Background: Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the urinary bladder is very rare variety of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) with a prominent component of spindle-shaped cell. The incidence rate of this tumor is 0.5 % of all bladder tumors.Case report: Herein, we report a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma of urinary bladder of a farmer aged 70 years old, smoker with the complaints of lower abdominal pain, mild burning during urination and 3 episodes of painless gross haematuria. USG of KUB revealed a cystic lesion in front of the anterior bladder wall. We planned for total cystectomy but patient refused, so, partial cystectomy was carried out. Diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological study. Patient refused for radiotherapy or chemotherapy and died after 7 months of surgery due to metastasis.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pulse.v4i1.6961Pulse Vol.4 January 2010 p.28-29

The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) provides integrative exercise responses including the cardiovascular, pulmonary and skeletal muscle systems. It can be used for the identification of myocardial ischemia…
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is more efficient to handily assess arteriosclerosis than aortic PWV. The…
BACKGROUND: The consumption of chocolate and cocoa has established cardiovascular benefits. Less is known about the effects of chocolate on arterial stiffness, a marker of subclinical cardiovascular disease. The aim of…
Measuring arterial blood gas is routinely performed in critically ill patients, and may unravel severe life-threatening acid-base disorders or hypoxemia. It provides the vital information about ventilation, oxygenation…
Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) raises cardiovascular risk, but its link with the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) in diabetic and non-diabetic patients remains unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify…
Background: Persistent elevation of serum ALP is frequently encountered and can pose a diagnostic dilemma due to its association with a wide range of clinical conditions. However, the significance of ALP in these…
Introduction: The pulse wave analysis technology in the specialist SphygmoCor XCEL device has now been implemented in the CONNEQT Pulse device, which is a conventional sphygmomanometer suitable for home blood pressure…
BACKGROUND: Longitudinal studies have demonstrated that the risk of cardiovascular disease increases with pulse pressure (PP). However, PP remains an elusive cardiovascular risk factor with findings being inconsistent…
Background: Magnesium (Mg++) deficiency is related with terrible glycemic control. Supplementation of Mg++ lowers blood sugar, improves insulin sensitivity and as a end result, diabetic complications inclusive of…
