: Infective Endocarditis (IE), a known complication of hemodialysis (HD), has recently been categorized as Healthcare-Associated Infective Endocarditis (HAIE). Single pathogen bacteremia is common, polymicrobial endocardial infection is rare in this cohort of the patients. We report a case of endocarditis caused by Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia), a first ever reported combination of a usual and an unusual organism, respectively, in a patient on HD. Clinical presentation of the patient, its complicated course ,medical and surgical management ,along with microbial and echocardiographic findings is presented herein. The authors believe that presentation of this case of HAIE may benefit and contribute positively to cardiac science owing to the rare encounter of this organism as a pathogen in infective endocarditis and the difficulties in treating it.

Large Animals

Oesophageal disorders are relatively uncommon in large animals. Oesophageal obstruction is the most frequently encountered clinical presentation in bovine and it may be intraluminal or extra luminal (Haven, 1990). Intraluminal obstruction or “choke” is the most common abnormality that usually occurs when foreign objects, large feedstuff, medicated boluses, trichobezoars, or oesophageal granuloma lodge in the lumen of the oesophagus. Oesophageal obstructions in bovine commonly occur at the pharynx, the cranial aspect of the cervical oesophagus, the thoracic inlet, or the base of the heart (Choudhary et al., 2010). Diagnosis of such problem depends on the history of eating particular foodstuff and clinical signs as bloat, tenesmus, retching, and salivation

Esophageal Sphincter

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is common in the pediatric population. Most cases represent physiologic GER and as the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) matures and a solid diet is introduced, many of these patients (>65%) experience spontaneous resolution of symptoms by two years of age. Those who continue to have symptoms and develop complications such as failure to thrive, secondary respiratory disease, and others are classified as having gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Goals of GERD treatment include the resolution of symptoms and prevention of complications. Treatment options to achieve these goals include dietary or behavioral modifications, pharmacologic intervention, and surgical therapy. This paper will review the clinical presentation of GERD and discuss options for surgical management and outcomes in these patients.

Abstract The surgical management of advanced symptomatic atherosclerotic disease in multiple distributions including the coronary circulation presents unique challenges due to the high risk of perioperative ischemic complications in the setting of coronary artery bypass grafting. We present a novel case of the combined surgical management of symptomatic carotid, coronary and mesenteric ischemic disease. The patient underwent carotid endarterectomy followed by combined coronary and mesenteric revascularization using cardiopulmonary bypass during the same hospital admission. He had an uncomplicated post-operative course and was discharged to home on post-operative day 7 after the combined procedure. Ninety-day follow-up was also unremarkable with the patient having no recurrent symptoms of ischemia. This case demonstrates the feasibility and safety of our approach for this rare clinical presentation.

Involvement of the cervical spine is common in rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical presentation can be variable, and symptoms may be due to neck pain or compressive myeloradiculopathy. We discuss the pathology, grading systems, clinical presentation, indications for surgery and surgical management of cervical myelopathy related to rheumatoid arthritis in this paper. We describe our surgical technique and results. We recommend early consultation for surgical management when involvement of the cervical spine is suspected in rheumatoid arthritis. Even patients with advanced cervical myelopathy should be discussed for surgical treatment, since in our experience improvement in function after surgery is common.

ABSTRACT Introduction Severe hypercalcemia due to primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is rare in the setting of MEN 2A. Materials and methods Two patients with MEN 2A and severe hypercalcemia were identified recently. Their clinical presentation, evaluation, surgical management and outcomes are reviewed. Results Two patients with MEN 2A were identified with severe hypercalcemia secondary to a parathyroid adenoma. Calcium levels were elevated to 12.7 mg/dL and 15.1 mg/dL, respectively (normal range = 8.9-10.1 mg/dL). In each case, a single parathyroid adenoma was identified and surgically excised with normalization of parathyroid and calcium levels postoperatively. Clinical manifestations at the time of diagnosis included constipation, polyuria, hypercalciuria, and decreased bone mineral density. Conclusion Severe elevation of serum calcium is a rare presentation of PHPT in MEN2A. The differential diagnosis should include parathyroid adenoma, hyperplasia and parathyroid carcinoma. Early surgical management is essential in the treatment of hyperparathyroidism with severe hypercalcemia to prevent further complications.
