Type Of Anaesthesia

A case of compartment syndrome after haematoma block for a fracture of the distal radius is reported. This seems to be the first report of this complication. A review of the literature revealed seven other cases of compartmental ischaemia reported after fracture of the distal radius, and a haematoma block was used in all the cases where the type of anaesthesia was known. It is suggested that the additional fluid added for a haematoma block can precipitate a compartment syndrome, which may be more common than the scarcity of cases reported would indicate.

Kocuria Kristinae

Kocuria kristinae is opportunistic Gram-positive cocci from the family Micrococcaceae. It is usually considered part of the normal flora that rarely is isolated from clinical specimens. Here, we report a case of Kocuria kristinae bacteremia; to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report from Egypt.

Abstract Isavuconazole is a new triazole that is approved for primary therapy of invasive aspergillosis. We provide the first report of a patient with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) who was successfully treated with isavuconazole with marked improvement and minimal adverse effects. We further review the literature on antifungal management of ABPA.

Angiosarcomas rarely arise from schwannomas, but we describe here a case of angiosarcoma that arose from a remnant of a benign vestibular schwannoma that had been removed 10 years earlier. The patient was a 66-year-old man with no sign of neurofibromatosis. Although we attempted surgical resection, we could not totally remove the tumour. The patient died nine months after diagnosis, primarily as result of an abscess in the cerebellum and base of the skull. The histological diagnosis was confirmed by the immunohistochemical findings of positivity for CD34 antigen and S-100 protein in the resected tumour.A review of the literature revealed four other cases of angiosarcoma with schwannoma, all of which arose from an extracranial nerve. The present case is the first report of an angiosarcoma with schwannoma arising from an intracranial locus.

Simulation Parameters

Both long and irregular bones tend to form via endochondral ossification and are referred to as cartilage bones. Based upon the hypothesis that bone grows and forms as a semi-deterministic/semi-chaotic system, it should be possible to accurately model the osteogenesis of cartilage bones using a stochastic simulation. A thorough review of the literature has been undertaken enabling the cell types and tissues to be identified and a set of simulation rules to be established. The operation of the simulation has been evaluated longitudinally, reporting bone and blood vessel structures as the simulation develops to completion with fusion of the epiphyses; the simulation variability has been assessed by repeat runs using the same default conditions; and the effect of independently modifying key simulation parameters has been studied. This is thought to be the first report of a stochastic simulation of cartilage bone osteogenesis. The developed structures accurately follow the growth and form of irregular cartilage bones such as the vertebrae or calcaneus. The future of the simulation is now dependent primarily upon its potential utility in the field of bone metabolism and disease.
