Hair Transplant

Androgenetic alopecia is a common condition, accounting for about 95% of all male hair loss. Standard therapeutic solutions recommend the use of minoxidil, finasteride, spironolactone, nutritional supplementation, phototherapy and hair transplant surgery. An increasingly popular alternative method that has been used in the case report is platelet rich plasma (PRP) mesotherapy characterized by autologous character, minimal invasiveness and no serious side effects. A series of 3 treatments was performed at 3-week intervals. The effects of using medical photographic documentation after completing a series of treatments.

Difficult Cases

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that manifests in the first three years of life. Children may attend hospital for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures at different points of their lives. Due to increased anxiety of patient and family members, uncooperative or combative behaviour, these patients are considered to be difficult cases for anaesthesia. Overweight and obesity in children has become endemic and perioperative complications are more frequent in these patients. A versatile approach should be adopted for management of these patients.

Failure To Progress

There is no clear guidance about the use of intraluminal rectal contrast combined with computerised tomography (CT) scan when assessing for anastomotic leak (AL) following colorectal resections. ALs most commonly manifest after post-operative day 5, presenting with fevers, abdominal pain, tachycardia and rising inflammatory markers. However, some patients with AL also present with subtle symptoms and failure to progress. CT with or without luminal contrast is the most commonly used investigation for diagnosis; however, there is no consensus on the best protocol. This case report highlights a need for having criteria, which include intra- and post-operative pointers when having a luminal contrast may aid diagnosis, in difficult cases. Studies show that routine contrast enema is not recommended, and furthermore, no gold standard investigation is available. This case report explores the need for a low threshold to use rectal contrast in CT in cases of prolonged ileus.

AbstractBackground:Epistaxis is a common condition presenting to emergency and ENT clinics. Most epistaxis bleeding originates from Little's area of the nasal septum. Some cases of refractory epistaxis cannot be resolved with packing or electrocoagulation.Method:The suturing technique applied is widely used in surgery. When faced with pulsatile, recurrent bleeding from Little's area of the nasal septum, all rhinologists should possess the skills to be able to suture the bleeding site, especially after failure of local cautery or packing.Case report:The authors have successfully treated four difficult cases of nasal bleeding from Little's area by suturing.Conclusion:This technique could eliminate the discomfort and complications of nasal packing. To the best of our knowledge, this report probably represents the first published case series of suturing of Little's area to treat recurrent nasal bleeding. More cases need to be treated in this way to enable further evaluation of the technique.
