Double Delayed Enhancement: Concomitant Cardiac Amyloidosis and Acute Coronary Embolism.

Hereditary cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a relatively rare cause of nonischemic cardiomyopathy. The risk of intracardiac thrombi increases significantly in patients with CA. We report a case of a patient presenting with chest pain and acute myocardial infarction who was subsequently diagnosed with concomitant CA and acute coronary embolism.

HIV-associated Non-small-cell Lung Cancer with Rearrangement of the Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Gene: A Report of Two Patients.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common non-AIDS defining cancer in patients infected with HIV and has the highest mortality rate among all cancers in this patient population. Treatment of NSCLC in HIV-positive patients is similar to that in HIV-negative patients, but less is known about the molecular characteristics of NSCLC in HIV-positive patients. This report describes two patients with HIV-associated NSCLC and rearrangements of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene. The disease followed an indolent course in both patients.
