The Impact of Coronavirus Disease-2019 on Men with Primary Infertility: Case Report

Lymphoma is the seventh most common type of malignancy in both males and females. It may develop in any location where lymphomatous tissue exists. Although extranodal presentation in the lower limb and pelvis are uncommon, it could present with diverse manifestations. We report an unusual case of primary extranodal large B-cell lymphoma of the ankle joint initially presumed to be a chronic osteomyelitis. This case report discusses the impact of imaging studies on decision-making and highlights the need to consider malignancy in chronic infections.

The Impact

AbstractDecreased sound tolerance (DST) is a negative reaction to environmental sounds and is estimated to affect 3.5% of the population. This case report presents the evaluation and management of an adult female with severe, longstanding misophonia. Her evaluation included comprehensive audiometric testing (including uncomfortable loudness levels) and a detailed assessment of the impact of DST on her life. She enrolled in tinnitus retraining therapy and began receiving treatment aiming to facilitate habituation of bothersome environmental sounds. This case was complicated by the advent of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and a telemedicine hybrid approach was employed to increase access to audiologic care. Using this structure, some appointments occurred in person in the clinic and others occurred via a telemedicine video visit format. Telemedicine video visits facilitated in-depth discussions, afforded the opportunity to answer questions, and provided the option of cloud-based remote programming of on-ear devices. Future care will continue to employ a hybrid approach.

Complications And Mortality

Introduction: Hyperbilirubinemia – a condition of elevated serum bilirubin above the reference range, is common in hospitalized patients. The reasons for the increase in the bilirubin level can be pre-hepatic, hepatic, and post-hepatic. Sepsis is one of the most important causes of hyperbilirubinemia in critically ill patients. Case report: We present a 30-year-old woman with no past medical and drug history who was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to multiple trauma and fractures due to a fall from height. During the ICU stay, the patient developed jaundice with a high increase in the bilirubin level. A diagnosis of sepsis-associated cholestasis was considered after ruling out other possible pathologies. The hyperbilirubinemia improved with the early management of sepsis concomitant supportive medical therapy. Conclusion: Early recognition and treatment of sepsis as a cause of cholestasis should be considered in ICU patients. Drugs targeting mitochondrial function would provide rapid hepatic recovery reducing complications and mortality. Keywords: Cholestasis, Critical illness, Hyperbilirubinemia, Liver failure, Sepsis

Insight Into

There are very few existing reports in adolescents about the clinical presentation and treatment challenges associated with body dysmorphic disorder coexisting with suicidal behaviour. This case report describes a 13-year old male with body dysmorphic disorder, who was completely convinced that his belief related to the disorder is true (delusional belief) and therefore had no insight into his condition. His preoccupation with the shape of his nose progressed significantly over a 2-year period to the extent that he wore a surgical mask on a daily basis to camouflage the perceived defect. The distress due to the persistent preoccupation and intrusive thinking became so severe that he started to experience suicidal ideation and attempted suicide twice with no harm sustained. This case report focuses on three treatment challenges faced by the treating team: the need of continued treatment with pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy following a cosmetic procedure, the impact of the mother’s preoccupation with her physical appearance on the recovery of the young person, and the management of suicidality. We have also highlighted the probable causative factors of the development of the illness in this patient which are consistent with the established aetiology of body dysmorphic disorder.

The Impact

Introduction:Electronic Dance Music events (EDMs) are complex mass gatherings and given published rates of illnesses, injuries, and hospitalizations, these events can place an additional burden on local health care services. Accordingly, during the planning process for EDMs many stakeholders are involved; however, local hospitals, a key part of the medical safety plan, are often excluded. In this case report, it is posited that the involvement of local hospital(s) and the resulting integration of on-site and acute-care service provision during an event, ultimately reduces the burden placed on local hospitals.Methods:Case report; synthesis of published literature.Results:A 25,000 person per day, two-day mass gathering EDM event trialed a model of collaborative planning with a local community hospital. Planning included the identification of a hospital liaison, pre-event teleconferences between event staff, contracted and public medical response teams, emergency management teams, harm reduction practitioners, public health, and hospital personnel. Throughout the collaborative planning process, vital information was shared in order to optimize patient continuity of care and streamline the transition of care from site medical response to an acute care setting. Outcomes included the prevention of unnecessary transfers to the hospital; however, those patients who required transfer had their initial treatment started prior to leaving the venue. Further, collaborative planning also contributed to improved bidirectional data sharing to better understand the impact on the local hospital of the event, including transfers from the onsite medical team as well as transports from the community and self-presentations for care.Discussion:The collaboration of onsite medical and hospital teams improved the delivery of essential medical care to the patrons of the event and added a layer to the safety planning process essential to mass gathering events.

The Impact

The aim of this case report is to present an innovative combined orthodontic-surgical technique to disimpact mandibular second molar (MM2) using an orthodontic miniscrew and an elastic chain. The impact on the Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) was also evaluated. Using the present techinique, it is possible to expose the impacted tooth, insert a self-drilling miniscrew in the retromolar area, and remove the bud of third mandibular molar. At the same time the orthodontic force is applied with the use of an elastomeric chain that connects the head of miniscrew and vestibular and oral buttons bonded on MM2. A close traction is performed for the whole treatment time without the reactivation of the elastic force. The use of skeletal anchorage allowed the disimpaction of impacted MM2 in a short treatment time (about three months) avoiding the typical biomechanical side effects of traditional orthodontic appliance and increasing the effectiveness of the treatment. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the real advantages and disadvantages of this combined orthodontic-surgical approach.
