The present article addresses issues related to feline leptospirosis. The causative agent of the infection is reviewed, alongside its morphology and up-to-date taxonomic classification including the concepts of serogroup and serovar. The fact that leptospirae can infect cats is confirmed. Reservoirs and sources of the infection are listed, as well as transmission routes represented as schemes courtesy of the world’s leading institutions specialising in research into human and animal leptospirosis. Taking into account current statutory regulations and scientific knowledge on leptospirosis, the present article offers an analysis of common myths and misconceptions regarding leptospirae, clinical manifestation of the infection in cats and pertinent issues related to the diagnosis of leptospirosis, including differential diagnosis. Cats’ resistance to leptospirosis on the level of the species is reviewed, and data are presented substantiating that treating leptospirosis in cats is unnecessary and might have detrimental impact on their welfare. Additionally, the absence of tools for the specific prophylaxis of feline leptospirosis worldwide is highlighted.

Ayurveda believes in different pathology which sets in different Srotas to produce different diseases. Whenever a favorable condition and situation arise, diseases will manifest. Nanatmaja Vikara, Anubandha, Gatavata and Avarana are different pathologies explained in Ayurveda. Avarana is one of the most difficult concept to understand teach and incorporate in clinical practice. It is either least observed, diagnosed or goes unidentified due to lack of skill. To understand and analyze the Avarana, Meticulous knowledge of basic concept of Ayurveda is essential. It is assumed that symptoms complex in Avarana leads to misunderstanding, wrong diagnosis and sometimes end with complications. The symptoms produced in Avarana are based on the principles of Rupahani (Karmakshaya), Rupavriddi (Karmavriddhi) and Rupantara (Anya Karma). The present article is an attempt made to have a critical clinical study of role of Avarana in the manifestation of Rupavriddhi, Rupahani, Rupantara.

No reports of metastatic thyroid carcinoma in the maxillary, ethmoid, or sphenoid sinuses can be found in the literature. A woman with severe posterior epistaxis was examined recently. She had undergone a partial lobectomy for a thyroid tumor 16 years previously. Hemorrhagic thyroid tissue was in the maxillary sinus. The results of subsequent examinations indicated thyroid deposits in the lung and spine. The patient received radioactive iodine, 100 MCi. Her lung and spine deposits lysed, and she experienced no further epistaxis. Thyroid carcinoma's ability to metastasize to a paranasal sinus is documented here. Epistaxis after a thyroidectomy for cancer now must be considered an unusual clinical manifestation of metastatic spread, unless otherwise proved. The differential diagnosis of epistaxis must now include thyroid carcinoma metastatic to the sinonasal tract.

ABSTRACT Endodontic-periodontal lesion is a clinical manifestation of the pathologic intercommunication between pulpal and periodontal tissues. In general, these lesions are multifaceted in nature and can have a varied pathogenesis. Fundamental to our understanding of the pulpoperiodontal lesions is the key role of the pathogenic ecosystem that exists within this complex structure. Evidence suggests that there exists a wide range of microbial species in the periapical and periodontal tissues and that their concurrent pathogenesis is constantly linked to the bacterial interrelations between the two tissue types. Understanding the microbial involvement is of utmost significance as it offers a rationale for differential diagnosis and subsequent management of such lesions. This review has attempted to provide a basic insight on the microbiome or the microbial flora entailed in the bidirectional pathogenesis of endodontic-periodontal lesions.

Benign neonatal sleep myoclonus (BNSM), is a disorder generally mistaken for seizures during the newborn period. Benign neonatal sleep myoclonus is featured by myoclonic "lightninglike" jerks of the extremities that exclusively occur during sleep; it is not associated with epilepsy that occur only during sleep and cease abruptly when the child is agitated. This case reported was a 50 days-old baby boy with a history suggestive of abnormal movements for limbs noted over the preceding 7 days. Diagnosis of BNSM in infant based on history taking, clinical manifestation, and with no electroencephalographic changes. BNSM is usually not associated with any other neurologic impairment and spontaneously subsides within the first year of life. Its importance lies in the differential diagnosis with the epileptic, especially myoclonic, seizures of infancy. BNSM can be misinterpreting for neonatal seizures or even neonatal status epilepticus, the recognition of benign sleep myoclonus of infancy is imperative to elude unnecessary diagnostic studies and treatments.

Depending on the causative agent, the differential diagnosis for acute nontraumatic weakness presentation can range from life threatening to trivial. Practitioners’ comfort and experience with the rapid identification and evaluation of presenting neurological deficits vary widely. Given this fact and the reality that neurological presentation of weakness is common, the potential for missed diagnosis increases. To enhance knowledge of potentially life-threatening or morbidity-inducing complications, this article provides a systematic framework for physical and diagnostic evaluation of the most common differentials for acute causes of nontraumatic weakness.

The present article is devoted to analyzing the present state of the Russian science of translation and its historical perspective. The rationale behind this article is the fact that in Russian academic community there is a persisting viewpoint that research in translation studies is an auxiliary and applied area of linguistics and that science of translation does not exist at all because it is diluted in pluridisciplinary continuum and, which is essential, does not have scientific paradigms. We will attempt to understand whether this opinion is true, and in order to do it we will examine history of scientific knowledge about translation activity and analyze the present state of the discipline that is known at present as “science of translation” in Russia. Thus, the article addresses two intertwined tasks: to prove that Russian theory of translation has scientific paradigms and to characterize research in translation studies in Russia in historical perspective and demonstrate its close interrelation with science of translation in the world.

AbstractAstrobiology is a discipline that is expanding its field of investigation not only in the natural sciences, but also in the social sciences. It is for this reason that the ethical aspects are progressively emphasized leading to a point where the whole field requires a specific handling. The appellation ‘astrobioethics’ is now considered as not only relevant, but also a true issue for the future of Astrobiology. Astrobioethics is the subsection within astrobiology that is accountable for studying the moral implications of, for example, bringing humans to Mars, the Planetary Protection Policy, the social responsibility of the astrobiologist to society, etc. It is in this way that the present article outlines a path for astrobioethics, as being a fertile field of study and an opportunity to trade scientific knowledge in a transdisciplinary way.

We present an esthesioneuroblastoma, an extremely rare tumor with unknown aetiology and whose clinical manifestation is highly unspecific, including asymptomatic patients with only nasal cavity lesions on radiology images. In this case, we review the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. The doctor must consider this pathology within the differential diagnosis of unspecific cerebral and nasal symptoms, especially the cases in which the nasal cavitity lesions detected by images are obvious, due to its special diagnosis and treatment.

Introduction: Demodex mite is an external parasite which is implicated in various ocular conditions like anterior blepharitis, posterior blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, chalazia and others. Although demodex has been shown to be a causative agent of chalazia, occurrence of a solitary inflammatory nodule due to demodex infestation has not been reported in literature. Case: Our case describes the occurrence of an upper eyelid mass in a 62-year-old female which was found to have an associated demodex infestation. Conclusion: This is the first report of demodex infestation presenting as a nodular eyelid mass. This parasite needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis of eyelid masses as this condition requires specific management.
