Persistent Lower Lid Swelling in an Infant – Impacted Foreign Body!

Ophthalmologists, including general practitioners definitely encounter ocular foreign bodies in their clinics. Theconjunctival fornices are potential sites of impaction. We report a case of a 9-month infant boy who was referred to us for a persistent lower lid swelling for one month. He had already been to an eye specialist before presenting to us. Upon examination, a round, pink coloured, toy cart-wheel came out of his lower eye lid of the right eye. Surprisingly, there was no associated conjunctival or adnexal damage. The authors wish to emphasize the importance of taking a thorough history and adequate general physical examination. A missing part of a toy, elucidated on history, should always raise the suspicion among parents and/or care givers for a probable foreign body in infants and children.

In Infants And Children

Foreign bodies embedded in the palate are uncommon findings and may occasionally mimic oral lesions. In the majority of the cases, foreign body embedment in the palate happens in infants and children who are unable to give history. Physical examination in the oral cavity of this group of patients in order to arrive at a definitive diagnosis is limited. We present two female infants with foreign bodies adherent to the hard palate. The first was ten months old and the second was 11 months old. In both cases the materials removed from the palate were plastic in nature (black or red in color and circular in shape). The first simulated a palatal fistula and the second a vascular anomaly.

To remove peas from the ears of a 5-year-old child, a family doctor used tweezers. In view of the child's strong anxiety, chlorine ethyl anesthesia was applied, but the removal of foreign bodies from the ears was not possible; deep wound in the right ear canal. Secondary chlorine - ethyl anesthesia; the foreign body was removed from the left ear by washing, from the right ear it was not possible. The next day, an otorhinolaryngologist will remove the foreign body from the right ear; a wound of the tympanic membrane was established.

Introduction. The history of the use of physical examination by nurses in the United States of America dates back to the 1960s. Transformation of nurses’ education and midwives in Poland also enabled the introduction of classes preparing students and nurses for physical examination. Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the scope of physical examination used by nurses in selected surgical and non-surgical departments. Material and methods. The study involved 89 nurses employed in one of the hospitals in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. The study was conducted in 2017. The work involved the method of a diagnostic survey and the research tool was a questionnaire of own authorship. The results of the study were subjected to statistical analysis using the Microsoft Excel 2013 spreadsheet and the IBM SPSS Statistics 23 statistical package. Results. There are statistically significant differences in the physical examination of the general subjects (assessment of the structure and body proportions, nutritional status), as well as the measurement of breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature during hospitalization and within the head and neck and chest. Conclusions. Nurses working in surgical wards are more likely to perform general physical examination and measurement of breathing, pulse, blood pressure and body temperature during hospitalization compared to nurses from non-surgical wards. However, when admitted to the hospital, they more often assess the arterial system. Level of education and work experience in the profession are factors affecting the frequency of physical examination.

End Stage

An 8-year-old, castrated male, Jack Russell Terrier was presented with clinical signs of uveitis and glaucoma in the right eye (oculus dexter (OD)) for 2–3 months. Ophthalmic examination revealed OD episcleral congestion, corneal vascularization, aqueous flare, iris bombe, and vision loss. OD glaucoma and uveitis were under control by medical treatment. After 8 months, the dog had acute uveitis in the left eye (oculus sinister (OS)). General physical examination, blood examinations, radiography, and urinalysis were unremarkable. No improvement was observed after for 1 month of uveitis treatment, and more examinations were strongly suggested. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed several hypoechoic masses or cysts on both kidneys. Computed tomography (CT) showed diffuse nonenhancing hypodense patches in both kidneys. Renal tumor was highly suspected, but biopsy was declined by the owner. Ten days after CT examination, the dog suddenly developed anorexia, weakness, uremia, hyperkalemia, and polycythemia. The dog was euthanatized because of the worsening clinical condition, poor prognosis, and financial constraints, and both kidneys were biopsied for histopathology. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells were positive for B-cell marker (CD20) and negative for T-cell marker (CD3). Bilateral renal B-cell origin lymphoma was diagnosed by histologic and immunophenotyping examinations. In conclusion, bilateral renal lymphoma may be diagnosed with no systemic signs except bilateral uveitis. Renal function impairment was acutely developed with severe clinical signs at the end stage of the disease. Early, aggressive, complete examinations, and treatments are strongly recommended.

A dog was referred to Alta Vista Animal Hospital with a porcupine quill penetrating the right ventricle. The presenting complaint was tachypnea and dyspnea secondary to bilateral pneumothorax. Computed tomography revealed bilateral pneumothorax without evidence of quills. A median sternotomy was performed and the quill was removed. The dog recovered uneventfully. Quill injuries are common in dogs; however, intracardiac quill migration is rare. Dogs without evidence of severe cardiac injury secondary to intracardiac foreign bodies may have a good prognosis.

Initial Imaging ◽

The Right

A 35-year-old man with history of schizophrenia presented 3 weeks after placing a screw in his right nostril. Initial imaging showed a screw in the right ethmoid sinus with the tip penetrating the right cribriform plate. On exam, the patient was hemodynamically stable with purulent drainage in the right nasal cavity but no visible foreign body. While most nasal foreign bodies occur in children and are generally removed at the bedside, intranasal foreign bodies in adults tend to require further assessment. The foreign body in this case was concerning for skull base involvement and the patient was brought to the operating room (OR) with neurosurgery for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and removal of foreign body. The screw was removed and the patient recovered with no signs of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak postoperatively. Any concern for skull base or intracranial involvement should call for a full evaluation of the mechanism of injury and intervention in a controlled environment.
