Pulmonary Changes

Electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDXA) are found to be very useful tools for identification of etiologic agents in pneumoconiosis or interstitial pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and granulomatosis are frequently associated with occupational and environmental pollution. Numerous reports of pneumoconiosis in various occupations such as coal and gold miners are presented in the literature. However, there is no known documented case of pulmonary changes in workers in the sandpaper industry. This study reports a rare case of pulmonary granulomatosis containing deposits from abrasives of sandpaper diagnosed by using EDXA.

We report the first documented case of bicephaly in a chondrichthyan, the southern fiddler ray, Trygonorrhina dumerilii, in Australian waters. Females in the latter stages of pregnancy, as confirmed by ultrasound, were captured by hand in Swan Bay, Victoria (38.252°S, 144.616°E) in February 2013 and transported to aquaria. Up to 10 females gave birth in aquaria in early April 2013 to 11 neonates, one of which was a still-born, bicephalic neonate. Magnetic resonance imagery of the bicephalic neonate displayed the presence of two parallel vertebral columns running the entire length of the animal, diverging into two well formed heads. Morphological measurements were also made, comparing the bicephalic neonate to normal neonates. The cause of bicephaly is unknown, although congenital and environmental stressors during development may cause this condition.

Vestibular Toxicity

Introduction: Pentavalent antimonials are the first drug of choice in the treatment of tegumentary leishmaniasis. Data on ototoxicity related with such drugs is scarcely available in literature, leading us to develop a study on cochleovestibular functions. Case Report: A case of a tegumentary leishmaniasis patient, a 78-year-old man who presented a substantial increase in auditory threshold with tinnitus and severe rotatory dizziness during the treatment with meglumine antimoniate, is reported. These symptoms worsened in two weeks after treatment was interrupted. Conclusion: Dizziness and tinnitus had already been related to meglumine antimoniate. However, this is the first well documented case of cochlear-vestibular toxicity related to meglumine antimoniate.

Background. Allgrove Syndrome is a very rare genetic disease, which is inherited in an autosomal recessive way. The responsible gene is the AAAS, that encodes the protein ALADIN. It occurs most often in children of consanguineous parents. It is characterized by the classic triad of achalasia, alacrima, and adrenal insufficiency due to resistance to ACTH; the presence of two of the three previous manifestation events are required to establish the diagnosis. There is also a high frequency of the neurologic symptoms. Objective. Describe the clinical characteristics, age of presentation and evolution in 11 patients with Allgrove Syndrome. Methods. 11 clinical cases compatible with Allgrove Syndrome of presentation in childhood are retrospectively reviewed. Results. The average age at diagnosis was 5.9 years (range 1-16 years old). There was a predominance of the female sex (n = 7). The most common symptoms were postprandial vomiting and alacrima, present in 100% of the cases at the time of diagnosis. Adrenal insufficiency was not common; it was only documented in one patient. There was consanguinity between parents in 62.5% of the cases. Conclusions. Allgrove Syndrome is an uncommon cause of dysphagia, chronic vomiting and failure to grow in children. In case of any documented case of achalasia it is suggested to question in a directed way the presence of alacrima and adrenal insufficiency data such as seizures, hyperpigmentation of the skin and neurological alterations.

We report a 72-year-old patient with chronic diarrhoea and histologic evidence of gastrointestinal histoplasmosis. He had no history of HIV or of taking immunosuppressive drugs. The patient was found to be a carrier of Human T-lymphotropic virus-1, a condition associated with inflammatory, lymphoproliferative, and opportunistic infectious diseases. To our knowledge, there are only three previous cases reporting this coinfection and this is the first documented case with gastrointestinal involvement.

Documented Case

In this paper, the investigators report a well documented case of malignant histiocytosis (MH) with a t(2;5)(p23;q35) translocation. A breakpoint in 5q35 appears to be specific, either for the disease or for a subclass of the disease. Additional cases of MH with cytogenetics are needed. This will help to determine if one class of MH or several subclasses can be defined by cytogenetic anomaly(ies).
