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].

<p>We aimed to present a case with abdominal wall endometriosis following cesarean section in this case report. <br />A 32 year old 39 weeks pregnant woman with G2P1 was admitted to gynaecology clinic with abdominal lump and pain in the midline. Her physical examination included a hard and painful palpable subcutaneous mass of 4x5 cm size in the midline of the abdomen which was semisolid and irreducible. <br />Under general anesthesia, the mass on the rectus muscle was excised with the healthy tissue around with the diagnosis of endometriosis during cesarean section and the pathological diagnosis was reported as endometriosis.<br />Surgical excision is the best treatment method in abdominal wall endometriosis. <br /><br /></p>

In Pregnancy

Liddle syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic condition that causes hypertension and hypokalemia due to a gain-of-function mutation in the SCNN1B or SCNN1G genes which code for the epithelial sodium channel in the kidney. This leads to increased sodium and water reabsorption causing hypertension. We report a case of a 27-year-old pregnant woman who was admitted for hypertension and hypokalemia and later diagnosed and treated for Liddle syndrome using amiloride. Maintaining a high suspicion of Liddle syndrome in pregnancy is essential in such cases to be able to adequately and effectively treat the hypertension. Due to physiological effects of pregnancy, the dose of amiloride may need to be increased as gestational age progresses up to a maximum dose of 30 mg orally per day.

Study Participants

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

Calcific metamorphosis teeth are a great challenge to the clinician. Its diagnosis and treatment procedures are of utmost importance in providing the best treatment. Understanding the mechanism behind the discoloration of teeth is the key to get the best treatment. Internal bleaching is one conservative treatment for complete calcific metamorphosis in certain conditions, where signs and symptoms of periapicalpathosis are absent. The present paper involves a case study of 36 years old Saudi woman who faced an injury 20 years ago and presented with yellow discoloration. The patient was thoroughly informed regarding the case; all the plan options were discussed with her prior implementation. Treatment plan comprised of internal bleaching without any endodontic root canal treatment. Vital bleaching is comparatively expensive and was not chosen since the patient had financial issues. The internal bleaching proved a more economic option for her. The patient signed an informed consent form after considering all the details of the procedure.

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.

Modern lifestyle and advanced technology have given life easier, but this has led to many diseases. In advanced lifestyle irregular eating habits, eating unhealthy foods and eating spicy fast food has become a fashion and alcohol consumption is increasing day by day. All of these factors lead to different disorders. Kamala is one among the diseases which are caused due to excessive intake of sour food, alcohol, unhealthy food and when a person with Panduroga continues intake of Pittakara Aahara then he may develop Kamala. According to modern science, Kamala can be correlated with Jaundice. Clinically the Jaundice is a sign of an ongoing disease process with common signs and symptoms like yellowish discolourations of the skin, mucous membranes, the eyes, urine etc. It is characterized by increase deposition of bile pigments in body fluids and tissues. It is perceptible only when the bilirubin level and its conjugates exceeds 1.5 mg/ 100ml plasma. Here is the case study of a patient who appeared to Parul Ayurved Hospital with the history of oedema over the bilateral lower limbs, heaviness in abdomen and chest region in the last 1 year, fever since 4-5 months and yellowish discolourations of eyes, nails and urine are present. In the present study, the patient was treated with Ayurvedic treatments i.e. Virechana Karma and Shamana Chikitsa.
