Abstract Early diagnosis of Fanconi Anemia (FA) in patients with bone marrow failure is critical for optimal clinical management. However, the remarkably high clinical variability and the potential emergence of revertant hematopoietic cells (somatic mosaicism) can obscure and delay the diagnosis of FA. Here we addressed FA diagnosis in a prospective series of adult and pediatric patients who presented with bone marrow failure without clear overall clinical picture of FA. Sixty-six patients were classified into three groups: (1) bone marrow failure likely to be congenital, based on dysmorphic features or a family history [n=18], (2) aplastic anemia likely to be idiopathic [n=32], (3) patients with intermediate clinical features not classified into the former groups [n=16]. Of note, FA patients with typical clinical features were not included in the present study. FA diagnosis was evaluated using chromosome breakage test and FANCD2 immunoblot in PHA-stimulated-PBL. In addition, skin primary fibroblasts were analysed in order to overcome potential hematopoietic FA reversion. For that purpose, and considering that chromosome breakage tests are barely efficient in fibroblasts, we used FANCD2 immunoblot and also developped a new flow cytometry test based on MMC-sensitivity in fibroblasts (to detect downstream FA/BRCA groups). Using these approaches, we detected FA in 4 previously undiagnosed patients: a 35-years old patient from the congenital-like group; a 10-years old patient presenting as an idiopathic aplastic anemia without any FA signs; and two patients from the intermediate group: a 10-years old patient with an isolated thrombocytopenia, and a 50-years old patient presenting with pancytopenia/MDS and complete hematopoietic reversion. Importantly, FA diagnosis was definitely excluded in all other patients. In conclusion, we could identify a few unexpected FA cases in a series of patients with bone marrow failure. Therefore, the comprehensive use of a large set of tests is useful for accurate FA diagnosis. Classical chromosomal breakage tests in PBL appeared to be sufficient to exclude FA in idiopathic aplastic anemia, whereas fibroblast analysis can be necessary to definitely diagnose or exclude FA in other patients.

Background: Infections in the foot are more common with significant proportion of world’s population remaining bare foot, minor skin trauma is a frequent cause of local infection. The present study was conducted with an aim to study various foot infections and compare the findings in diabetic and non diabetic patients with reference to etiopathogenesis, clinical features, management, duration of hospital stay and outcome.Methods: The present study was conducted in Mamata General Hospital, Khammam, Telangana state from October 2016 to September 2018. A total of 50 cases were divided into 2 groups, Group A included 25 patients with diabetic foot infection and Group B included 25 patients with non diabetic foot infections.Results: In diabetics 6th decade and in non-diabetics 4th-6th decade was the most common age group presenting with foot infections. Cellulitis of the foot was the most common in both diabetics (40%) and non-diabetics (52%). Wagner’s grade 4 lesions were more common in diabetics (28%) than in non-diabetics (8%). The most common site of lesion in diabetics was dorsum (40%) and in non-diabetics was toes (40%). The incidence of neuropathy was significantly higher in diabetics (72%) than in non-diabetics (20%). Rate of amputation was high in diabetics (12%) compared to non-diabetics (8%). The average number days in a hospital stay in diabetics was 42.27 days and in non-diabetics it was 28.96 days.Conclusion: Diabetic patients have increased severity of infections, delayed healing process, need more active interventions. As compared to the non-diabetic patients, they do show high risk of amputations and prolonged hospital stay.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical features of patients with myasthenia gravis complicated with and without hyperthyroidism. Methods: A total of 2083 patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) admitted in Center of Treatment of Myasthenia Gravis Hebei Province between January 2013 and July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups: Group-A and Group-B, with 108 MG patients complicated with hyperthyroidism in Group-A and 1975 MG patients without thyroid disease in Group-B. The age of onset, gender, Osserman classification, acetylcholine receptor antibody and thymus status of the two groups were analyzed in the two groups. Independent-sample t test was used for intra-group comparison, and χ2 test was utilized for comparison of enumeration data. P<0.05 indicates a statistically significant difference. Results: The age of onset in Group-A was significantly lower than that in Group-B (p=0.000), the number of female patients was significantly higher than that in Group-B (p=0.037), and the level of Achrabs titer was significantly lower than that in Group-B (p=0.000). The incidence of thymoma in Group-A was significantly lower than that in Group-B (p=0.012), while the incidence of thymic hyperplasia was significantly higher than that in Group-B (p=0.000). Conclusion: Patients with MG complicated with hyperthyroidism are mainly female, with a lower age of onset, a lower level of acetylcholine receptor antibody, a lower incidence of thymoma, and a higher incidence of thymic hyperplasia. The clinical features of such patients are remarkably different from those of MG without thyroid disease. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.38.3.4656 How to cite this:Wang Y, Qi G, Yang Y.

Abstract BackgroundValvar sarcoma is an extremely rare disease in which the data for treatment and prognosis are scarce. The aim of this study was to analysis the clinical features and treatment outcomes of initial and recurrent valvar sarcoma.MethodThe medical records of patients with initial or recurrent vulvar sarcoma treated at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 2005 and April 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.Results A total of 21 patients with vulvar sarcoma were identified. The median age of them was 43 years (range: 16 to 71). The histological subtypes were epithelioid sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, rhabdomyosarcoma, and angiosarcoma in 9, 4, 4, 3 and 1 patients, respectively. None of the patients received wide resection when they were initially treated at communities. Thirteen patients were referred immediately after initial managements (Group A), whereas 8 patients were referred with recurrent disease (Group B). Wide resections were performed with pathologically negative margins in 20 patients, of whom 9 also received lymphadenectomy and 3 showed metastases. One patient in Group B only received chemoradiotherapy for unresectable pelvic mass. Adjuvant chemoradiotherapy were performed for 12 patients evaluated to have high risk of recurrence. The median follow-up time was 39 months (range: 11 to 174) for Group A and 107 (range: 2 to 139) for Group B. During the follow-up, relapse occurred in 3 patients in Group A and 5 in Group B. The 3- and 5-year survival rates were 92.3% and 76.9% for Group A, 50.0% and 37.5% for Group B, respectively.ConclusionsVS is usually resected as benign disease at initial management. Immediate extended resection with negative margins provided favorable outcomes for most of the patients. The prognosis for recurrent cases were poor, however there remained survival opportunities if aggressive treatments were carried out.

Amlapitta is one of the Annavahasroto vikara (gastrointestinal system) described in many classical Ayur-vedic texts. Modern luxurious lifestyle and sendentary habits of people have been inviting so many diseas-es like Prameha (Diabetis), Amavata (Arthritis), Amlapitta (Gastritis) etc. The cardinal features of Amlapit-ta includes utklesha (nausea), hritdaha (heartburn), kantadaha (throat burn), amlodgara (sour and bitter belching), chardi (vomiting), kukshidaha (abdominal burn) etc. The present study was taken up to evaluate efficacy of Kadali kanda churna and Kadali kanda kwatha in Urdwaga Amlapitta (Functional dyspepsia). A total of 20 patients having clinical features of Urdwaga Amlapitta were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups with 10 patients each. Group A was treated with Kadali kanda churna and Group B was treated with Kadali kanda kwatha. Subjective parameters were suitably graded to assess the results based on the clinical observations. Statistical tests were applied to analyze the results. In the present study it was observed that the percentage of success of Group A was 93.75% and that of Group B was 65%. Group A showed better results when compared to Group B.
