Syndrome Report

Cronkhite–Canada syndrome is rarely encountered in clinical practice. Notably, most patients with Cronkhite–Canada syndrome exhibit hypoalbuminemia. Because the cause of Cronkhite–Canada syndrome is unknown, no specific treatment method has been established. Here, we describe a 59-year-old woman with Cronkhite–Canada syndrome in whom clinical manifestations were considerably relieved after treatment with prednisone.

AbstractOne patient with Dieulafoy’s lesion (DL) of the rectum who had a history of anal receptive intercourse is described and the relevant literature reviewed. DL is rare in clinical practice and is extremely rare in the rectum. It often affects patients with no history of cirrhosis or gastrointestinal disease and occurs with abrupt or recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding. Visible vessels can usually be found by endoscopy and coinstantaneous treatments are essential while surgical interventions can occur when necessary. The diagnosis of DL is mainly based on clinical manifestations and endoscopic features, and endoscopic treatment is the first option for hemostasis.

Olfactory Test

Currently, the diagnosis of Parkinsons disease is carried out mainly on the ground of clinical picture. However, long before the development of motor disorders, a number of signs characteristic of parkinsonism can be detected. The review of the literature presents methods to detect non-motor disorders that can be considered as predictors of the disease and it also discusses the issue of the laboratory studies of specific biomarkers for early diagnosis. We suggested to use the combination of olfactory test and questionnaire about vegetative disorders as the most relevant solution for clinical practice. It is recommended to interpret the test data as a sign of extremely high probability of the development of clinical manifestations of Parkinsons disease, and, therefore, as a reason to start preventive therapy.

Aplasia Cutis

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare disease characterized by a local absence of skin and, in some cases, subcutaneous tissue. Most cases occur in the scalp, but the lesion can occur anywhere in the trunk and extremities. ACC is usually an isolated defect, but can also be associated with other abnormalities. Most reported cases are sporadic, with a few reports of family events. Neither pathogenesis nor etiology are clarified. In most cases, healing is spontaneous, and apart from keeping the lesion clean, no specific treatment is required. This report presents a case of ACC at the head and provides a brief review of the literature.

Current State

The clinical manifestations of disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome (DIC) depend on the predominance of the sum of the vectors of hypercoagulation and hyperfibrinolysis and are strongly associated with the underlying disease, against which DIC is formed. The issue of understanding the complex pathogenesis, timely diagnosis of overt DIC and early manifestations of DIC remain an urgent challenge for intensive care physicians and leading specialized societies to study the problems of hemostasis and thrombus formation. This review of the literature analyzes the pathways of DIC development, the current state of the possibility of using diagnostic markers to detect DIC, especially in sepsis. The diagnosis of sepsis-induced coagulopathy against the background of the development of multiple organ failure is highlighted as a separate issue. Diagnostic scales are presented in the form of comparative tables for a more convenient perception of information, memorization and further implementation in clinical practice.

Congenital and perinatal infections are commonly encountered in clinical practice. This book provides a summation of the data regarding infections transmitted from mother to child during the antepartum, intrapartum, or postnatal period, with the goal of providing a complete and critical review of the literature regarding the prevention, diagnosis, and management of congenital and perinatal infections. Emphasis is placed on epidemiology, clinical manifestations, key diagnostic studies, and therapeutic interventions. Individual chapters elucidate the pathogenesis of these infections, as well as high-priority areas for future research. This text will prove useful to medical students and residents, fellows, and practicing physicians in obstetrics and pediatrics, as well as family-practice physicians and specialists who care for pregnant women and newborns.

Gastric Mass

Strongyloidiasis is an intestinal infection caused by the nematode Strongyloides, and it is rarely seen in our clinical practice in the United States. Although it remains localized to the gastrointestinal tract most of the time, it can disseminate to other organs when it causes autoinfection in the setting of immunosuppression. The clinical manifestations vary depending on the involved organ. A case of disseminated strongyloidiasis presenting as a case of ulcerated gastric mass and anemia is described here along with a review of the literature on this condition.

Syndrome Report

Le syndrome de loge sur positionnement prolongé en lithotomie ou en hémilithitomie, est une complication rare en chirurgie. Les dommages neurovasculaires sont souvent permanents. On reporte deux cas d'ostéosynthèse du fémur en position d'hemilithotomie, compliqués d'un syndrome de loge de la jambe controlatérale. Une revue de la littérature sur les 40 cas décrits, jusqu'à ce jour, nous démontre que cette complication est fortement liée au positionnement du patient et à la durée opératoire. Compte tenu du pronostic fonctionnel incertain, une limitation du temps de positionnement en lithotomie doit être recherchée. La surveillance postopératoire doit être rigoureuse et sans hésitation quant à une fasciotomie éventuelle sur simple examen clinique ou après la mesure de la pression dans les loges. Une technique de positionnement sur la table orthopédique est proposée.

Presented current data on the etiology of rosacea, the main aspects of pathogenesis, clinical forms of the disease. Reflects trigger factors leading to rosacea, as well as complicating its course. Modern methods of treatment are described, including the use of new safe preparations of ivermectin and brimonidine, providing a good, lasting effect of clinical manifestations of rosacea. The role of laser technology, actively occupying a leading place in the choice of physiotherapeutic treatment method, is noted. The need for an individual approach in the choice of therapy for each patient with rosacea is emphasized.
