Clinical characteristics of congenital toxoplasmosis with poor outcome in Japan: A nationwide survey and literature review

Endometriosis is a common disease, the diagnosis and treatment of which is still a matter of debate. One of the main symptoms of endometriosis -pelvic pain is a particular problem due to the difficulties in identifying the cause and the lack of sufficient effect from surgical and medical treatment. The literature review presents current data on the prevalence, clinical characteristics and methods of individualized therapy in patients with pelvic pain established or presumably associated with endometriosis.

Child Patient

The ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a mixed odontogenic tumor, with characteristics of ameloblastic fibroma, presenting enamel and dentin, which occurs more frequently in individuals aged 5 to 17 years. This paper reports na extensive case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the mandible of a 3-year-old patient, discussed in comparison to cases selected from a brief literature review on the clinical characteristics, Evolution and therapeutic options for this lesion. In the last years, there was no consensus in the literature concerning its etiopathogenesis and classification, yet recently the AFO was classified as a developing odontoma. This case is in accordance with the 7 cases reported in the literature of AFO in the mandible of children aged 10 years or younger, especially concerning the lesion pattern and evolution and treatment adopted. The patient did not present relapse and exhibited local bone regeneration at the 3-year follow-up.

In Pregnancy

Uterine prolapse complicating pregnancy is rare. Two cases are presented here: one patient had uterine prolapse at both her second and third pregnancy, and the other developed only once prolapse during pregnancy. This report will analyze etiology, clinical characteristics, complication, and treatment of uterine prolapse in pregnancy. Routine gynecologic examination should be carried out during pregnancy. If uterine prolapse occurred, conservative treatment could be used to prolong the gestational period as far as possible. Vaginal delivery is possible, but caesarean section seems a better alternative when prolapsed uterus cannot resolve during childbirth.

The Relationship

Background and purpose: The outcomes of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in aged patients are more severe than those in non-aged patients. There are few reports about the relationship between the age and the effect of perioperative care for SAH patients. We performed a nationwide survey in Japan to determine the relationship between perioperative care and SAH outcomes in aged and non-aged patients. Methods: We analyzed 17,343 subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients treated with clipping or coiling in 579 hospitals who participated in the J-ASPECT study. Data between 2010 and 2013 were obtained from the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination Database. We stratified patients into two groups according to their age (aged group >75 y.o., n=3885; non-aged group < 75 y.o., n=13,458) and analyzed the association between perioperative care and poor outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 3-6 at the time of discharge). With respect to perioperative care, we evaluated time from onset to surgery (days), treatment (clipping or coiling), and drugs delivered after surgery (fasudil hydrochloride, ozagrel sodium, cilostazol, statin, EPA, edaravone). Results: In the non-aged group, coiling (OR=0.84; P<0.01) and treatment with fasudil hydrochloride (OR=0.59; P<0.01), statin (OR=0.83; P<0.01), and EPA (OR=0.83; P<0.01) significantly improved the outcomes and cilostazol treatment tended to improve the outcomes (OR=0.91; P=0.07). In both groups, edaravone treatment was associated with poor outcome (aged group: OR=2.34, P<0.01; non-aged group: OR=2.33, P<0.01). Although no factor that could improve outcome in the aged group was identified, JCS scores less than 30, coiling (OR=0.80; P=0.03), and EPA treatment (OR=0.74; P=0.02) were statistically significant prognosis improvement factors. Conclusion: Coiling and treatment with fasudil hydrochloride, statins, and EPA improved outcomes of non-aged patients. Although perioperative care did not improve the outcome of aged SAH patients, in cases of relatively mild SAH, perioperative care had the potential to improve the outcome.

OBJECTIVEThis nationwide study was organized to evaluate the clinical characteristics, especially the annual detected rate, of pediatric intracranial arteriovenous (AV) shunts such as brain AV malformations (BAVMs), pial AV fistulas (PAVFs), vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations (VGAMs), and dural AV fistulas (DAVFs) in Japan.METHODSParticipation invitation emails for the study were sent to all members of the Japanese Society for Neuroendovascular Therapy and the Japanese Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, totaling 4123 physicians. Excel files were attached to the emails to collect clinical data on patients aged 5 years old or younger with intracranial AV shunts at each hospital in the 5-year period from 2012 to 2016.RESULTSRepresentative physicians from 209 hospitals returned Excel files containing the patient data. Thirty-four hospitals reported on 72 patients with intracranial AV shunts. Among this cohort, 24 patients (33%) had BAVMs, 22 (31%) had PAVFs, 16 (22%) had VGAMs, and 10 (14%) had DAVFs. Male predominance (70%) was observed among all types of AV shunts. Most PAVFs (73%), VGAMs (88%), and DAVFs (100%) were diagnosed in patients younger than 1 year, especially neonates, whereas most BAVMs (92%) were diagnosed in children older than 1 year. In the patients older than 1 year, BAVMs were relatively common, and VGAMs and DAVFs were rare.CONCLUSIONSThe annual detected rates of BAVMs, PAVFs, VGAMs, and DAVFs in patients 5 years old or younger were 0.0775, 0.0710, 0.0517, and 0.0323 per 100,000 persons, respectively. In neonates and infants, VGAM, DAVF, and PAVF were relatively common, but BAVMs were extremely rare.
