 0.6: P = .02), innervation/perfusion mismatch scores (18.5 ± 17.5 vs 5.4 ± 4.8; P = .01) and fibrosis by late gadolinium enhancement on MRI (14.3% ± 13.5% vs 4.0% ± 2.9%; P = .04) than the non-arrhythmic group.
    Conclusion: These imaging parameters were associated with ventricular arrhythmia in early CHD and may enable risk stratification and the implementation of primary preventive strategies for SCD.
