RESUMO

Dysphagia is a common issue observed among the elderly, which can arise from various etiologies such as motility disorders and chronic neurologic conditions. Radiologists play a crucial role in diagnosing the cause of dysphagia, as they can identify anatomical abnormalities that may lead to the condition. One such anomaly is the hemiazygos vein, which is the left side equivalent of the azygos vein and can cause dysphagia if it crosses over the esophagus. To our knowledge, there are only 2 other recorded cases of azygos aneurysm/dilation causing esophageal dysphagia. In this context, we present a case report of a 73-year-old female with a 1-month history of weight loss and dysphagia due to a prominent hemiazygos vein. The case highlights the importance of thorough radiological evaluation in identifying the underlying cause of dysphagia and ensuring timely and appropriate treatment.

RESUMO

Acute pancreatitis is defined as inflammation of the pancreas and is most commonly caused by gallstones and alcohol use. Less commonly, acute pancreatitis can be drug induced from medications that are divided into 5 subgroups (classes Ia-V). The subgroups are determined based on the cases reported, reaction with rechallenge and a consistent period of latency. We describe a case of a 34-year-old female who overdosed on losartan pills in a suicide attempt but developed symptoms of drug-induced acute pancreatitis nearly a week later without gallstones, alcohol involvement, or other drug toxicity.

RESUMO

Across plants, leaves exhibit profound diversity in shape. As a single leaf expands, its shape is in constant flux. Plants may also produce leaves with different shapes at successive nodes. In addition, leaf shape varies among individuals, populations and species as a result of evolutionary processes and environmental influences. Because leaf shape can vary in many different ways, theoretically, the effects of distinct developmental and evolutionary processes are separable, even within the shape of a single leaf. Here, we measured the shapes of > 3200 leaves representing > 270 vines from wild relatives of domesticated grape (Vitis spp.) to determine whether leaf shapes attributable to genetics and development are separable from each other. We isolated latent shapes (multivariate signatures that vary independently from each other) embedded within the overall shape of leaves. These latent shapes can predict developmental stages independent from species identity and vice versa. Shapes predictive of development were then used to stage leaves from 1200 varieties of domesticated grape (Vitis vinifera), revealing that changes in timing underlie leaf shape diversity. Our results indicate that distinct latent shapes combine to produce a composite morphology in leaves, and that developmental and evolutionary contributions to shape vary independently from each other.
