Patient’S History

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive and degenerative chronic musculoskeletal disease caused by thinning of the cartilage in the joint due to bone rubbing against each other. History of the patient's history, clinical picture of the physical examination and the results of the radiological examination are basic things to diagnose OA. Patient's complaints include joint pain which is a major complaint that brings the patient to the doctor, joint stiffness, crepitation, joint swelling, and changes in gait. Gait changes due to pain are found on a physical examination even though radiologically is still at an initial level. In addition it can be found that crepitus, swollen joints are often asymmetrical. The aim of this study was to determine clinical and radiological features by counselor and Lawrence of outpatient genotypes osteoarthritis patients in the rsu anutapura hammer orthopedic polyclinic in 2018. Descriptive research methods were conducted on 27 people with genital osteoarthritis who were treated at the orthopedic clinic in Anutapura Palu Public Hospital 2018. Consecutive sampling was used and data collection through interviews and observations in the form of pain, joint stiffness, crepitus, joint swelling and gait changes and radiological examinations based on Kellgren and Lawrence criteria. Data analysis using SPSS 25 with frequency distribution test. The results of the study were (1) based on the clinical picture in genu osteoarthritis patients pain (100%), pain accompanied by gait changes (70.37%), pain accompanied by joint stiffness (51.4%), pain accompanied by joint swelling (44, 4%), and pain with crepitus (37.0%). (2) based on radiology in patients with osteoarthritis genu with the highest grade 3 and 4 respectively (33.3%), grade 2 (29.6%), grade 1 (3.7%) and in grade 0 not found. Conclusion: found joint pain and a small portion of pain accompanied by crepitus, radiologists found in most grades 3 and 4 while grade 0 was not found.

Patient’S History

A previously healthy 6-year-old boy was referred to us by his primary provider, with a history of sudden onset behavioural abnormalities including irritability, sleep disturbance and anxiety. Physical examination revealed no significant findings; further analyses were not suggestive of meningitis, encephalitis, metabolic abnormalities, toxicity or any other obvious cause. On rechecking the patient’s history, an episode of throat pain 1 week prior to the symptom onset was noted. Therefore, the possibility of paediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections (PANDAS) was considered. The antistreptolysin O titre was high (1078 IU/mL), and it increased to 1194 IU/mL 4 weeks later, leading to a diagnosis of PANDAS. He was started on ampicillin and administered one dose of intravenous immunoglobulin. His abnormal behaviours subsided and he returned to a normal state within 48 hours of treatment. This report aims to provide insights into the symptomology and diagnosis of PANDAS in children.

Patient’S History

Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is an uncommon disorder with presenting symptoms that typically involve the face and orofacial structures. It is a difficult diagnosis to make, as it may present with a protracted course of seemingly unrelated dermatological, ocular, and neurological findings. This case report reviews the presentation, workup, and diagnosis of a 75-year-old woman who presented with orofacial swelling, facial palsy, and tongue fissuring that had intermittently recurred over 10 years without a unifying diagnosis. Extensive medical history, photography, laboratory workup, and radiographic imaging were performed to identify the diagnosis of MRS in this patient. Our case highlights the challenge and importance of critically evaluating and consolidating a patient’s history of their present illness, physical examination, and ancillary testing to successfully establish a unifying diagnosis, especially when the diagnosis is relatively rare and diverse in its range of affected populations and symptomatology.

A 25-year-old Filipino woman living in the USA was evaluated for a 5-month history of left eye pain and a subsequent orbital mass. Histopathological analysis of the lacrimal mass showed a mixed inflammatory process with necrotising granulomas and positive cultures for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. She was treated with antituberculosis therapy, with resolution of symptoms. Tuberculosis dacryoadenitis is extremely rare in the USA and other developed countries. It requires a high degree of clinical suspicion with special attention to the patient’s history to make the correct diagnosis. It can be treated successfully with antituberculosis therapy.

Careful Physical Examination

A series of 12 cases of Wilms' tumor, in which the diagnosis was confirmed in all instances by examination of the gross or microscopic tissue, is reported, with a survival rate of 33.3%. Four patients are living and well, 4, 8, 10, and 15 years, respectively, after treatment. All recurrences appeared less than 10 months after treatment. The sex incidence, and the sex survival incidence were exactly equal. Six tumors were in the left kidney, and six in the right. Eight of the patients were under 2 years of age when first diagnosed and treated, and all were under 7 years. The history of breast or bottle feeding was irrelevant. In a large number of these and reported cases, the presence of the tumor was the first symptom, and in a considerable number the only symptom. This fact stresses the importance of careful physical examination of infants and young children, regardless of complaint, or of lack of it. The finding of calcification in the tumor is possibly a good prognostic sign. All three patients in whom calcification was noted in the tumor are living and well. Immediate removal of the tumor by transperitoneal nephrectomy, with postoperative radiation to the area, seems to be the advisable treatment.

Preservation of library materials or library collections is an effort made so that library materials can be used by future generations. This paper describes the "Malaysian" binding method used by the Sub Division of Technical Binding Materials of the National Library of Indonesia in preserving the collection of periodicals such as tabloids and newspapers. Apart from that, this paper also describes some of the advantages and disadvantages seen in the use of the "Malaysian" method as well as the early history of using this method in preserving the collection of periodicals in the National Library of Indonesia. This writing aims to make readers, especially library managers, know and gain insight into the "Malaysian" binding method. This writing method is through descriptive research with a qualitative approach. Methods of data collection are carried out through the field research, interviews, and literature study. The results show that the National Library of Indonesia uses this method after studying it from Malaysia in May 1990. From observations it is also known that this method has several advantages, namely the binding result is stronger, the collection is more preserved, the binding can be assembled and has an aesthetic side. Meanwhile, the disadvantages of this binding method are that the process tends to be longer, more expensive, cannot be put on too many shelves because the collection will shift backwards, the pages tend to come off easily if the stitches are not strong enough, and can only be used in binding periodical collections.

Severe hypereosinophilia (HE) in children is rare, and its etiological diagnosis is challenging. We describe a case of a 30-month-old boy, living in a rural area, who was admitted to our Clinic with a 7-day history of fever and severe hypereosinophilia. A comprehensive diagnostic work-up could not identify the cause of this condition. On day 6, the rapidly increasing eosinophil count (maximum value of 56,000/mm3), the risk of developing hypereosinophilic syndrome, and the patient’s history prompted us to undertake an empiric treatment with albendazole.The eosinophil count progressively decreased following treatment. On day 13, clinical condition and hematological data were satisfactory, therefore the treatment was discontinued and the patient was discharged. Three months later, anti-nematode IgG antibodies were detected in patient serum, thus establishing the etiological diagnosis. In conclusion, an empiric anthelmintic treatment seems to be justified when parasitic hypereosinophilia is strongly suspected, and other causes have been excluded.

Primary nodular amyloidosis of the lung is an uncommon manifestation. The disease runs a benign course, but offers diagnostic problems due to non-specific radiological features entering the big field of the solitary nodule. We describe the case of a 60 year old man with multiple nodules on the left lung operated on diagnostic and therapeutic video-assisted thoracoscopy and discuss the possibilities, if any, of suspecting such a disease through radiologic characteristics along with findings from the patient’s history, physical examination and laboratory tests.

Case summary A 6-month-old male domestic shorthair cat presenting with abdominal distension and an acute history of renal azotemia was diagnosed with bilateral perinephric pseudocysts and International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) grade 3 acute kidney injury. Ultrasound-guided drainage of the cysts was performed initially; bilateral subtotal resection of the perinephric pseudocysts was later performed using laparoscopy as a more long-term solution. There was no regrowth or reformation of the perinephric pseudocysts 1 year after the procedure, and the cat remained in IRIS stage 2 chronic kidney disease 1 year postoperatively. Relevance and novel information Compared with traditional surgical approaches, laparoscopic resection of perinephric pseudocysts provides a less invasive approach. Bilateral perinephric pseudocyst in a pediatric feline patient (and associated treatment) has not previously been documented in the literature.

History Of

A 33-year-old woman presented with a 3-year history of progressive alopecia of the scalp. Past treatment with hydroxicloroquine did not show improvement. Physical examination revealed multiple areas of alopecia with atrophic aspect of the scalp, and axillary and pubic hypotrichosis. Dermoscopy showed hyperkeratosis and accentuation of follicular ostia. Anatomopathological examination revealed decrease in the number of hair follicles, upper perifollicular infiltrate and areas with fibrosis. The Piccardi-Lassueur-Graham-Little syndrome is a rare disorder, characterized by the triad of multifocal scarring alopecia of the scalp, keratotic follicular eruption and hypotrichosis of axillary and pubic regions. Management is a challenge and many medications tried have controversial results. We report a case of this rare syndrome which improved with corticoids.
