ABSTRACT:Herpes zoster ophthalmicus can be complicated by a delayed ipsilateral cerebral angiitis which may cause infarction and a smoldering meningoencephalitis. We describe such a case treated successfully with steroids and acyclovir. It is important to consider the diagnosis of this disorder early since therapeutic intervention may prevent an otherwise high morbidity and mortality. Steroids may have to be continued for some time after clinical resolution, using the ESR as a guideline for decreasing dosages.

Β2 Integrins

ABSTRACT Sepsis remains medically challenging, with high morbidity and mortality. A novel intervention is urgently needed in the absence of specific, targeted therapy. Neutrophils act as double-edged swords in sepsis; they can help to eradicate microbes, but they also contribute to tissue injury. β2 integrins are critical adhesion molecules that regulate a number of neutrophil functions. β2 integrins consist of four members, namely, αLβ2, αMβ2, αXβ2, and αDβ2. Here, we review the role of each β2 integrin in neutrophils and sepsis and consider future direction for therapeutic intervention.

Management Challenge

Acute cardio-cerebral infarction is a rare circumstance characterized by high morbidity and mortality. It represents a management challenge due to the difficulty to choose which condition needs to be treated first. We describe the therapeutic challenge of a patient presenting with ischemic stroke and ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Keywords: Ischemic stroke; STEMI; cardio-cerebral infarction; myocardial infarction; haemodynamic stroke.

Therapeutic Algorithm

Oesophagectomy is being used in treatment of several oesophageal diseases, most commonly in treatment of oesophageal cancer. It is a major surgical procedure that may result in various complications. One of the most severe complications is anastomotic dehiscence between the gastric conduit and the oesophageal remnant. Anastomotic dehiscence after esophagectomy is directly linked to high morbidity and mortality. We propose a therapeutic algorithm of this complication based on published literature and our experience by retrospective evaluationof 164 patients who underwent oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer. Anastomotic dehiscence was present in 29 cases.
