Sesamoiditis is the inflammation of the proximal sesamoid bones. The aetiopathogenesis of sesamoiditis is still open to discussion, while several therapeutic protocols have been put forward. This study presents the case of a l6year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding with sesamoiditis of the right forelimb. A right forelimb lameness (3/10), with a positive lower limb flexion test (5/10) was noted, and enlargement of the soft tissues of the right fore fedock. Based on the positive low four point nerve block, radiographic examination of the fedock revealed the presence of numerous radiolucent areas along the palmar aspect of the sesamoidean bones, but only minimal new bone formation on its base. An ultrasonographic evaluation of the suspensory ligament and the distal sesamoidean ligaments was made, something which did not detect any abnormalities. Phenylobutazone (4mg/kg i.v. SID) was administered for five days and, also, local hydrotherapy with cold water was used and the horse was given a 15- day box rest. The horse was re-examined three months following the initial inspection. The radiographic examination of the fetlock showed the same lesions with the initial examination. The second ultrasonographic evaluation, though, showed enlargement by 50% of the lateral branch of the suspensory ligament with loss of the normal outline. Moreover, anechoic areas were noted within the branch with calcification at its insertion site. To address the inflammation phenylobutazone (4mg/kg i.v.) was administered for ten days and, also, local hydrotherapy with cold water was used. Box-rest for 30 days was recommended. In the end of this period there was no inflammation in the fetlock region. A blister (TWYDIL liquid blister®) was used in order to resolve the chronic inflammation of the suspensory apparatus. The horse was then given three weeks of box rest and received correcting shoeing (egg- bar shoe with elevated heels and rolled- toe). It was then put in a gradually increasingexercise program.

A three-year-old Jack Russell terrier dog was presented with a large gingival mass of the right mandible extending from the fourth premolar to the first molar teeth. Radiographic examination of the expansile mass revealed moth-eaten, honeycomb-like lyses of the mandible and extended into the mandibular alveolar canal based on computed tomography. The histopathological diagnosis of the biopsy was odontogenic fibromyxoma. Mandibulectomy with resection of the associated soft tissues was performed. Surgical management was curative with no clinical signs of disease 2-years after treatment. These neoplasms are slow growing, locally destructive tumors of odontogenic origin that have been described in the jaw of only one dog. In this paper, the clinico-radiological and pathologic features, diagnostic modalities as well as the factors that might influence treatment outcome of odontogenic myxomas are discussed. These odontogenic tumors are currently excluded from the WHO classification of odontogenic tumors in domestic animals and inclusion in future classifications systems is proposed.

Slow Growing

Ameloblastic fibroma is an uncommon mixed neoplasm of odontogenic origin with a relative frequency between 1.5 – 4.5%. It can occur either in the mandible or maxilla, but predominantly seen in the posterior region of the mandible. It occurs in the first two decades of life. Most of the times it is associated with tooth enclosure, causing a delay in eruption or altering the dental eruption sequence. The common clinical manifestation is a slow growing painless swelling and is detected during routine radiographic examination. There is controversy in the mode of treatment, whether conservative or aggressive. Here we reported a 38 year old male patient referred for evaluation of painless swelling on the right posterior region of the mandible associated with clinically missing 3rd molar. The lesion was completely enucleated under general anesthesia along with the extraction of impacted molar.

Abstract Background Cannulation of a central venous catheter is sometimes associated with serious complications. When arterial cannulation occurs, attention must be given to removal of a catheter. Case presentation A 62-year-old man was planned for emergency thoracic endovascular aortic repair. After the induction of anesthesia, a central venous catheter was unintentionally inserted into the right subclavian artery. We planned to remove the catheter. Since we considered that surgical repair would be highly invasive for the patient, we decided to remove it using a percutaneous intravascular stent. A stent was inserted through the right axillary artery. The stent was expanded immediately after the catheter was removed. Post-procedural angiography revealed no leakage from the catheter insertion site and no occlusion of the right subclavian and vertebral arteries. There were no obvious hematoma or thrombotic complications. Conclusions A catheter that has been misplaced into the right subclavian artery was safely removed using an intravascular stent.

OBJECTIVE: the present work proposed to extract Locust Bean Gum (LBG) from Algerian carob fruits, evaluate physicochemical and rheological properties (solubility). It aimed also to develop different formulations of strawberry jams with a mixture of LBG and pectin in order to obtain a product with a high sensory acceptance. METHODS: the physicochemical characteristics of LBG were assessed. The impact of temperature on solubility was also studied. The physical and the sensory profile and acceptance of five Jams were evaluated. RESULTS: composition results revealed that LBG presented a high level of carbohydrate but low concentrations of fat and ash. The LBG was partially cold-water-soluble (∼62% at 25°C) and needed heating to reach a higher solubility value (∼89% at 80 °C). Overall, the sensorial acceptances decreased in jams J3 which was formulated with 100% pectin and commercial one (J5). The external preference map explained that most consumers were located to the right side of the map providing evidence that most samples appreciated were J4 and J2 (rate of 80–100%). CONCLUSION: In this investigation, the LBG was used successfully in the strawberry jam’s formulation.

Clinical Awareness

Epithelioid angiosarcoma is a rare and highly aggressive soft tissue angiosarcoma most commonly arising in the deep soft tissues. Given that abundant vascular cavities anastomose with each other, most angiosarcomas prone to metastasis recur quickly, and the overall prognosis is poor. We report a 25-year-old woman at 24 weeks’ gestation who presented with a 1-month history of abdominal distension. Ultrasonography suggested a mass in the right adnexa, and she underwent two operations owing to uncontrolled intraperitoneal bleeding with progressive anemia. The right ovarian tumor and right adnexa were removed successively. Biopsy yielded a diagnosis of primary epithelioid angiosarcoma with mature cystic teratoma. The patient died from uncontrolled progressive bleeding 1 week after the second operation. This case revealed that epithelial angiosarcoma is a highly malignant endothelial cell tumor. The results of surgery and chemoradiotherapy tend to be poor, and the recurrence rate is high. The purpose of this study is to raise clinical awareness of epithelial angiosarcoma and its adverse events and to provide new ideas for the treatment of these adverse events. Immunohistochemical staining of pathological specimens can facilitate diagnosis. Pregnancy with malignant tumors may lead to rapid disease progression, extensive lesions, and a poor prognosis.

Habituation To Cold

It was possible to produce habituation to cold in a group of human subjects by immersing the left hand in cold water for [Formula: see text] minutes twice a day for 19 days. The right hand did not adapt. Another group of subjects was exposed similarly with the difference that an anxiety test (mental arithmetic test) was always given simultaneously with the cold-water test. In this second group the original blood pressure response, i.e. for the first day, was greater than in the first group because of the cumulative effects of the two tests. After 19 days definite evidence was obtained for adaptation to these two tests administered together. However, when these tests were given separately to the second group, no adaptation was evident; adaptation occurred only to both tests given simultaneously. These results indicate that no adaptation develops to cold per se if the subjects are distracted from cold discomfort. It was also found that adaptation of one hand to cold water not only failed to induce adaptation in the opposite hand but even reinforced responses of the unadapted hand. These findings suggest a participation of the central nervous system in adaptation to cold pain, and tend to minimize the importance of local peripheral changes.

Primary liver sarcomas represent a rare group of neoplasias, with angiosarcoma being the most common histological type. Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) represents a high malignant neoplasia that usually affects the central nervous system and soft tissues. An 18-year-old male patient was admitted with clinical complains of pain in the right upper abdominal quadrant. The clinical evaluation revealed a solid mass in the right hepatic lobe. On the gross examination of the resected liver specimen, the right lobe of the liver was replaced by a yellow-red solid mass measuring 21 cm in its largest dimension. On the histopathology, a tumor composed of small round blue cells with little cytoplasm and round nuclei was identified. The lesion revealed positive immunoexpression for vimentin and CD99 and negative immunostaining for desmin, CD45, cytokeratin, and neuroblastoma protein, suggesting, then, the diagnosis of PNET. Although it is an unusual tumor, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of liver masses, especially in young patients.

Necrotising soft tissue infection is a rare and rapid process with devastating consequence. We report one case of necrotising soft tissue infection in a bilateral upper limb with uncommon oral bacteria. Radiological imaging revealed the presence of gas in upper limb soft tissues, and an MRI showed the localised signal changes in the biceps muscle of the right upper arm, and the subcutaneous tissue of the left elbow. The patient was treated with surgical resection of the infected muscle and wide debridement of the subcutaneous tissue. Antibiotics were initiated. The patient recovered immediately without functional deficit. The unique features of this patient were possible to observe in the progression of the necrotising soft tissue infection in the bilateral upper limb with intentional injection of oral bacteria, and the effect of biceps brachii resection in a prime age worker.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is an uncommon benign odontogenic tumor representing 3 to 7% of all odontogenic tumors. This tumor was first reported as adeno-ameloblastoma by Bernier and Tiecke in 1950 as it was initially assumed to be a type of ameloblastoma. In 1969, Philipsen and Bern proposed the term adenomatoid odontogenic tumor which was subsequently adopted by WHO and became the accepted terminology for this tumor. AOT is classified as a tumor of odontogenic epithelium but occasionally abnormal hard tissues consistent with dentinoid material may also be present as part of the tumor. AOT tends to occur in younger patients and 50% of the cases are diagnosed in teenagers. It occurs twice as commonly in females and frequently involves the anterior maxilla. Radiographically, AOT can appear as a radiolucent or mixed lucent-opaque lesion and may be associated with an impacted tooth. Methods/Case Report We report two unusually large expansile lesions of AOT that presented in the mandible. In the first case, the tumor presented as an expansile radiolucent lesion involving the right posterior mandible in a 32 year old female. In the second case, the tumor presented as an expansile mixed lucent-opaque lesion involving the left anterior mandible in a 21 year old female. The clinical presentation, radiographic and imaging findings, histopathologic features and treatment of these two cases will be discussed. The recommended treatment for AOT is surgical excision. The prognosis is good as this tumor seldom recurs after excision. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) NA Conclusion AOT is considered to be a non-aggressive, non-invasive and slow growing benign neoplasm. It is usually discovered on routine radiographic examination as the lesion is usually small and asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis but occasional cases that are larger in size have been reported in the literature.
