When the man was brought in May 2012 the center for unrecognized diseases in Marburg, he had a weak heart, his eyesight and hearing consistently declining, he suffered from swollen lymph nodes and unexplained bouts of fever also plagued him conditional gastric acid regurgitation.
The team of doctors led by Professor Jürgen Schäfer crawled on his resume indicate possible causes of disease, but found nothing - except an operation in which the patient two new hip joints were used. The doctors remembered an episode of the TV series about the quirky and cynical Dr. House, which specializes in hopeless cases and medical mysteries and suspected a cobalt poisoning as the reason for severe disease. Blood tests confirmed the suspicion. The metal prosthesis has been replaced with a ceramic hip.
Shortly after the artificial hip had been replaced by the ceramic model, the cobalt and chromium levels were decreased in the blood and the patient's condition had "stabilized" said Schaefer. The man was slowly recovering. Fourteen months later, his heart had 40 percent of its power regained, hearing and vision, however, improved only very slowly.
Ko biết có thật hay ko.
