The World

Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) is a rare disorder characterised by recurrent episodes of cholestatic jaundice. First described in 1959, BRIC has been reported in patients all over the world including of African descent. Here, we describe a case of a 21-year-old male with recurring episodes of cholestatic jaundice where we diagnosed BRIC and terminated an episode with rifampicin. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of BRIC diagnosed in Africa.

Feline dysautonomia is a devastating disease characterized by neuronal degeneration in autonomic ganglia that results in clinical signs related to dysfunction of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The cause is unknown and this disease has a poor prognosis and no definitive treatment. Most reports have been described in few countries around the world, but the prevalence may be underestimated in countries like Brazil. This study describes the progression and clinicopathological changes of dysautonomia in a 17-month-old female Brazilian shorthair cat.

Benign Recurrent Intrahepatic Cholestasis

Jaundice is a manifestation of many diseases both benign and malignant. Genetic progress allowed to distinguish the group of unknown earlier rare cholestatic jaundices, which are resulted from gene mutations. There are no described algorithms of their diagnosis or treatment. In this article case report of the patient with benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 is presented. There is also literature analysis of this theme.

Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinomas are rare tumors that contain both an exocrine and an endocrine component. Since the latest classification by the World Health Organization and with the aid of immunostaining, more mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinomas are now identified and diagnosed. Nonetheless, our knowledge of these tumors is still limited, notably concerning gastric variants, as the cases reported in the literature are very limited. The clinical and surgical treatment, including the chemotherapy schemes, the prognosis, and recurrence still represent challenges for the medical teams. We present the case of a 62-year-old woman. After an upper endoscopy revealed multiple polyps and a low-grade neuroendocrine tumor, a D2 radical gastrectomy was performed. A low output esophageal anastomotic leak was discovered in the postoperative period and successfully managed. Pathology revealed a gastric mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma, the first case of this kind reported in Ecuador. Patient is doing well and under constant surveillance up until her 13th postoperative month.

Mycobacterium Goodii

<em>Mycobacterium wolinskyi</em> is a rapidly growing mycobacterium, first described in 1999 as a member of the group <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis</em> (<em>Mycobacterium smegmatis</em>, <em>Mycobacterium wolinskyi</em> and <em>Mycobacterium goodii</em>). Only 19 case reports all over the world have been described on literature, none of them in Brazil. On this report, it is described one case of infection after a mammoplasty procedure performed in a private health service in the county of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, in 2009. The mycobacteria specie was identified using biochemical tests and sequencing the specific gene <em>rpoB</em>. To treat the infection by <em>Mycobacterium wolinskyi</em> it was necessary to combine antibiotics for a long period of time associated with surgical procedures of the breast abscesses.

Important Parasite

Oestrus ovis larvae, Linnaeus 1761 (Diptera: Oestridae) are obligatory parasites of the nasal cavity and sinuses of sheep and goats in many parts of the world. After inspection of a slaughtered goat in Kalat Naderi region in Mashhad (East of Iran) in 2012, 25 larvae were observed within the horns without any larvae being present in the sinuses. The larvae were identified morphologically as those of Oestrus ovis. Oestrosis is a widespread myiasis which may severely impair the health of small ruminants. Oestrus ovis larvae are also responsible for causing human ophthalmomyiasis, and this infection is often misdiagnosed as acute conjunctivitis. Oestrus ovis is an economically important parasite of nasal cavities and the adjoining sinuses in sheep and goats worldwide. It causes losses in meat, wool and milk production. To the author’s knowledge, this is the first recorded case of horn infestation in goats by the larvae of Oestrus ovis in Iran without the sinuses being affected.

Tonsillar Metastasis

AbstractMetastatic carcinoma of the palatine tonsil is rare, with only 92 cases reported in the world literature. We report a case of tonsillar metastasis from the colon. This is an unusual case not only because it is the first case report of tonsillar metastasis from this site but also because the tonsillar secondary is the first sign of the primary disease.

Equine grass sickness (EGS) is a degenerative polyneuropathy affecting postganglionic parasympathetic and sympathetic neurons. The major clinical signs relate to dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract and the condition is frequently fatal. EGS has been reported in different parts of the world including Europe. This paper describes the first case of equine dysautonomia in the Czech Republic. The ante mortem diagnosis was based on typical clinical signs and a positive phenylephrine eye-drop test and was confirmed at necropsy following observation of pathognomic histopathological lesions in the enteric neural system of the ileum. &nbsp;
