Energy drinks have been around for a long time, but they have just become popular in the markets in the last few years. This is a case report on fatal toxicity involving suicidal ingestion of a traditional energy drink called “Sukuday”. An autopsy of the corpse was done and it revealed multi-organ congestion and the presence of spume in the respiratory tract. The toxicological analyses of a sample of Sukuday revealed essentially alcans (C14 -C31).C24 H38 O4 probably 1, 2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, diisooctyl ester also called (Diisooctyl Phthalate, DIOP) was found at 22.8%, or the C16H22O4 (1, 2 Benzenedicarboxylic acid, mono [2 ethylhexyl]) ester also called (Mono [2-ethylhexyl] phthalate, MEHP). Traces of oxycodone were detected and identified by UPLC DAD/UV and confirmed in GC-MS. The literature on the toxicity of such substances was discussed.

Long Time

Filariasis has been a public health problem in Indonesia for a long time and WHO has established this disease as a neglected disease which is a public health problem in the world, therefore a global filariasis elimination program that must be achieved in 2020. This article compiles some literature for writing references related to the development of global filariasis elimination and the progress of filariasis elimination in Indonesia particularly.  Filariasis elimination program in Indonesia has been running at least 26 districts that have stopped implementing mass drug administration (MDA) from 239 endemic filariasisdistricts. The remaining districts are expected to have implemented MDAstart from 2015 so that the year 2020 is completed and verified also given predicates of filariasis elimination according to global target of filariasis elimination. Management-based and community-based research is important to determine the best model of elimination. There are still many challenges in increasing coverage, so that continuing education efforts on filariasis and the importance of treatment will motivate communities to play an active role in achieving maximum coverage targets, and national filariasis elimination targets can be achieved by 2020.

Rule Out

A 27 year Old male developed seizures after receiving a single 20 mg/kg dose of praziquantel for the treatment of an intestinal Hymenolepis nana infection. On further clinical and laboratorial evaluations, he was found to suffer from an until then asymptomatic parenchymal brain cysticercosis. Praziquantel must be used with caution in those areas where cysticercosis represents a mayor public health problem. The occurrence of unexpected seizures in an individual being treated with the compound, must prompt clinicians to rule out cysticercosis of the CNS.

Uncommon Location

The hydatid cyst is a parasitic pathology which is endemic in Tunisia and presents a public health problem. Hydatid cysts located in the retroperitoneum, especially around or in the kidney, are rare and only represent 5% of visceral locations. The kidney is the most commonly affected organ of the urinary tract. The psoas muscle is an uncommon location and not less than 70 cases have been cited. We report the case of an unusual presentation of a right kidney hydatid cyst associated with a psoas muscle location. To our knowledge, this association of double retroperitoneal location has not been reported in the literature.

False Allegations

Child sexual abuse is a public health problem worldwide. When a court carries out an investigation into cases of sexual abuse, they are likely to ask for a genital examination report from a forensic pathologist indicating whether they believe sexual abuse contact has occurred. Any suspicion about the sexual abuse of a child should be evaluated prudently. Nevertheless, the investigation of sexual abuse is sometimes undertaken according to misguided or unnecessary complaints from concerned parents suffering from mental illness.
