Objectives: Hemorrhoids are among the most common complaints worldwide, ranging from painless rectal bleeding to prolapsed hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids can be classified into external and internal types. External hemorrhoids do not need any specific treatment unless they are cause pain, bleed or become thrombosed. Methods: This study is a prospective study (case series study), approved by ethical committee, conducted on Fifty patients with prolapsed pile, 46 of whom were males and 4 were females and were collected in the span of 2 years from Sulaymaniyah Teaching hospital and Shar hospital. Topical application of mannitol included a gauze soaked with mannitol solution and applied to the prolapsed hemorrhoids. Results: All the patients presented with prolapsed hemorrhoids, 46 of them were males and 4 of them were females. Most of patients were heavy workers (46%), while students made up (18%), employee (22%), retired (8%) and free workers (6%). The most common clinical presentations were constipation (72%), anal pain (68%), bleeding (50%), itching (14%), discharge (4%) and  prolapse only (6%). Conclusions: Prolapsed hemorrhoid can be managed conservatively by topical application of mannitol as it decreases edema, causing the hemorrhoidal tissue to retract to its position.

Objectives: Analysis of the pattern of prostatic disease in Faisalabad. Design of Study: Case series study. Setting: Department of Pathology, University Medical and Dental College (UM&DC) and Meezan Laboratory (ML). Period: Duration of the study is three years. Methods and Materials: All prostatic specimens presenting to the Pathology department at the UM&DC and ML for histopathology were included. Results: During this period 540 prostatic biopsies were examined. The mean age of the patients was 67 years. Out of these 467(86.5%) were benign, 2 (0.3%) had prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia and 71 (13.5%) were malignant. All the cases of malignancies were adenocarcinomas. Most of them were well differentiated (Gleason’s score 2-4). The highest incidence of hyperplasia and malignancy occurred between 60-70 years of age. Conclusions: The incidence of prostatic cancer is on the rise and measures should be taken for early detection.

Objetivo: Determinar los agentes microbianos más frecuentes en pacientes de UCI con diagnóstico de sinusitis nosocomial en el Hospital de San José, período de dos años. Diseño: Estudio observacional tipo serie de casos. Materiales y métodos: Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 18 años con una estancia hospitalaria mayor a 48 horas, que desarrollaron sinusitis nosocomial de acuerdo a los criterios de los Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Uso de dos técnicas: punción y lavado de seno maxilar. Resultados: 19 pacientes que cumplen los criterios de sinusitis nosocomial. Edad promedio 55 años, predominio sexo masculino. El 94.7% tuvo sonda orogástrica, 89.5% intubación orotraqueal y 89.5% ventilación mecánica. Hubo aislamiento polimicrobiano de gram positivos, gram negativos, anaerobios y hongos. La mortalidad en UCI fue 32%. Conclusiones: Se presenta una adecuada sensibilidad al tratamiento con vancomicina y piperacilina tazobactam en esta patología. El rendimiento diagnóstico es igual al realizar lavado y punción del seno maxilar.Objetive: To determine the microbial agents on UCI patients who have beendiagnosed with nosocomial sinusitis at the San Jose Hospital, (Bogota, Colombia) in a two-year period. Design: Case series study. Materials and methods: Patients who were older than 18-year olds, with a hospitalization longer than 48 hours who developed nosocomial sinusitis, according to the criteria established by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) were included. Two techniques were employed for data collection: puncture and maxillary sinus wash. Results: 19 patients fulfill the criteria requirements for nosocomial sinusitis. Average age was 55 years old. Population mostly was composed by male individuals. 94.7% had a gastric tube intervention; 89.5% had tracheal intubation 89.5% mechanical ventilation. Polymicrobial isolation with gram positive, gram negative, anaerobic and fungi were identified. Mortality in critical care unites was 32%. Conclusions: An adequate sensitivity to treatment with vancomycin and piperacillin tazobactam was evidenced in this pathology.To perform a washing or maxillary sinus puncture had the same efficiency fordiagnosing this disease.

Introduction For some people the appearance of their hands is as important as function. Upper limb scarring can cause some patients distress. Skin camouflage is an intervention that can be used to reduce the visual impact of a scar but there is limited published evidence for its use for hand scarring. Methods This is a case series study with a primary objective to determine whether skin camouflage reduces distress in patients with an upper limb scar and to evaluate this new service. Patients experiencing distress from an upper limb scar were recruited from a hand therapy outpatient clinic. The intervention delivered was a one hour skin camouflage session. Photographs of the upper limb pre and post skin camouflage intervention were taken. The patient-rated Michigan Hand Questionnaire (MHQ) and Derriford Appearance Scale (DAS24) were completed before treatment, at 1 week and 1 month after treatment. Results Six participants reporting distress from an upper limb scar received skin camouflage intervention. Only three out of six participants completed all follow-up. All three showed improvement in at least two domains of the MHQ (function and aesthetics) at one month post treatment. Increased confidence during functional and work-based activities was also reported on the DAS24. Participants reported increased engagement in daily activities as a result of being able to camouflage their scars. Conclusions This small case series shows that skin camouflage intervention may be beneficial for some patients who are experiencing distress related to an upper limb scar by increasing function and self-confidence.
