Large Subcapsular Hematoma of the Liver Due to Faja Corset: A Rare Case ReportMinhas, Sheharyar, Minhas, Ahmed, Malik, Maira, Sumanam, Phaniram 01 December 2020 (has links)
Background: Subcapsular hematoma of the liver is a potentially life-threatening but extremely rare condition. It is often caused by a blunt trauma or other predisposing conditions such as a liver tumor, intra-tumor hemorrhage, surgery, preeclampsia, liver biopsy, and hemodialysis. Predisposing causes of liver hematoma include its large size and proximity to fixed structures. To date, there have been no reported cases of subcapsular liver hematoma caused by tight clothing such as corsets. Our case report is about an extremely rare case of subcapsular hematoma of the liver caused by wearing a tight faja corset in a young healthy female. Case presentation: A forty-five-year-old Spanish female without any underlying health problems presented with sudden onset epigastric and right upper quadrant abdominal pain after wearing a faja corset the night prior to the hospital presentation. CT abdomen was noted for subcapsular hematoma of the liver. Her symptoms persisted and repeat CT abdomen showing worsening of the liver hematoma. Patient had interventional radiology (IR) guided drainage and was subsequently discharged home. Conclusions: Subscapular liver hematomas need to be considered in patients presenting with acute onset abdominal pain after wearing certain tight clothing. The necessity of an early and accurate diagnosis is vital for management as hemodynamically stable patients can be managed conservatively. Our patient was managed with IR-guided aspiration drainage of the hematoma. Surgery can be considered a last resort in case of life-threatening hemodynamic instability, peritoneal signs, free abdominal fluid, and failure of arterial embolization. Our case highlights the importance of early recognition of traumatic subcapsular hematomas to prevent life-threatening complications.

Rapid and Temporary Improvement of Depression and Anxiety Observed Following Niraparib Administration: A Case ReportJewett, Benjamin E., Miller, Merry N., Ligon, Libby A., Carter, Zachary, Mohammad, Ibrahim, Ordway, Gregory A. 15 April 2020 (has links)
Background: Cancer patients are disproportionately affected by generalized anxiety and major depression. For many, current treatments for these conditions are ineffective. In this case report, we present a serendipitous case of anxiety and depression improvement following administration of the poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor niraparib.
Case presentation: A 61-year old woman with a 20-year history of mild depression developed recurrent ovarian carcinoma and was placed on niraparib for maintenance chemotherapy. With the original onset of ovarian cancer, she experienced an episode of major depression that was resolved with sertraline. After recurrence of ovarian cancer, she experienced a recurrence of major depression and a new onset of generalized anxiety that failed to completely respond to multiple medications. After beginning niraparib therapy the patient noticed a rapid resolution of the symptoms of her anxiety and depression, an effect that was limited to 10-14 days. Due to bone marrow suppression, the patient was taken off and restarted on niraparib several times. Each discontinuation of niraparib resulted in return of her depression and anxiety, while each recontinuation of niraparib resulted in an improvement in her mood and anxiety.
Conclusions: This case demonstrates rapid and temporary improvement of anxiety and depression following niraparib administration. There is ample preclinical data that PARP signaling may play a role in psychiatric illness. A small amount of indirect data from clinical trials also shows that niraparib may have psychiatric benefits. Further research on PARP inhibition and its potential psychoactive effects is sorely needed.

Classic Kaposi’s sarcoma with multifocal gastrointestinal involvement. A case reportRonquillo, Andrea Carlin, Sánchez, Víctor Aguilar, Encinas, Carlos A.García, Hinojosa, Paul Gómez, Valdivia, José Luis Pinto, Silva-Caso, Wilmer 01 December 2020 (has links)
Although intestinal involvement occurs in more than half of the cases with KS that are HIV positive, it is uncommon in the classical form, as it occurs in approximately 10% of the patients. We present the case of a 60-year-old male patient with a one-year disease time characterized by having violaceous lesions on the feet and the hands, slightly pruritic and 2 months of epigastralgia and constipation with weight loss of approximately 12 percent of his total body weight. In the physical examination multiple violaceous papule-like lesions are shown on the hands and the feet, some coalescing to form plaques. Laboratory tests revealed a mild normocytic normocytic anemia, the serology for viral hepatitis B and C was negative, HIV negative and ELISA test too. An upper endoscopy was performed and multiple maculopapular and erythematous-violaceous lesions were observed in the esoph-agus, the stomach and the duodenum. In the colonoscopy, multiple lesions with similar characteristics in the ileum, throughout the colon and in the rectum were recognized. The biopsy result was compatible with the KS in all lesions and it was confirmed with the positive HVV-8 immunohis-tochemistry. This case highlights the likelihood of presenting GI SK in elderly patients with gastrointestinal compromise and cutaneous findings, HIV negatives as well as the need to realize an adequate discarding by performing endoscopic studies with the biopsies to optimize treatment. / Revisión por pares

Case Report: Treatment of a Comorbid Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder With PsychostimulantsDogan-Sander, Ezgi, Strauß, Maria 31 March 2023 (has links)
Introduction: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common disease in
childhood and adolescence. In about 60% of pediatric patients, the symptoms persist
into adulthood. Treatment guidelines for adult ADHD patients suggestmultimodal therapy
consisting of psychostimulants and psychotherapy.Many adult ADHD patients also suffer
frompsychiatric comorbidities, among others obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). The
treatment of the comorbidity of ADHD and OCD remains challenging as the literature is
sparse. Moreover, the impact of psychostimulants on obsessive–compulsive symptoms
is still unclear.
Case Presentation: Here, we report on a 33-year-old patient with an OCD who was
unable to achieve sufficient remission under long-term guideline-based treatment for
OCD. The re-examination of the psychological symptoms revealed the presence of adult
ADHD as a comorbid disorder. The patient has already been treated with paroxetine and
quetiapine for the OCD. Due to the newly established diagnosis of ADHD, extendedrelease
methylphenidate (ER MPH) was administered in addition to a serotonin reuptake
inhibitor. After a dose of 30mg ER MPH, the patient reported an improvement in both the
ADHD and the obsessive–compulsive symptoms. After discharge, the patient reduced
ER MPH without consultation with a physician due to subjectively described side effects.
The discontinuation of medication led to a renewed increase in ADHD and obsessive–
compulsive symptoms. The readjustment to ER MPH in combination with sertraline and
quetiapine thereafter led to a significant improvement in the compulsive symptoms again.
Conclusion: The present case shows that in ADHD and comorbid
obsessive–compulsive disorder, treatment with psychostimulants can improve the
obsessive–compulsive symptoms in addition to the ADHD-specific symptoms. To our
knowledge, this is only the second case report describing a treatment with ER MPH
for an adult patient with OCD and ADHD comorbidity in the literature. Further research,
especially randomized controlled trials, is needed to standardize treatment options.

A 15-Year-Old Female Presenting With Traumatic Diaphragmatic Hernia One Year After a Car AccidentWinstead, Raymond C., Kumar, Varun 01 April 2022 (has links)
Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (TDH) is a known complication in patients with abdominal injuries. Delayed TDH, which presents long after the traumatic event, is a rare subset and is often missed upon initial presentation. We discuss a case involving a 15-year-old female who presented with persistent nausea, vomiting, and epigastric pain and was subsequently diagnosed with TDH via chest x-ray, later confirmed by CT scan. Further investigation of the patient's history revealed a motor vehicle accident one year prior in which the patient sustained an injury to the left chest. A chest x-ray at that time did not show signs of a diaphragmatic hernia. Surgical evaluation of the diaphragmatic defect further supported previous trauma as the mechanism of injury. Our patient's presentation is particularly interesting considering the lack of TDH reported in the pediatric population, as well as the presenting complaints being primarily gastrointestinal rather than respiratory.

Bezpečnostní charakteristiky řidičů seniorů z pohledu bezpečnosti silničního provozu / Characteristics of Old-Age Drivers in Terms of Road Traffic SafetyLukesová, Dominika January 2017 (has links)
The aim of this work is to evaluate current procedures and to refine assessment of impact connected to the drivers' age and traffic accidents. The theoretical part describes senior drivers, traffic accident rate of seniors and decreased ability to drive influenced by age. The practical part is case report of traffic accidents caused by senior drivers, measuring reaction time and the evaluation of these measurements. I have developed some proposals for seniors to prevent the risk of the occurrence of traffic accidents.

Case Report: Personalized Therapeutical Approaches with Lenalidomide in Del(5q): A Case SeriesStein, Anna, Kubasch, Anne Sophie, Haferlach, Claudia, Platzbecker, Uwe 08 June 2023 (has links)
Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) with del(5q) represents a unique WHO entity, which is
often treated with lenalidomide according to standard clinical practice. Guidelines
concerning treatment duration have thus far not been implemented, but rather
comprise an indefinite therapy until loss of response. This review presents three red
blood cell (RBC) transfusion-dependent MDS with del(5q) cases, starting with one rare
case with an unbalanced translocation t(2;5), involving the breakpoint of del(5q) and loss
of the 5q15-5q31 region. To the best of our knowledge, no comparable case has been
described before with a response to lenalidomide. Strikingly, treatment-induced and
maintained cytogenetic complete remission (cCR) in this patient. Furthermore, we report
two cases of classical del(5q), in which lenalidomide was interrupted after a short period of
lenalidomide therapy at the time cCR was achieved. Despite drug holiday cCR was
maintained for seven and nine years, respectively. Then del(5q) re-emerged in the
absence of novel molecular aberrations and re-treatment with lenalidomide could again
achieve cCR in both cases. Together, this series presents three cases of personalized
therapy of MDS with del(5q)
