Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors mainly distributed in the dermis of the fingers and palm of the hand. A neuroma of the Pacinian corpuscle is a rare and extremely painful condition with a few cases reported in the literature, most of them, associated with local or repetitive trauma. We present a 71-year-old man with history of pain and swelling on his left index without history of previous trauma initially diagnosed as tenosynovitis resistant to conservative treatment in which we observed, directly in the subcutaneous plane, spherical, gray and in clusters lesions closer to the collateral nerve which were described by the pathological study as neuroma of the Pacinian corpuscles.

Cause Of Pain

Dysmenorrhea is a painful condition that occurs during menstruation that can interfere with activities, causing pain in the lower abdomen, which spreads to the lower back and legs. The incidence of dysmenorrhea is experienced by young women around the world on average. The cause of pain is due to an imbalance of the hormone progesterone in the blood. Several factors triggering the occurrence of dysmenorrhea include the first menstruation at an early age, endocrine factors, psychological disorders, allergic, long menstrual periods, heavy menstrual blood flow, smoking, a history of obesity and alcohol consumption. Efforts to overcome dysmenorrhea can be done by non-pharmacological and pharmacological methods. This study aims to describe the incidence of dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls. This study used a descriptive survey method with a questionnaire that was distributed via google form to 73 students of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Pasir Pengaraian University. The results showed that the average menarche at the age of 13-16 years was 39 people (53.43%), the most experienced dysmenorrhea was 52 people (71.23%), the efforts made to reduce dysmenorrhea with rest were 35 people. (47.95 %) and 38 people (52.05%) who tried to reduce the feeling of dysmenorrhea, respondents used drugs to reduce dysmenorrhea, namely 26 respondents (35.62%). The conclusion of this study is that the average age of menarche for adolescent girl is 13-16 years, the majority experience dysmenorrhea, most of the adolescent girl make efforts to reduce dysmenorrhea pain with non-pharmacological and pharmacological methods.

Anterior Cruciate

SummaryOver a period of 14 years, three cats with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture were seen in our practice. In all, the rupture had occurred without a history of previous trauma. All were treated surgically. All died within a period of 14 days. The reason of death was in all cases cardiomyopathy. We now suggest that cats with rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament undergo an electrocardiographic recording and eventually an thoracic radiography before surgery is considered. We also suggest that cats with ACL rupture should preferably be treated conservatively.

The Right

A 67-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of pain in his right buttock and lower limb. MRI depicted right L5/S1 lateral recess stenosis requiring surgical treatment; however, preoperative CT showed an approximately 7 cm long, thin, rod-shaped structure in the rectum, which was ultimately determined to be an accidentally ingested toothpick. It was removed surgically 6 days after diagnosis, because right leg pain worsened rapidly. The pain disappeared thereafter, and the symptoms have not recurred since. The pain might have been localised to the right buttock and posterior thigh in the early stages because the fine tip of the toothpick was positioned to the right of the anterior ramus of the S2 spinal nerve. Although sacral plexus disorder caused by a rectal foreign body is extremely rare, physicians should be mindful to avoid misdiagnosis.

CASE HISTORY G.R. is a 7-year-old boy with spastic quadriplegia evident since birth and a seizure disorder for which he currently is being treated with phenobarbitol and phenytoin (diphenylhydantoin). His medical history includes a pathologic fracture of his right femur. At the time of his fracture, a radiograph of his femur was described as "markedly osteoporotic." He is currently being treated with 1200 IU of vitamin D. His diet as presented is balanced with respect to nutrients. Although spillage is not substantial, eating requires great effort, and each meal lasts approximately 1 hour. He is fed breakfast and supper at home by his mother and lunch in school. There is no history of pain with food intake, no vomiting, and no diarrhea. He weighs 14 kg (far below the 5th percentile), and his length is 112 (at the 5th percentile). His weight for height is far less than the 5th percentile. His mother is 157.5 cm (5 ft 2 in) tall and his father is 167.5 cm (5 ft 6 in) tall. His midarm circumference is 154 mm (less than the 5th percentile), his triceps skinfold is 5 mm (5th percentile), and his midarm muscle circumference is 138 mm (less than the 5th percentile).

BACKGROUND: Retroperitoneal lipoma is an extremely rare neoplasm. AIMS: The authors report a case of giant retroperitoneal lipoma in a 32-year-old white female, with a history of pain and an abdominal mass over a 2-year period. Total abdominal ultrasonography and barium enema showed a large mass located in the retroperitoneal space behind the ascending colon. Laparotomy showed a large encapsulated tumor measuring 20 x 13 x 10 cm and weighing 3.400 g. The histological study revealed a benign neoplasm of fatty cells. CONCLUSION: The patient remains well 17 years after surgery, without recurrentce of the disease.

Systemic Antibiotic Treatment

A 28-year-old male patient, presented with a one-week history of pain and itching on the skin of the left upper leg. Erythematous indurated, warm and painful on palpation, subcutaneous plaques and nodules were clinically observed, affecting the skin of the left upper leg, within a recent black-wolf tattoo. The diagnosis of traumatic panniculitis with superposed bacterial infection, provoked by a wolf tattoo was made.  The patient underwent 7-days systemic antibiotic treatment regimen and topical application of iodine povidone unguent under occlusion for 7 days. Significant alleviation of the subjective complaints was achieved within the first week, with a total clinical resolution of the symptoms. The role of the procedure as a source of trauma for subcutaneous inflammation (traumatic panniculitis) and the contamination of the equipment or the staff (infective panniculitis) in simultaneously triggering of the pathogenetic chain of the reported Wolf’s panniculitis could be present.
