Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is the common lesion in oral cavity. The etiologyof RAS remains unclear. The trigger factors are genetic, traumatic, abnormalimmunology, digestive diseases, hormonal disturbance, HIV, stress, infection andnutrition deficiency. This is a case report of a patient with minor, multiple, pain, whitecolor ulcer with erythema halo on lips palatum and tongue mucous. One day beforethe ulcers erupted, prodromal symptoms had occurred such as subfebris, malaise, anddizziness. The patient was 19-year-old, male, undergraduate student and with historyof ulceration every month. The clinical diagnosis was primary herpeticgingivostomatitis. The differential diagnosis was RAS. The complete blood count(CBC) result indicated that the patient suffered anemia. He was provided withbenzydamin HCl gargle and oral supplement contain ferrous, vitamins, and minerals.It can be concluded that anemia can be a trigger factor of RAS. Therefore, it isimportant for the dentist to know the clinical signs and manifestations of anemia inoral cavity in order to provide an appropriate treatment.

Background:Numerous joint disorders initially produce swelling in a single joint and new onset monoartritis will probably further lead to the involvement of other joint groups and development of extraarticular manifestations. It is essential to take a proper diagnostic approach for organizing appropriate treatment and lowering possibility of disease progression.Objectives:The aim of this study was to investigate joint distribution, determine rheumatological diseases of patients with acute monoarthritis and reveal the development of further systemic manifestations.Methods:100 patients (age 18-75 years) with clinically apparent monoarthritis of less than 6 weeks duration were included in the study. Criteria of exclusion were infection, trauma and crystal induced arthritis. Joint distribution, presence of systemic manifestations and development of chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease were evaluated. Presence of arthritis was proved with help of ultrasound examination. Complete blood count, ESR, CRP, RF, anti-CCP; HLAB27; MEFV mutations and X-ray of swollen joint were performed for all patients. Temperature was also measured.Results:Mean age of patients with acute monoarthritis was 46±13 years. Female predominance was noted (61%). 71% of patients had elevated ESR, 69%- CRP. In 24% of cases homozygous or heterozygous mutations of MEFV gene were revealed. 21% of patients had positive RF and 18% - anti-CCP. 11% patients carried HLA-B27 antigen. 28% of examined patients had subfebril fever. Hepatosplenomegaly was determined in 16%, uveitis in 5%, psoriatic plaque in 4%, interstitial pneumonia in 2% of casesAt the baseline 82 patients were diagnosed with rheumatologically disease. Baseline data is shown in the Table 1 bellow.Table 1.Baseline dataDiagnosis Number of patientsFMF23Osteoarthritis (reactive synovitis)16Rheumatoid arthritis15Reactive arthritis10Ankylosing spondylitis6Psoriatic arthritis4SLE3Schonleyn-Henoch purpura2Sarcoidosis2Behcet diseases1Conclusion:In this study monoarhtritis in majority of cases underlies FMF. Though FMF is not considered as a frequent cause of acute monoarthritis, more attention should be paid on this pathology in focus of monoarthritis, especially in specific for FMF region. Further follow up of acute monoarthritis progression is needed.References:[1]A. Becker, J. Daily, K. Pohlgeers. Acute Monoarthritis: Diagnosis in Adults.Am Fam Physician 2016; 94(10): 810-816[2]S.

Heartwater is a serious limiting factor for sheep and goat production in the major endemic area of sub-Saharan Africa and therefore most knowledge, research and control methods originate from this region. Whilst the usual or common clinical presentations can be used to make a presumptive diagnosis of heartwater with a good measure of confidence, this is not always the case, and animals suffering from heartwater may be misdiagnosed because their cases do not conform to the expected syndrome, signs and lesions. One aberrant form found occasionally in the Channel Island breeds of cattle and some goats is an afebrile heartwaterlike syndrome. The most constant and characteristic features of this heartwater-like syndrome comprise normal temperature, clinical signs associated with generalised oedema, and nervous signs, especially hypersensitivity. The presumption that the disease under investigation is the afebrile heartwater-like syndrome entails a tentative diagnosis based on history and clinical signs and the response to presumed appropriate treatment (metadiagnosis). The afebrile heartwater-like syndrome presents similarly to peracute heartwater but without the febrile reaction. Peracute cases of heartwater have a high mortality rate, enabling confirmation of the disease on post-mortem examination. Recognition of the afebrile heartwater-like syndrome is important to prevent deaths and identify the need for appropriate control measures.

Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction is the commonly encountered congenital anomaly in pediatric population occurring in as many as 30% of new borns. Conservative management of such condition with topical antibiotics and properly performed massage of the nasolacrimal sac is appropriate treatment during the first few months of age. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of resolution of nasolacrimal duct obstruction with conservative management in infants up to 10 months of age. A total of 181 infants of age up to 10 months old with the diagnosis of Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction were advised nasolacrimal duct massage with or without the prescription of topical antibiotics. Resolution of nasolacrimal duct obstruction was assessed at 3 month and 6 month and was defined as the absence of all clinical signs of nasolacrimal duct obstruction. At the 6-month examination, 163 eyes (83%) of 181 children showed resolution with conservative management. The overall success rate of Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction with conservative management was high and this form of management can be considered as one of the best options in infants.

Objective: The aim was to identify and describe migraine trigger factors in patients with familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) from a population-based sample. Methods: 127 FHM patients were sent a questionnaire listing 16 trigger factors. Distinction was made between attacks of hemiplegic migraine (HM) and migraine with aura (MA) or without aura (MO) within each patient. Results: The response rate was 59% (75/127) of whom 57 (76%) had current HM attacks. Sixty-three per cent (47/75) reported at least one factor triggering HM, and 36% (27/75) reported at least one factor that often or always caused HM. Twenty per cent (15/75) reported only HM, whereas FHM in combinations with MA and MO were reported by 80% (60/75). Stress (with attacks either following or during the stress), bright light, intense emotional influences and sleeping too much or too little were the trigger factors mentioned by most. Conclusion: Many FHM patients report trigger factors and one-third reported at least one trigger factor often or always triggering FHM. The typical triggers are the same as for MA. Patients should be educated to avoid these factors. The role of trigger factors in the onset of new or first attacks of FHM remains unknown.

Canine hepatozoonosis caused by Hepatozoon canis is an emerging disease in Europe. Clinical pictures vary from subclinical to life-threatening and non-specific clinical signs are predominantly reported. A 2-month-old female puppy originating from Southern Italy was adopted and moved to Northern Italy. Then, the dog was brought to a local veterinary practice for gastrointestinal signs, migrating lameness and pruritic dermatitis, and then tested positive for Hepatozoon spp. gamonts at the blood smear. After treatment with imidocarb dipropionate and doxycycline, the dog showed an initial clinical improvement. However, gastrointestinal signs recurred, and diffuse superficial pyoderma appeared on the thoracolumbar region, along with fever, lethargy, and weight loss. Eight months from the first onset of clinical signs, the dog was referred to a veterinary clinic and subjected to complete blood count, urine and fecal analysis, along with abdominal ultrasonography, whole-body CT and gastroduodenal endoscopy. Skin biopsies and blood samples were subjected to a PCR-coupled sequencing protocol, which scored both positive for H. canis. Alterations were consistent with a pre-existing cholangiohepatitis and multiple acquired extrahepatic shunts secondary to portal hypertension. The dog was euthanatized due to a clinical worsening two months later. The potential role of H. canis in the systemic disease observed, clinic-pathological findings and epizootiological implications are discussed.

Background: The effective management and choice of appropriate treatment of lymphoma subtypes depend on an accurate diagnosis and differentiation, which require comprehensive haematology and pathology work. Methods: A total of 134 cases of malignant lymphoma, newly diagnosed between January 2017 to January 2020, were selected. For each patient’s samples, complete blood count, immunohistochemistry, and morphological evaluation were done. Results: Clinical data showed that 81 patients (60.4%) were males and 53 (39.6%) females. The age range was 4 to 80 years. NHL lymphoma comprised 87.3% of cases, while HL comprised 12.7% of cases. Diffuse large B cell lymphoma was the most prevalent NHL subtype, representing 39.3% of cases. Among HL subtypes, mixed cellularity was present in 41.2% of cases. B cell lymphoma constituted 93.2% of cases. All HL patients and 74.4% of NHL patients had anaemia. Conclusion: This is the first statistical report of malignant lymphoma patterns in Sudanese patients. These data suggest that malignant lymphoma in Sudanese patients is more frequent in males than females; its incidence increases with age. Further, B cell lymphoma is more common than T cell lymphoma. Diffuse large B cell lymphoma was the most frequent NHL subtype.

Fourth nerve palsy is a common cause of binocular vertical diplopia. However, it can be difficult to diagnose because the clinical signs are often subtle. In this chapter, we begin by reviewing the symptoms of fourth nerve palsy. We next discuss clinical maneuvers for diagnosing fourth nerve palsy, including the Parks-Bielschowsky three-step test. We list the common causes for isolated fourth nerve palsy and review its differential diagnosis, which includes skew deviation and myasthenia gravis. We then discuss the indications for neuroimaging in a patient with fourth nerve palsy. Lastly, we discuss management options for fourth nerve palsy, which include prisms and strabismus surgery.

Objective: To investigate the incidence of lower limb venous insufficiency in morbidly obese patients. Patients and methods: The study group comprised 125 patients (109 women, 16 men). The median (range) age and body mass index were 35 (19–59) years and 42 (32–68) kg/m2 respectively. Eleven patients had clinical signs of varicose veins or had previously undergone varicose vein surgery. Patients were investigated with duplex ultrasound scanning on the day before surgery. Iliac, femoral, popliteal, and long and short saphenous veins in both legs were studied. Results: A total of 33 patients had abnormal reflux in the superficial veins (>0.5 s). In the deep veins 2 patients had valvular incompetence in the common femoral vein with reflux times of 2 and 0.7 s respectively. At reinvestigation 18 and 24 months after surgery the reflux times were normalised. Conclusion: In this study the incidence of deep venous incompetence in the lower limb in morbidly obese patients is low.

AbstractSuccessful treatment of foot and ankle diseases requires an accurate diagnosis. In addition to differentiated history taking, clinical examination is the most important component in the diagnosis of foot and ankle diseases. The present video explains the common provocation tests and functional tests that are used in the basic clinical examination of the foot and ankle complex. In addition to general inspection and palpation, the focus is on different diagnostic tests and clinical signs that improve diagnostic accuracy. The present basic clinical examination methods allow a structured approach to clinical issues and can be a good basis, if supplemented by further specific and individual tests.

This epidemiological study was conducted to find out the incidence of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in goat and sheep at Upazilla Veterinary Hospital, Rangpur sadar, Rangpur during the period of January to April, 2014. In this period, 236 clinically infected goat and sheep were examined in which 22 (9.32%) PPR cases were diagnosed on the basis of history, clinical signs and gross pathological lesions. High fever (104-107 oC), mucopurulent oculo-nasal discharge, rapid and labored breathing, mouth lesion and diarrhea were the common clinical sign of PPR infected goat and sheep. The postmortem examination findings were dark red areas and congestion in different lobes of lungs, enlargement of spleen and lymph nodes, erosion of abomasums and characteristics zebra striping in the mucosa of colon. This present study reveals that about 7-12 months aged group of goats were more prone (40.91%) to PPR compare to adult (above 1 year) and Black Bengal goat was more susceptible (72.32%) than Jamunapari (27.78%) goat where the occurrence of PPR disease was more in goat (81.82%) than sheep (18.18%).Asian J.
