Within the past decade, Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) has been recognised for the first time in four countries. Our understanding of the epidemiology, clinical aspects, laboratory diagnosis and control measures for EHF has improved considerably as a result of the outbreaks in these countries and the re-emergence that has occurred in another. The coordinated international responses to several of the large EHF outbreaks serve as models for controlling epidemics of other communicable diseases. This report is a chronological overview of the EHF outbreaks in Africa during the past decade, including the recent epidemics in Gabon and the Republic of the Congo, and highlights new discoveries and some of the remaining challenges.

Adequate Management

In the past, osteomyelitis was frequent and characterized by a prolonged course, treatment response uncertainty, and occasional disfigurement. Today, the disease is less common; it is believed that the decline in prevalence may be attributed to increased availability of antibiotics and improvement of overall health patterns. Currently, more common osteomyelitis variants are seen, namely, osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ). Osteomyelitis, ORN, and BRONJ can present with similar symptoms, signs, and radiographic findings. However, each condition is a separate entity, with different treatment approaches. Thus, accurate diagnosis is essential for adequate management and improved patient prognosis. The aim of this paper is to report three cases of inflammatory lesions of the jaws—osteomyelitis, ORN, and BRONJ—and to discuss their etiology, clinical aspects, radiographic findings, histopathological features, treatment options, and preventive measures.

Microscopic Evaluation

Background: Cases of gliomas coexisting with multiple sclerosis (MS) have been described over the past few decades. However, due to the complex clinical and radiological traits inherent to both entities, this concurrent phenomenon remains difficult to diagnose. Much has been debated about whether this coexistence is incidental or mirrors a poorly understood neoplastic phenomenon engaging glial cells in the regions of demyelination. Case Description: We present the case of a 41-year-old patient diagnosed with a left-sided frontal contrast enhancing lesion initially assessed as a tumefactive MS. Despite systemic treatment, the patient gradually developed signs of mass effect, which led to decompressive surgery. The initial microscopic evaluation demonstrated the presence of MS and oligodendroglioma; the postoperative evolution proved complex due to a series of MS-relapses and tumor recurrence. An ulterior revaluation of the samples for the purpose of this report showed an MS-concurrent anaplastic astrocytoma. We describe all relevant clinical aspects of this case and review the medical literature for possible causal mechanisms. Conclusion: Although cases of concurrent glioma and MS remain rare, we present a case illustrating this phenomenon and explore a number of theories behind a potential causal relationship.

This new textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific and clinical aspects of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Split into eight sections—history, diagnosis, and epidemiology; pathogenesis; clinical presentation; disease assessment; impact on life; non-drug treatments; drug treatments; and management and outcomes—it collects the contemporary ideas about RA and explains the revolutionary changes that have taken place over the past two decades, and indicates areas of future research. Witten by leading clinicians and scientists in the field, each chapter gives a detailed background, key recent advances, areas of doubt, and future directions of research.

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the profile of patients undergoing hip and knee replacement during two years, and to compare the data obtained with the literature. Methods: A total of 323 medical records were reviewed to analyze the perioperative data of patients submitted to hip and knee replacement. Results: Osteoarthritis was the main indication for both procedures and male patients were heavier than females (p < 0.05). Hypertension was the prevalent disease among patients. Blood loss was more frequent in knee surgery than in the hip. Conclusions: The profile of patients undergoing total arthroplasty improved substantially over the past decade due to shorter hospital stay, lower risk of thromboembolic events and no infection as compared to previous reports.

Cochlear implants are becoming available to an increasing proportion of the deaf and hard-of-hearing population. As interest in and success with cochlear implants has grown, more and more private practice clinics are incorporating them into their scopes of practice. Over the past 2 years, the first 2 authors of this article have been heavily involved in developing cochlear implant programs in separate otolaryngology private practices. A recent conversation about this process revealed several common experiences and lessons learned. During these same 2 years, the third author began teaching the cochlear implant course at the University of Utah. Although her audiology and speech science background gave her extensive knowledge of the science behind cochlear implants, she had no clinical experience with them. The first author took this course the first time the third author taught it, and the experiences and insights she shared with the third author during and since the course have been an important component of the third author’s personal education in the clinical aspects of cochlear implants. In this article, the first 2 authors share 5 things we wish we had known when first beginning their work with cochlear implants.

Based on an experience of 191 cases of leukemia in the past 13 years, the authors have prepared a well-organized book dealing with the essential features of leukemia in childhood. As would be expected the bulk of cases are the acute leukemias which they term acute leukocytic, undifferentiated or paraleukoblastosis; a small number are acute promyelocytic, chronic myelocytic and rare types. In common with the experience from other clinics the incidence of leukemia rose from 0.159% in 1946 to 0.546% in 1956. The authors have written a readable and timely text dealing concisely with the following subjects: pathologic anatomy and hematology, clinical aspects, individual organ changes, leukemia and infection, differential diagnosis, the newer knowledge relating to etiology and therapy, metabolic aspects, prognosis and psychologic aspects in management. In each chapter current information has been assembled, this being especially noticeable in discussion of etiology and therapy.

Abstract Background: Nasopharyngeal metastasis from colorectal cancer has never been reported in the past. Case presentation: In this paper, we establish a case report of a 79-year-old man suffering from adenocarcinoma of the rectum with distant metastases to the liver, lung, and nasopharynx. Over the past 7 years, he received radical surgery for rectal cancer (miles surgery), chemotherapy, hepatectomy, and pneumonectomy. Conclusions: We equally discuss the histopathological and clinical aspects associated with this condition.
