Background: Treatment for distal hypospadias is a controversy among the experts. Some argue that it does not require any surgery if it does not interfere with the patient's urinary and sexuality. Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether patients with distal hypospadias need treated or untreated.Methods: The method used is a case study. Participants in this study is a 10-year-old male with distal hypospadias—location of the study in Purwokerto city, Banyumas district, Central Java. Participants were interviewed and physically examined by a doctor and nurse. The results of interviews and physical examinations are recorded and analyzed based on a literature review to determine the decision, treatment, or untreated. Results: A 10-year-old patient with hypospadias and the pediatric urologist do not give surgery advice, because the urethral opening is still close to the glans penis, and there are no symptoms of urinary dysfunction. Conclusion: Patients with distal hypospadias may be untreated as long as they do not interfere with urinary function

Tumor Remission

In up to 34% of cases, thymoma, itself a rare neoplasm, is accompanied by autoimmune disorders, two of which are thymoma-associated multiorgan autoimmunity (TAMA) and paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome (PAMS). Unfortunately, differential diagnosis between these two entities can be challenging since no strict PAMS definition exists and PAMS can overlap with a subgroup of TAMA patients with skin lesions as leading presentation. We present a case of a 68-year-old woman with a diagnosis of thymoma accompanied by myasthenia gravis, hypothyroidism and GvHD-like mucocutaneous lesions that initially could account to both TAMA and PAMS diagnosis. However, following the exclusion of humoral autoimmunity against components of epithelial cells junction, TAMA was finally established. Interestingly, the introduction of corticosteroid therapy for TAMA symptom management resulted in unexpected partial remission of thymoma with no impact on mucocutaneous lesions. Our case study is an example of two extremely rare phenomena accompanying thymomas: unprecedented TAMA presentation with GvHD-like mucositis, which as we postulate should be placed in the spectrum of TAMA, and tumor remission on steroids.

Odontoma refere-se a tumores de origem odontogênica. Sua etiologia envolve distúrbios de desenvolvimento, traumatismos e infecções. Embora o crescimento seja lento e geralmente assintomático, complicações de ordem estética e funcional podem advir da permanência desta lesão. Os odontomas podem ser classificados como complexos e compostos, e o seu tratamento envolve a remoção cirúrgica conservadora com posterior exame histopatológico. Neste artigo é relatado um caso clínico de uma remoção de um canino incluso no palato associado a um odontoma com posterior enxertia utilizando enxerto do ramo mandibular particulado.Descritores: Odontoma; Cirurgia Bucal; Dente Canino.ReferênciasTeruhisa U, Murakami J, Hitasomi M, Yanagi Y, Asaumi J.

Pseudopregnancy is a condition in which there is a firm belief of a non-pregnant woman in her pregnancy [1-3]. It is a cluster of many signs and symptoms which includes rare and strange phenomena like pseducyesis, delusion of pregnancy, false pregnancy, phantom pregnancy, historical pregnancy, simulated pregnancy etc [2,3]. This case study along with the literature review will follow the scientific explanations and the strong societal pressure on women that precipitate and maintain this disease process [1-3].

Introduction: Jaundice is a condition that is often found in the 24 hours after the birth of the baby due to hyperbilirubinemia. Hyperbilirubinemia can cause various complications and death if not treated properly and immediately. The knowledge and ability of nurses in providing nursing care for neonatal jaundice still need to be improved. This study aims to describe nursing care for neonatal jaundice in hyperbilirubinemia infants. Methods: This study uses a case study approach design through the nursing process with a sample of a hyperbilirubinemia baby with neonatal jaundice nursing problems. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observations, physical examinations and documentation studies. Data analysis in this study uses narrative analysis. Results: The case report found jaundice on the skin, sclera, and mucosa. The nursing diagnosis in this study was neonatal jaundice associated with less than 7 days of age. The intervention provided in the form of phototherapy and breastfeeding education showed the result was not found jaundice on the skin, sclera, and mucosa after three days. Conclusion: The provision of phototherapy and breastfeeding education is effective in solving neonatal jaundice.

Clinical Case Study

The authors describe a case involving an isolated posterior fibular malleolar fracture in an 80-year-old female, which was identified on multiple lateral radiographs of the involved ankle and confirmed by computed tomography. The patient was treated conservatively with 10 weeks of walking cast immobilization, resulting in poorly acceptable radiographic and clinical results. The authors review the anatomy of the area of involvement. A literature review, the clinical case study, and a discussion of the difficulty in evaluation of these types of fibular fractures are presented along with a protocol for the diagnosis and treatment of these fractures.

Necrotising fasciitis is a rare infection of the skin and underlying soft tissue. It primarily involves the extremities and rarely the breast. Primary necrotising fasciitis of the breast in a non-lactating, healthy female is rarer still. The authors present the case report of a patient presenting with primary necrotising fasciitis of the breast after sustaining a penetrating injury. The patient was managed successfully with serial debridement and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). To our knowledge only 19 such cases have been reported in the indexed literature so far. This is also the eighth case globally of primary necrotising fasciitis of the breast in a non-lactating female without any associated immunosuppression, which is the basis of reporting this case.

Background: Acute spontaneous subdural hematoma is rare. For patients under 40 years of age, we found only five previous reports. Here, we have presented a sixth case study. Case Description: A 27-year-old male initially presented with a high-intensity headache without any neurological deficits. The brain computed tomography revealed a left frontoparietal lesion, consistent with an acute epidural hematoma. However, the bone window examination showed no fracture, and at surgery, this lesion proved to be an acute subdural hematoma. Additional studies, including cerebral angiography, brain magnetic resonance imaging, and a complete coagulation work-up, were all negative. Conclusion: This case report and literature review focused on the rarity of acute idiopathic/spontaneous subdural hematomas.
