Incisional hernia is a common post-surgical complication, but hernias through iliac bone defects after the harvesting of an iliac bone graft is rare. The common presentation includes swelling and discomfort, and sometimes features of intestinal obstruction. A computerized tomography (CT) scan is commonly used for the diagnosis and to define the anatomical defect in the bone. Surgery is recommended because of high risk of strangulation. While various methods of repairing this type of hernia have been described, we chose to perform mesh repair for an iliolumbar incisional hernia.

Specific Symptoms

Bouveret syndrome is a rare complication of biliary lithiasis. This sequela is caused by the passage of the gallstone via a bilioenteric fistula, resulting in an impacted gallstone in the duodenum or stomach. The common presentation of non-specific symptoms contributes to the diagnostic uncertainty and delay, which is strongly associated with adverse outcomes. We report an uncomplicated stone extraction via open gastrotomy in an elderly man afflicted with bowel obstruction and biliary vomit secondary to Bouveret syndrome.

AbstractThis article discusses Maimonides’s rationale for the incest taboo and traces its reception in Christian and kabbalistic traditions in the thirteenth century. Tracing the reception of Maimonides’s view enables recognition of the resemblance between Maimonides and Aquinas, the ambivalent stance toward Maimonides’s explanation expressed by Nahmanides, and the incorporation of Maimonides’s reasoning in one of the most systematic and enigmatic works of kabbalistic rationalization of the commandments, the Castilian Kabbalist Joseph of Hamadan’s The Book of the Rationales of the Negative Commandments. R. Joseph’s acceptance of Maimonidean principles and his integration of them in the theurgic Kabbalah reveal a conflict in the heart of its system and teach us about an important aspect of the theory of sexuality in Kabbalah. The inquiry offered here examines the inter-relations between divergent medieval religious trends in constructing the role of sexuality. Instead of the common presentation of Kabbalah as diverging from the ascetic positions of Jewish philosophy and Christianity, this analysis will elucidate Kabbalah’s continuity with them.

Fontan Palliation

Protein Losing Enteropathy Post Fontan procedure. Protein Losing Enteropathy (PLE) is an uncommon cause of edema in children with congenital heart disease. Protein-Losing Enteropathy may be defined as excessive loss of proteins across the intestinal mucosa and is due to either a primary gastrointestinal abnormality or secondary to cardiac disease. Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is a rare complication of the Fontan palliation for functional single-ventricle. Although PLE occurs in about 3.5% of patients post-Fontan, it confers marked morbidity and high mortality within 5 years of diagnosis. The pathogenesis of Fontan-related PLE is not completely understood, and it is unclear why it develops in some patients post-Fontan and not others. We describe a child with Double Inlet Right Ventricle who had undergone Fontan procedure, and presented to us with generalised oedema. The child had hypoproteinaemia, the common causes for which were ruled out and was diagnosed as Protein Losing Enteropathy (PLE) related to his surgical intervention. Though, not frequently encountered it should be kept in mind as one of the causes of anasarca.
