Uncommon Case

Primary rectal involvement by tuberculosis infection is rare. We present a relatively uncommon case of primary rectal tuberculosis. A 35-year-old male patient presented with history of long duration of anorexia, altered bowel habits, painful defecation, fever, and rectal bleeding. On clinical and radiological finding case was suspected of rectal malignancy. The proctoscopic biopsy was performed. On histopathology, it was diagnosed as rectal tuberculosis. We are presenting this case for its rarity, mimicking malignancy and difficulty in diagnosis.

Dating Method

The age of Mars yardangs is significant in studying their development and the evolution of paleoclimate conditions. For planetary surface or landforms, a common method for dating is based on the frequency and size distribution of all the superposed craters after they are formed. However, there is usually a long duration for the yardangs’ formation, and they will alter the superposed craters, making it impossible to give a reliable dating result with the method. An indirect method by analyzing the ages of the superposed layered ejecta was devised in the research. First, the layered ejecta that are superposed on and not altered by the yardangs are identified and mapped. Then, the ages of the layered ejecta are derived according to the crater frequency and size distribution on them. These ages indicate that the yardangs ceased development by these times, and the ages are valuable for studying the evolution of the yardangs. This indirect dating method was applied to the areas of Martian yardangs in the Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF). The ages of the selected six layered ejecta range from ~0.50 Ga to ~1.5 Ga, indicating that the evolution of the corresponding yardangs had been ceased before these times. Analysis of more layered ejecta craters and superposed yardangs implies that yardangs in the MFF have a long history of development and some yardangs are still in active development.

Physical Findings

Fifty-one patients suspected of having a perilymph fistula were evaluated. We postulated that many patients with predominantly vestibular complaints had unrecognized perilymph fistulas. An analysis was made of symptoms, physical findings, vestibular and audiometric test results in order to determine appropriate diagnostic criteria for the presence of perilymph fistulas. The patient population was divided into two groups, those with and without fistulas. Data from both groups were compared by mean values of variables, step-wise discriminant analysis, and factor analysis. A history of trauma with sudden onset of dizziness and/or hearing loss should alert the physician to a fistula. Findings of significance were positional nystagmus of short latency and long duration without import of nystagmus direction, canal paresis and reduced speech reception threshold with poor speech discrimination scores. Discriminant analysis correctly classified 19 fistula and 10 nonfistula cases explored operatively and identified two error judgments in 22 nonoperated cases. Bed rest for the first five days proved to be the most effective means of therapy. Surgical intervention with repair of the fistula by perichondrial graft provided effective control of vertigo more frequently than restoration of hearing.

The Relationship

This pioneering textbook explores the theoretical background of cultural variety, both in past and present. How is it possible to study 'culture' when the topic covers the arts, literature, movies, history, sociology, anthropology and gender studies? Understanding Culture examines the evolution of a concept with varying meanings depending on changing norms. Offering a long-duration analysis of the relationship between culture and nature, this book looks at the origins of studying culture from an international perspective. Using examples from the several scholarly traditions in the practice of studying culture, Understanding Culture is a key introduction to the area. It identifies the history of interpreting culture as a meeting point between the long-standing historical investigation of 'humanism' and 'postmodernism' and is a comprehensive resource for those who wish to further their engagement with culture as both a historical and contemporary phenomenon.

Objective of the study: to explore the possibilities of T-SPOT.TB testing to detect tuberculosis infection (TI) in children and adolescents. Materials and methods of research: the design – a multicenter retrospective cohort noncomparative uncontrolled study. The results of examination of children aged 1 to 17 years using the T-SPOT.TB test (n=1565): 774 boys (49,5%), 791 girls (50,5%). The median age of children is 8 [5; 13] years. Results: the rate of positive T-SPOT.TB tests was 7,2% (n=113). Further examination and in-depth examination of children with positive results (n=28), in every 4th case, a history of contact with a tuberculosis (TB) patient was established, every 4th child had previously been under treatment with phthisiatrician. The coincidence of positive results of the T-SPOT.TB test with the Mantoux test – in 87%, with the test with a recombinant tuberculosis allergen – in 100% of cases. Local TB in the phase of reverse development was detected in one child (4%), active TB – in 2 (7%). Conclusion: the T-SPOT.TB test is an alternative method for screening children for TI.

Cases of neonatal gastrointestinal system (GIS) obstruction are quite complex for pediatric surgery clinics. A rare cause of intestinal obstruction is the duplication cyst (DC). A three-day-old male patient presented at our clinic with a history of abdominal distension and bilious vomiting on the second day following birth. Although pathology had not yet been determined from observation and examination, surgery was performed when the patient could not tolerate oral feeding. An ileal DC forming an incomplete obstruction was observed. Ileoileal anastomosis was performed on the patient. Because DCs can present with different clinical symptoms, it is quite difficult to diagnose them in neonate patients. Lacking an imaging method that can provide an exact diagnosis, the diagnostic laparotomy is a suitable approach for both diagnosis and treatment to avoid delays in treatment.

History Of

Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) was first described by Waldmann et al, in 1961. PIL is a rare disease with several hundred reported cases. It is rarely reported in adults because it is presumably a congenital disorder and when present in adults it typically produces a long duration of manifestation such as diarrhea, abdominal distention from ascites, and peripheral edema. This disorder is characterized by markedly dilated intestinal lymphatics, hypoproteinemia, generalized edema, lymphocytopenia hypogammaglobinemia, and immunologic anomalies. The loss of protein into the from dilated intestinal lymphatics leads to the development of hypoproteinemia in these patients and its demonstration is important in the diagnosis of intestinal lymphangiectasia. The disease can be secondary to congenital, secondary or idiopathic defects in the formation of the lymphatic ducts. In the present report, we describe a case of 15 years old female presented to our hospital with history of generalized edema, bilateral hand spasm, and diarrhea. Endoscopy of the patient revealed White spots (dilated lacteals), white nodules, and submucosal elevations were observed. Changes suggestive of the disease includes White villi and/or spots (dilated lacteals), white nodules, and submucosal elevations are observed. Xanthomata’s plaques are often visualized, there are no specific treatments for patients with PIL. treatment of patients with primary intestinal lymphangiectasia involves control of symptoms with the use of dietary, pharmaceutical, and behavioral modifications.

A 28-year-old male patient, presented with a one-week history of pain and itching on the skin of the left upper leg. Erythematous indurated, warm and painful on palpation, subcutaneous plaques and nodules were clinically observed, affecting the skin of the left upper leg, within a recent black-wolf tattoo. The diagnosis of traumatic panniculitis with superposed bacterial infection, provoked by a wolf tattoo was made.  The patient underwent 7-days systemic antibiotic treatment regimen and topical application of iodine povidone unguent under occlusion for 7 days. Significant alleviation of the subjective complaints was achieved within the first week, with a total clinical resolution of the symptoms. The role of the procedure as a source of trauma for subcutaneous inflammation (traumatic panniculitis) and the contamination of the equipment or the staff (infective panniculitis) in simultaneously triggering of the pathogenetic chain of the reported Wolf’s panniculitis could be present.
