With extensive loss of life and well-being seen since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the initiation of vaccinations has come with enormous hope towards the end of this pandemic. Detailed discussions regarding the safety and efficacy of these vaccines led to their approval. With such success, there have also been reports of vaccine-associated adverse events—allergic reactions, anaphylaxis, immune thrombocytopenia, and thrombosis. We discuss and report the first case of a healthy young adult male developing extensive thrombosis, after receiving the Ad26.COV2.S (Johnson & Johnson/Janssen) vaccine.

Introduction: Smoking has adverse effects on the body such as various types of cancer, coronary heart diseases, stroke, peripheral vascular diseases, and oral changes including decreased taste sensation. There have been many studies on the effects of smoking on taste threshold, but specific studies in a group of young adult males and data on the frequency of tongue cleaning habits have not been reported. This study aims to determine the salty taste threshold and tongue cleaning habits in healthy young adult male smokers. Methods: This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study, and the subjects were taken by consecutive sampling. The criteria for the subjects were healthy males, aged 18-24 years old, who had a habit of smoking 10 cigarettes or more per day and had smoked for more than 1 year. A questionnaire was conducted including data on tongue cleaning habits before measuring the salt taste threshold using various concentrations of sodium chloride solution which are 0,012M, 0,014M, and 0,016M.

20 healthy young adult male rhesus monkeys were bled 3 times a week in an attempt to induce an anaemia and a depletion of iron stores. A mean haemoglobin of 6·1 g/100 ml and a haematocrit of 23% were obtained by 30 days. The iron saturation had fallen to a level of 11% and the reticulocyte response to 4·6%. Of note was the short period required to induce these haematological changes, and the minimal impact on the animals.

AbstractA healthy young adult male presented with complaints of frequent (>3/day) formed stools and passage of excessive mucous in stool for 3 months. He did not complain of nocturnal motions, recent diarrhea, blood in stool, straining, weight loss, or pain abdomen. Stool test was normal. He was counseled and treated as a case of irritable bowel syndrome. Due to inadequate relief with empirical therapy, colonoscopy was performed in a subsequent visit. Club-shaped small, round organisms with moving proboscis were seen in the cecum. Organism was later identified as a trematode Gastrodiscoides hominis, a rare foodborne trematode. The patient was treated with praziquantel, without complete relief. Trematode infection might not be the cause of symptoms.

Abstract BACKGROUND Intracranial meningiomas are most common among patients in their fifth to seventh decade of life, typically found in older women. Meningiomas are rare in children and young adults; they represent 1–3% of all intracranial tumors in individuals up to age 20 years and 13.5% of intracranial tumors in the 20–34 age group. Meningioma in young adult male is a rare finding. Management of meningioma is similar between young or older patient. The prognosis is depent on the histology finding and type of resection. This case series was made to report an uncommon case including clinical characteristic and management of meningioma in young adult male. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reported 2 cases of meningioma in young adult male. The first patient was hospitalized on 2016 and diagnosed with atypical meningioma (WHO grade II). The second patient was hospitalized on 2018 and diagnosed with trantitional meningioma (WHO grade I). RESULTS First case: 23 y.o male was hospitalized because of severe headache. His physical exam showed weakness of his left side of the body. There was diplopia that significant for bilateral six nerves palsy. Funduscopy examination revealed papil edema in both eyes correlated with his complained of blurry visions. There was no cranial irradiation from his past medical history. Second case, a male 22 y.o was because of decreased of visual acquity progressively since two month before. There was history of throbbing headache in his left head with mild to moderate intensity. On his neurological examination, there was mild weakness in his right body side. Visual acquity on his right and left eyes were 1/300 and 1/60. Bilateral papil edema was found in funduscopy examination. In his past medical history, there was no history of cranial iradiation. Both cases showed similar initial symptoms consist of headache and others neurological deficit. Radiological examination was performed with result leading to meningioma in convexity area in both cases. Craniotomy tumor removal with gross total resection as simpson grade 2 was achieved in both patients. In the second case pre-operative embolization was performed in order to achieve optimal resection. Histopathology examination confirmed as atypical (WHO grade II) in the first case and trantitional Meningioma (WHO grade I) in second case. Follow up imaging post operation showed no residual mass lesion in both patients. There were no further management in these patients. Both of patients showed improvement in their neurologic function and able to activity without restriction in daily living. Serial imaging examination is planned to observe reccurence of the tumor. CONCLUSION Clinical presentation and management of meningioma in these patients are similar as meningioma commonly. Both of patients showed clinical improvement after craniotomy tumor removal succesfully.

Purpose: The effect of physical exercise on lipid peroxidation was investigated. Method: 27 healthy young adult male subjects were included in this study. Urine samples were collected before and after exercises. Urinary malondialdehyde and creatinine levels (Cr) were measured. Results: Urinary malondialdehyde levels were increased by exercise. While pre-exercise malondialdehyde levels were 5.02±1.26 nmol/mg Cr, post-exercise levels were 6.13±1.84 nmol/mg Cr (p<0.05). Conclusion: These findings indicated that physical exercise induced lipid peroxidation.
