Purpose A case study of the Wales Higher Education Libraries Forum (WHELF) project to procure and implement a shared library management system (LMS) for all universities in Wales, together with the National Health Service Libraries in Wales and the National Library of Wales. In particular, the purpose of this paper is to explore the drivers to this collaboration, outline the benefits achieved and the framework to realise further benefits. Design/methodology/approach Case study review of the process, together with a review of literature on consortia and LMSs. Findings WHELF has developed into a more mature consortium through procuring and implementing a shared LMS. The process has delivered tangible benefits and is driving more work to realise further benefits. Research limitations/implications As the WHELF Shared LMS project is only nearing the end of the implementation phase, many of the anticipated operational benefits cannot be reported. Practical implications Useful case study for other consortia or potential consortia. Originality/value WHELF is in vanguard of consortia developments in the UK, and this is the first case study of the project.

Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is predominantly a non-aggressive benign tumour. Cases of more aggressive AMLs are present in the literature. We present 2 cases of aggressive AML behaviour. The first case is an AML with vascular extension in a young female and the second case is of AML found in regional lymph nodes in a female with a left renal AML and renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract Purpose A case of hepatotoxicity likely due to use of risperidone and paliperidone is reported. Summary A 23-year-old man with schizophrenia was admitted to an inpatient psychiatric unit after an exacerbation of mental illness secondary to medication nonadherence. During 13 days of treatment with risperidone, the patient’s liver enzyme levels rose sharply, so antipsychotic therapy was switched to oral paliperidone. After a 5-day downward trend in liver enzyme levels, a dose of intramuscular paliperidone was administered to augment oral paliperidone therapy. After 10 days of paliperidone use, abnormally high liver enzyme levels were again noted; both oral and intramuscular paliperidone therapy were discontinued and haloperidol was initiated, with complete resolution of liver enzyme abnormalities within approximately 4 weeks. Scoring of this case using the algorithm of Naranjo et al indicated probable associations between risperidone use and hepatotoxicity (a score of 7) and paliperidone use and hepatotoxicity (a score of 8). To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing a patient who developed hepatotoxicity during risperidone use that did not remit with a switch to paliperidone therapy. Conclusion Findings of this case suggest that patients who develop hepatotoxicity with use of risperidone may also do so with paliperidone use; this, in turn, suggests that both risperidone and its metabolite are capable of causing hepatotoxicity. Patients who develop hepatotoxicity in response to risperidone or paliperidone therapy may benefit from treatment with an alternative antipsychotic with a different chemical structure.

OBJECTIVE: To report and describe the apparent first case of acute oculogyric crisis following administration of pentazocine, and to discuss the possible mechanism for this reaction. DATA SOURCES/CASE SUMMARY: Patient case and relevant review of literature. The patient, a 39-year-old woman, developed acute oculogyric crisis following administration of Talacen (pentazocine and acetaminophen) for pain relief. The crisis resolved after discontinuation of the medication and administration of intravenous diphenhydramine 50 mg. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the temporal relationship of drug administration to occurrence of the event, pentazocine is implicated as the cause of this acute oculogyric crisis. A plausible mechanism for precipitation of this crisis is the agonism of pentazocine on sigma opiate receptors, with postulated subsequent modulation of dopamine receptors.

AbstractSirenomelia, or the Mermaid Syndrome, is a very rare congenital anomaly. It is associated with varying degrees of fusion of lower limb bones, giving them the appearance of a “mermaid.” It is almost always associated with other birth defects, such as, renal abnormalities, genital anomalies, and cardiac anomalies. We report a case of sirenomelia associated with bilateral multicystic dysplastic kidneys along with bilateral hydronephrosis, severe oligohydramnios, single umbilical artery, absent anal opening, and absent genitals. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case to be reported from our region.

Endovascular Approach

Background Treatment of target lesions when parent vessels are injured or diseased may be quite difficult. Moret et al have proposed an endovascular technique based on retrograde transcirculation approach through communicating vessels. Methods We report on the first Brazilian experience with retrograde endovascular approach, to the best of our knowledge. Results The two cases illustrate difficult anterograde approach techniques to treat basilar apex aneurysms. In the first case, tortuosity and angulation of both vertebral arteries associated to stenosis did not allow an anterograde approach. In the second case, after a SAH of a basilar apex aneurysm treated more than a decade ago with bilateral vertebral artery trapping, the patient underwent a retrograde approach. Conclusion For this approach, follow-up data are still lacking and complications are usually more common than in anterograde approach. Nevertheless, in select cases, it may be applied by experienced hands with acceptable risks when no other treatment option (surgical or endovascular) is available.

ABSTRACT Schwannoma is a benign, encapsulated tumor that is derived from schwann's cells. The most common site is parapharyngeal space of the neck; oropharyngeal occurrence is extremely rare. Fourteen year male boy presented with a history of difficulty in swallowing, more for solids for the last 8 months. The patient also had a change of voice for the last 5 months and was muffled in character. Examination showed single lobulated mass having smooth surface, of the size of approximately 5 × 4 cm and was arising from the tonsillolingual sulcus. The fine needle aspiration cytology from the lesion, reported to be schwannoma. The mass was excised completely under general anesthesia with the help of bipolar cautery. We report first case of schwannoma of tonsillolingual sulcus and also review the literature of the rare entity.

Histologic Types

Macrofollicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (MFVPTC) is one of the rarest histologic types of papillary carcinoma. This tumor may mimic an adenomatoid/colloid nodule or follicular neoplasm (macrofollicular type) both on histology and cytology. There are very few articles describing the cytologic features of MFVPTC. We report the cytologic findings of two surgically confirmed MFVPTC. The first case showed abundant thin colloid with moderate amount of follicular cells arranged in a honeycombed and syncytial pattern. Some but not all the follicular cells showed enlarged round to ovoid nuclei, overlapping nuclei, few nuclear grooves and rare intranuclear inclusions. The second case showed abundant thin colloid and predominantly benign appearing follicular cells with few overlapping nuclei, enlarged round to ovoid nuclei and rare nuclear grooves. No intranuclear inclusions were identified. A review of the literature was done and the cytologic findings of MFVPTC including our two cases were tabulated. The cytologic findings showed moderate to abundant thin with focally thick colloid in 75% of cases and sheet like arrangement of follicular cells in 76%. Although nuclear features such as chromatin clearing, overlapping and grooves were present in majority of cases, the quantity varied from rare to focal. Small to prominent nucleoli were present in all of the evaluable cases. Intranuclear inclusions were seen only in 45% of patients. Hence, the cytologic features of macrofollicular variant of papillary carcinoma though present can be subtle and intranuclear inclusions may not be present always.
