Review Of Literature

The isolated appendiceal Crohn’s disease without preceding bowel symptoms is a rare phenomenon, especially in older patients. In this case report, we present a 60-year-old female with isolated appendiceal Crohn’s disease presenting with acute appendicitis. She presented with classical features of appendicitis with elevated inflammatory markers. She underwent an appendectomy which showed an excessively swollen, oedematous, and reddish appendix with swelling extending to the base of the caecum. Histological evaluation was suggestive of Crohn’s disease, and subsequent colonoscopy was unremarkable. Following appendectomy, she was asymptomatic without any recurrence of disease. The atypical morphological appearance of the appendix should raise suspicion of Crohn’s disease. This case highlights the importance of histopathological analysis of the specimen, especially in abnormal clinical findings. The prognosis of such patients seems to be good, and additional treatment is rarely needed.

<p class="abstract">Polymorphic eruption of pregnancy (PEP), also known as pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy [PUPPP] is the most common of all the specific dermatoses of pregnancy. It is a benign, self-resolving, pruritic disorder of pregnancy, usually affecting primigravida during the last trimester of pregnancy or immediately postpartum. Its exact pathogenesis is still unknown, and its clinical presentations are variable. It may mimic many common dermatoses. In PEP, the histological findings are non-contributory and the laboratory results, including direct and indirect immunofluorescence are negative. Diagnosis mainly depends on clinical findings. Significant diagnostic confusion may occur with early lesions of pemphigoid gestationis, which needs to be differentiated from PEP as the former may have a bad fetal outcome. PEP is not associated with any fetal or maternal risk, and symptomatic treatment is all that is usually required. The awareness of this condition helps the physician recognize this entity, reassure the patient, and avoid unnecessary investigations. This review focuses on etiology, various clinical presentations, differential diagnosis, and management of PEP.</p>

Enteric duplications are rare congenital anomalies found anywhere from mouth to anus. Colonic duplications constitute about 13% of all enteric duplications. In this report a 6-year-old boy with chronic abdominal pain for a duration of last 2 years requiring intermittent hospital admissions was diagnosed as colonic duplication mimicking intestinal volvulus. Clinical findings are nonspecific and definitive diagnosis can only be made during surgical intervention and surgical treatment is advocated for all duplications. The topic is discussed under the light of relevant literature with a brief a brief literature review.

Abstract Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is a medical emergency, with mortality around 20%. It is characterized by crescent glomerulonephritis and progressive loss of kidney function, hematuria, and proteinuria. Its classification is given by immunofluorescence detection of antibodies against glomerular basement membrane (Anti-MBG), immunocomplexes, or pauci-immune pattern. Its etiology should be based on clinical findings, immunological profile, age, sex, and histopathological characteristics. We present a case of a 27-year-old woman with symptoms consistent with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and biopsy findings of a full-house kidney nephropathy, with an early fatal outcome. An association of low incidence, as it is a case with a full-house pattern, and an autoimmune profile for negative systemic lupus erythematosus makes this a rare case. ANCA-associated vasculitis with full-house kidney disease was diagnosed, an unusual condition with up to 3% presentation and few reports in the literature, highlighting the importance of its reporting and contribution to the literature.

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-US">Crossed renal ectopia is one of the rarest urinary system anomalies. It is more often seen at autopsy than in clinical practice. Most cases of renal ectopia remain asymptomatic during life and are diagnosed incidentally. Renal ultrasonography, intravenous pyelography, computerized tomography, and renal scintigraphy (technetium-based tests) are the imaging methods used for diagnosis. Demonstration of crossed renal ectopia is important because it is a predisposing factor for obstruction, infection, and neoplasia of the urinary system. We report male patient who had unremarkable clinical findings. He had left-to-right inferior crossed renal ectopia with fusion. Surgeons should be aware of ectopic and fused kidneys to minimize perioperative complications because of the uncertain anatomy.</span></p>

ABSTRACT Cysticercosis, an infection with the larval form of pork tape worm, Taenia solium, commonly presents with multiple muscular cysts or CNS involvement. Due to vague clinical presentation and unfamiliarity of clinicians with this entity, it is difficult to diagnosis when seen as an isolated cyst. Traditional treatment is surgical excision and a course of deworming agents. We present two cases of isolated muscular cysticercosis diagnosed by USG, MRI and blood tests, who responded successfully to oral medication without need of operative intervention. Case reports A 45-year-old male patient had a tender 2 week swelling of 4 × 5 cm on medial right proximal calf. A 26-year male presented with discomfort and diffuse 6 cm swelling at inner left forearm. In both ultrasound showed characteristic hypoechoic cyst with hyperechoic scolex, and MRI revealed isolated cyst surrounded by inflamed muscles. FNAC confirmed cysticercosis, and the patient responded to oral albendazole (3 weeks) with oral steroids (2 weeks). Conclusion Although rare, possibility of isolated muscular cysticercosis should always be considered in any small musculoskeletal soft tissue swelling presenting with nonspecific clinical findings. Both our patients responded to medical therapy and were disease free, as confirmed at 3 months by follow-up MRI. These cysts can be confidently diagnosed on the basis of ultrasound and MRI, and can be very well-treated nonsurgically with an oral drug regimen consisting of albendazole and steroid.

Objective: to assess effectiveness and safety of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine on the treatment of COVID-19. Study desing: a systematic review of literature was performed in two databases; studies were included if they had as intervention use of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine and reported outcomes on laboratorial or clinical findings or description of side effects. Results: 38 studies were included; of those, only one fulfilled inclusion criteria and were included in this review. This study has important methodological issues and only reported viral load, but any clinical outcomes. Conclusions: Many ongoing clinical trials will provide new evidences about the use of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to the treatment of COVID-19. Current evidence do not support its use on clinical practice.

Septal reconstruction has many needs and usages. Nowadays, people are very concerned about looking and would like to correct them. Septal reconstruction has been immensely used in the field of cosmetics. A successful septoplasty would lead us to know about the pathology of the septum by which we can avoid further complications. It would be further significant in nasal obstruction or difficulty in breathing. Deviation of the nasal septum can also be corrected by septal   reconstruction by various techniques used for septoplasty. Complete septal reconstruction is the best method for extreme S-shaped and wave-like deviations or multiple fractures. The septoplasty is performed endonasal for caudal septal deviation. Traction sutures to rectify the caudal septum deviation is another type of surgery. Septoplasty usually opens the way for all other rhinoplasty procedures, as a straight, stable septum reflects the attractiveness and functionality of the nose. The patient's history and the surgeon's expertise play a favorable outcome. In conjunction with other nose procedures, such as cosmetic rhinoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery, Septoplasty is frequently done to alleviate nasal airway obstruction or headaches induced by rhinology irritation produced by touch. Endoscopic septoplasty requires the same amount of time and delivers equal, if not better, results than previous procedures. Visualization is vastly improved by endoscopic technology. Isolated deviation, spurs, perforations, and contact sites are examples of distinct septal disorders that can be treated individually using this procedure. In this review article, the importance of traction sutures is mentioned. The article gives us an idea about Septoplasty and how it can be achieved, its complications, risk factors, and a few postoperative points.

Introduction. Granulomatous lung diseases comprise a large family sharing the histological denominator of granuloma formation. Review of literature. From a diagnostic standpoint, epithelioid granulomas, are considered to be nonspecific lesions, they can be associated with infection, immunological conditions or they may be idiopathic. The precise diagnosis of granulomatous disorders can be readily apparent on clinical and radiological ground alone in some cases or extremely difficult even after histological examination of large surgical samples in a limited number of conditions. No single and specific diagnostic test has been developed so far. To achieve a timely diagnosis and help reduce associated morbidity and mortality, it is essential to recognize both the typical and the atypical manifestations of the disease. Differential diagnosis and management demand a skilful interpretation of clinical findings and pathological evidence. Conclusion. A clinicopathological synthesis provides the strongest foundation.
