Background: Malignant Mesothelioma (MM) is a rare but rapidly fatal and aggressive tumor of the pleura and peritoneum with limited knowledge of its natural history. Methods: 100 patients with histopathological MM diagnosis were included. The data obtained from patient files were recorded on standard forms, prepared in advance. Age, gender, hometown, residence, asbestos usage history, latent period between asbestos exposure and diagnosis, symptoms, symptom duration, diagnosis date, diagnostic method, localization, histopathological type, routine laboratory results, stage, karnofsky performance score (KPS), treatment regimen, pleurodesis, treatment response, date of death and survival times of patients were all recorded on the forms. Results: The mean age of patients 52.31±12.36 Yrs. 62 patients were male and 38 female. Environmental asbestos exposure was determined in 75.00% of patients At diagnosis, 76.00% patients had dyspnea; 71.00% weight loss; and 64.00% chest pain. A total of 48.00% patients were smokers. Mean survival time was found to be 9.3 months in our study. Conclusion: MM related to asbestos exposure is seen frequently in Southern Rajastan.

AbstractA 16-year-old male was admitted to the paediatric ICU with acute onset of vomiting, somnolence, and chest pain, and electrocardiogram showing 2nd degree heart block after ingesting an Aleurites moluccana (Candlenut) seed as a herbal weight loss supplement. Electrocardiogram showed progressively worsening heart block with down-sloping of the ST segments, resembling digoxin toxicity. After 2 days of ICU observation, his symptoms began to improve and eventually resolved. The side effects of herbal supplements are often unknown but by analysing cases such as these, physicians can develop a better understanding of these substances to help guide management.

Latent Tb Infection

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is most commonly known for its manifestations in the lungs; symptoms include fever and chest pain (retrosternal pain and/or dull intracapsular pain). In the reactivation stage of TB, typical symptoms may include cough, weight loss, fatigue, fever, night sweats, chest pain, dyspnea, and/or hemoptysis. Symptoms may remain undiagnosed for several years. Poverty, HIV, and drug resistance are major contributors to the resurging global TB epidemic. Two kinds of tests are used to detect TB: the tuberculin skin test or a TB blood test. These tests only tell you if a person has been infected with the bacteria. The do not differentiate between latent TB infection and active TB. This distinction clinically suspected when the clinical picture of active TB matches with initial investigations (such as acid-fast bacilli stains, chest x-ray, or CT) and is definitively confirmed by the growth of M. tuberculosis in a clinical specimen.
