Clinical Description

The goal of this report is to analyse the incidence of genital tumours in cattle referred to the Clinic between 2016 and 2019 and to describe the outcome after the surgical tumour resection. All cattle with a confirmed diagnosis of a genital tumour (n = 3) were included in the study. The breed, age, tumour localisation and type of treatment were considered. Telephone interviews were used to ask owners about the integration of the cows into the herd after discharge, the survival, the reason for leaving the herd, wound complications and tumour recurrence. Three genital tumours including a vaginal fibrosarcoma, vaginal leiomyosarcoma and luteoma were diagnosed. A tumour recurrence or metastasis did not occur. In conclusion, the tumour resection was successful in all three cases. To our knowledge, this is the first clinical description of a cow with a luteoma.

Talar Body Fracture

The talus is the second most common fractured tarsal bone. While their incidence may be low, talus fractures are severe injuries that can lead to long-term disability and pain. Displaced talar body fractures are typically treated through an open approach with the aim of obtaining anatomic reduction and stable fixation. There are several case reports in the literature demonstrating successful management of talus fractures arthroscopically. An arthroscopic approach minimizes soft tissue trauma, which can help decrease postoperative wound complications and infections. In this article, the authors describe a surgical technique of an arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation of a comminuted posterior talar body fracture. Compared with an open posterior approach with or without osteotomies, an arthroscopic technique improved visualization and allowed precise reduction and fixation.

Olfactory Hallucination

Background Approximately 3.9% children with migraine have olfactory hallucination which was defined as a perception of a smell without the substantial existence of any physical odor. Case We described the first two cases of children with vestibular migraine, presenting visual aura and olfactory hallucination. ​ We reported two children with vertigo, visual aura, and olfactory hallucination before the headache who were responsive to topiramate. Conclusion The clinical description of olfactory hallucination presented some characteristics of migraine aura. Olfactory hallucinations could be inserted as a migraine aura in International Classification of Headache Disorders.

Clinical Description

In 1910, James Bryan Herrick published the first clinical and laboratory description of sickle cell anemia. Two years later, he published a case report on coronary thrombosis. Together, these case reports solidified his reputation as one of the premier diagnosticians of his generation. Now regarded as a central figure in the history of American medicine, Herrick played an integral role in the clinical adoption of the electrocardiograph and the professionalization of cardiology in the United States. Although a full decade passed before the medical profession recognized his clinical description of coronary thrombosis and myocardial infarction, it has had profound implications for cardiovascular medicine and prevention over the past hundred years. As a consultant physician, Herrick advocated in favor of incorporating chemistry and laboratory evaluation into clinical practice.

Recklinghausen’S Disease

This report provides a review and discussion of bilateral acoustic tumors (von Recklinghausen's Disease) with emphasis on the audiological manifestations. To aid in our clinical description of this disease a series of 22 patients are summarized and three case reports are presented. The audiometric findings are shown to be quite different from what is generally seen in unilateral tumors. Because of the significant complications that can be associated with this disorder, especially in the later stages, the importance of early detection is emphasized. Strategies for audiologic management are also presented.

Clinical Description

Cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is a rare condition that is usually associated with infections, pregnancy, vasculitis and some types of medication, such as the contraceptive pill and paraneoplastic. Primary Burkitt lymphoma (PBL) of the thyroid gland is very uncommon and the clinical description of such cases has been largely limited to case reports. In this paper, we present a case of CST as the first manifestation of PBL of the thyroid gland. To the best of our knowledge, our patient is the first case report of PBL of the thyroid gland that presents with bilateral CST.

Clinical Description

Objective To review the literature on the recent available evidence of antibiotic-associated acute liver injury. Data Sources All published articles from January 1990 to July 1995 were extracted from the monthly updated HEPATOX database. Additional articles were found using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PASCAL searches. Hepatic injuries associated with antituberculous, antimycotic, antiviral, antiprotozoal, and antiseptic compounds were excluded from this review. Study Selection As the amount of literature was large, only case reports, series, and epidemiologic data were used. Results from clinical trials were reviewed only when no other information was available. Data Extraction Original articles were reviewed to select relevant material. Information regarding the clinical description, histologic features, severity, outcome, and possible risk factors was extracted. Data on incidence were provided by epidemiologic studies or spontaneous reporting to regulatory agencies. Data Synthesis Antibiotic-associated acute liver injury is rare, with an incidence not exceeding 1 case per 10 000 users for most drugs. Among beta-lactams, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and penicillinase-resistant penicillins are associated with predominant and sometimes protracted cholestasis. The hepatotoxic potential of all available erythromycin salts is confirmed, and recent evidence suggests that roxithromycin could be added to the list of antibiotic-induced liver injury. Among fluoroquinolones, only ciprofloxacin has been associated with serious hepatitis. Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole-induced hepatitis is often reported, but trimethoprim alone also appears as a possible cause of acute liver injury. Finally, acute bile duct injuries and ductopenia have been described with several antibiotics. Conclusions The most important recent information is the possibility of protracted liver cholestasis with bile duct injuries induced by several antibiotics, particularly penicillinase-resistant penicillins, and the identification of new potentially hepatotoxic antibiotics, namely, roxithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and trimethoprim.

Optimal Debulking

Ovarian fibrosarcoma is an extremely rare tumour with no universally accepted guidelines for treatment. We present a 46-year-old nulliparous woman with ovarian fibrosarcoma who mainly presented with a painful abdominal enlargement. Optimal debulking surgery was performed, and a specimen of the tumour was examined. A frozen section examined during surgery revealed spindle cell morphology, raising the suspicion of ovarian fibrosarcoma, which was later confirmed by immunohistochemistry staining. Our patient refused to undergo chemotherapy and died 3 months after surgery due to tumour recurrence. Although no clear consensus exists for administering chemotherapy for fibrosarcoma, some published case reports have shown a lower chance of recurrence and better prognosis in patients who undergo chemotherapy compared with our patient.

In the last five years, surgeons have applied endoscopic transforaminal surgical techniques mastered in the lumbar spine to the treatment of thoracic pathology. The aim of this systematic review was to collate the available literature to determine the place and efficacy of full endoscopic approaches used in the treatment of thoracic disc prolapse and stenosis. An electronic literature search of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane database and Google Scholar was performed as suggested by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis statements. Included were any full-text articles referring to full endoscopic thoracic surgical procedures in any language. We identified 17 patient series, one cohort study and 13 case reports with single or of up to three patients. Although the majority included disc pathology, 11 papers related cord compression in a proportion of cases to ossification of the ligamentum flavum or posterior longitudinal ligament. Two studies described the treatment of discitis and one reported the use of endoscopy for tumour resection. Where reported, excellent or good outcomes were achieved for full endoscopic procedures in a mean of 81% of patients (range 46–100%) with a complication rate of 8% (range 0–15%), comparing favourably with rates reported after open discectomy (anterior, posterolateral and thoracoscopic) or by endoscopic tubular assisted approaches. Twenty-one of the 31 author groups reported use of local anaesthesia plus sedation rather than general anaesthesia, providing ‘self-neuromonitoring’ by allowing patients to respond to cord and/or nerve stimuli.
