Clinical Cases

AbstractMalunion or congenital disorders of the forearm might lead to biomechanical alterations and change the pronosupination motion. Occasionally, an osteotomy should be performed to correct this malalignment. Several techniques have been reported, especially 3D modeling, which is not yet widely used due to its cost. The traditional method is still mostly performed, but sometimes it may be difficult to do the preplanning. In this paper, we explain an easy method, called “giro point” technique, to perform the calculation of osteotomies using commercially available software. We present six clinical cases with good functional results, in which the calculation was performed using this method. The method is easy to follow, with adequate surgical-radiological correlation.

Clinical Cases

Subsequent to the validation of a Canadian Curriculum blueprint for Obstetric Medicine (OM), the Canadian Consensus for a Curriculum in Obstetric Medicine (CanCOM) research group was approached to develop 20 cases to address gaps in clinical exposure during clinical rotations in OM. Forty-nine Obstetric Internists were identified and 43 confirmed their affiliation to the group. Participants (N = 22) reviewed the content of the CanCOM blueprint and identified curriculum content that they considered essential for a rotation for senior General Internal Medicine residents. This survey led to the creation of the CanCOM II essential content blueprint for General Internal Medicine. Following this step, a second subgroup of participants (N = 21) participated in a Delphi survey to identify the content that should be addressed by a teaching case for senior General Internal Medicine residents. A high-level of consensus was obtained for 13 topics and a moderate level for the 7 subsequent topics resulting in the creation of the CanCOM II clinical cases available at http://gemoq.ca/cancom-ii-clinical-case-databank/

This case report describes a case of endogenous endophthalmitis in a 58 year old man upon a background of urosepsis and bronchitis. The patient was hospitalised at a department of internal medicine in another hospital. The day after admittance he was sent to our clinic for a consultation examination due to worsening of vision and pain in the left eye. The condition was diagnosed as endogenous endophthalmitis. Visual acuity at the first examination was hand movement in front of the eye. Intravitreal therapy was commenced with a combination of two antibiotics (ceftazidime 2 mg/ 0.1 ml and vancomycin 1 mg/0.1 ml) and an antimycotic agent (amphotericin B 10 μg/0.1 ml). Over the course of two weeks the patient received this antibiotic treatment intravitreally 3x in total. During the first application of antibiotics, material was sampled from the anterior chamber of the eye for a microbiological examination – the result was negative. The blood culture tested positive for staphylococcus aureus. Intravenous application of antibiotics (gentamicin 240 mg i.v. every 24 hours and amoxicillin with clavulanic acid 1.2 g i.v. every 8 hours) was set for two weeks, and then antibiotic treatment continued (ciprofloxacin 500 mg every 12 hours) and antimycotic therapy (itraconazole 100 mg every 12 hours) orally for 2 months. Four weeks after the beginning of therapy, visual acuity in the left eye was 20/100 and after two months 20/40. The study emphasises the advantage of multi-disciplinary co-operation.

Clinical Cases

With the spread of yoga, meditation, and other Eastern spiritual practices in Western countries, clinical cases of “physio kundalini syndrome” have begun to emerge. In this article I presented a case that, despite having common elements with a psychotic disorder, can be considered a typical clinical case of awakening of kundalini, since the patient was apparently able to solve his health problems without any medical intervention and says he is perfectly integrated into the community.

Clinical Cases

Abstract Background Mosquito repellent liquid containing Meperfluthrin is widely used in the daily life. Among all clinical cases that children take mosquito repellent by mistake, only a fewwere recorded with serious brain and lung damages caused by Meperfluthrin. Case presentation: This case report presents a 16-month-old child in Xiamen City of China with severe brain and lung injury caused by mistakenly taking mosquito repellent that contains 0.8% Meperfluthrin. The child was treated with mechanical ventilation, fiberoptic bronchoalveolar lavage, anti-infection, 20% mannitol for dehydration, ganglioside and neurologic rehabilitation. The child recovered after 2 months. Conclusion This case shows that the improper administration of Meperfluthrin may cause serious toxic damage to brain and lung. Clinicians and parents should pay attention to prevention and targeting treatment promptly after intoxication.
