Abstract Botfly myiasis is an infestation of the skin or a body cavity by developing larvae of Dermatobia hominis, one of the most common flies that cause human infestation among the local population, in regions ranging from Mexico into South America and in travelers. The life cycle starts when a female fly glues the eggs to the vector, a blood-sucking arthropod, which carries the unhatched larvae to the susceptible host. A case of furuncular botfly myiasis in an 85 year-old female with recent travel to Belize is presented here to highlight the parasite life cycle and review the different treatment options.

Assessment And Treatment

Wandering spleen and gastric volvulus are two rare entities that have been described in association with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The diagnosis is difficult and any delay can result in ischemia and necrosis of both organs. We present a case of a 13-year-old girl, previously operated on for anterior diaphragmatic hernia and intrathoracic gastric volvulus, that presented to our service for a subdiaphragmatic gastric volvulus recurrence associated with a wandering spleen. In this report we reviewed the literature, analyzing the clinical presentation, diagnostic assessment, and treatment options of both conditions, in particular in the case associated with diaphragmatic hernia.

Wild mushroom poisoning from the genus Amanita is a medical emergency, with Amanita phalloides being the most common offender. Patients may complain of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and/or abdominal pain. If not aggressively treated, fulminant hepatic failure may develop within several days of ingestion. In this case report, a patient poisoned withAmanita bisporigerais described, along with the typical clinical presentation, patient outcomes, and treatment options for dealing with an Amanita mushroom poisoning.

Background: Perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens (PCAS) is a suppurative process that involves the scalp, eventually resulting in extensive scarring and irreversible alopecia. This condition often presents in males of African American origin. Objective: This article describes the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of an Aboriginal Canadian male suffering from PCAS. A literature review on the etiology, pathology, differential diagnosis, and management is also discussed. Conclusion: Careful analysis of the pathology and clinical presentation can aid in the timely diagnosis and management of this challenging condition. The clinician dealing with patients suffering from PCAS has several treatment options available to help successfully manage patients with straightforward or recalcitrant disease.

Background: Spigelian hernia best described as spontaneous lateral ventral hernia is an extremely rare type of hernia. The anatomical peculiarities and diagnostic challenges need to be understood in order to surgically mange this hernia. Introduction: Spigelian hernia occurs through a defect in the spigelian fascia typically lying in the spigelian zone. Case report: A case of a large incarcerated spigelian hernia is presented to highlight the diagnostic and anatomical peculiarities of this hernia. Discussion: The anatomical basis of this hernia along with clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities and treatment options is discussed. Conclusion: Clinical suspicion confirmed by imaging is necessary for diagnosis. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment.

Pseudomyxomaperitonei (PMP) is a rare disease characterized by presence of gelatinous ascites and mucinous implants on the peritoneum and omentum. We report the case of a 58 years old woman with primary tumour of the appendix and secondary involvement of other structures & organs of abdominal cavity. Aim of this case report is to create awareness among the clinicians regarding this uncommon disease presented with ascites and irregular masses in the abdomen. In addition, literature on the clinical presentation, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options has been briefly reviewed.Pulse Vol.10 January-December 2017 p.47-51

Causes Of Failure

Partial or complete failure of tooth eruption may be due to several causes, including primary failure of eruption (PFE), and an accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate management. This article reviews PFE and the possible treatment options. Case reports of two patients diagnosed with PFE are presented and their management discussed. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Primary failure of eruption can be difficult to diagnose and differentiate from other causes of failure of eruption. This paper highlights the clinical presentation of PFE through a review of the literature and by illustration with two clinical cases.

Dementia is a major public health concern that afflicts an estimated 24.3 million people worldwide. Great strides are being made in order to better diagnose, prevent, and treat these disorders. Dementia is associated with multiple complications, some of which can be life-threatening, such as dysphagia. There is great variability between dementias in terms of when dysphagia and other swallowing disorders occur. In order to prepare the reader for the other articles in this publication discussing swallowing issues in depth, the authors of this article will provide a brief overview of the prevalence, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, current treatment options, and implications for eating for the common forms of neurodegenerative dementias.
