COVID 19 has created a havoc in the world and has brought the world to a standstill. Everyday we get to learn something new about the powerful virus. COVID has different varied clinical presentations. Besides respiratory symptoms many children present with GI symptoms during this 2nd wave of COVID. We present a case of a 10 year male child who presented with features of intussusception with a history of URTI 5 days prior to acute abdomen. Unlike other cases where children respond nicely to post operative conventional treatment, this child went downhill inspite of aggressive management in PICU. In view of ongoing pandemic and mother who was found to be COVID positive, a thought if the child could be suffering from COVID and its complications. Throat swab for RTPCR SARS CoV-2 was found to be positive and acute viral inflammatory markers were found to be highly elevated. A diagnosis of Severe COVID-19 with cytokine storm manifesting as intussusception was made. All children with acute abdomen should be evaluated for COVID 19. Out of all the atypical manifestations, intussusception being one of the rare manifestations of COVID 19 [1]. Key words: Covid, intussusception, cytokine storm, RTPCR.

Infectious Aetiology

Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a commensal bacterium commonly found in the oral cavity of dogs and cats. Although this organism rarely causes infection, prompt diagnosis is crucial for survival of these patients. Several unusual clinical presentations of this infection have been reported in the published medical literature. The present report represents the first case of C. canimorsus-related sepsis presenting with symptoms of acute abdomen in a patient with no known history of immunodeficiency. Prompt aggressive care and appropriate antibiotic therapy resulted in a successful clinical outcome with no long-term morbidity. This paper illustrates that clinicians should include this infectious aetiology among the differentials of patients presenting with acute abdomen, regardless of their immune status. Additionally, this paper outlines our current understanding of the epidemiology of and risk factors for C. canimorsus-associated sepsis, the pathophysiology of this disorder, and currently available approaches to diagnosis and management.

Invasive Mole

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia refers to the aggressive subset of gestational trophoblastic disease, including invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumor, and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor. These tumors may have atypical clinical presentations that can mislead the diagnosis. The reported case is a 48-year-old woman in perimenopause, without any history of vaginal bleedings nor molar pregnancy, who presented to the Emergency Department with acute abdominal pain. Serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) was highly elevated at 261 675.23 mIU/ml. A complicated invasive mole was suspected, and an abdominal computed tomography was performed, showing a moderate hemoperitoneum associated to complex cystic and solid uterine mass, with a common left iliac adenomegaly and multiple pulmonary nodules. MRI showed a multiloculated cystic uterine mass with zones of hemorrhage recalling an invasive mole with perforation of the posterior uterus wall, associated to a high abundance hemoperitoneum. The diagnosis of a metastatic invasive mole complicated of uterine rupture and hemoperitoneum was retained. A surgical intervention was decided immediately and a subtotal hysterectomy with bilateral annexectomy was done. Pathologic examination of the specimen was positive for an invasive mole. The patient was proposed for chemotherapy. This case study will increase awareness of unusual clinical presentations of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia We believe that our case will contribute to the literature not only because of the rarity of this entity in perimenopausal period, but also due the atypical clinical presentation as acute abdomen without vaginal bleeding nor history of molar pregnancy evacuation

Refugee Experience

Filistin tarihinde yaşanan 1948 ve 1967 savaşları, binlerce Filistinlinin başka ülkelere göç etmesine neden olmuştur. Günümüzde, dünya genelinde yaşayan Filistinli mülteci sayısının beş milyonu aştığı tahmin edilmektedir. Ülkelerine geri dönemeyen Filistinlilerin mültecilik deneyimleri uzun bir geçmişe sahiptir ve köklerinden koparılma duygusu ile iç içe geçmiştir. Mersin’de bulunan Filistinlilerin zorunlu olarak çıktıkları göç yollarında yaşadıklarının ve mülteci olarak günlük hayatta karşılaştıkları zorlukların Filistinli kimlikleri üzerindeki etkisi sözlü tarih yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Farklı kuşaklardan sekiz Filistinli mülteci ile yapılan görüşmelerde, dünyanın farklı bölgelerinde mülteci olarak yaşama deneyiminin, Filistinlilerin ulusal bağlılıklarına zarar vermediği görülmüştür. Filistin, mültecilerin yaşamlarında gelenekler, değerler ve duygusal bağlar ile devam etmektedir. Mültecilerin Filistin’den ayrılırken yanlarına aldıkları anahtar, tapu ve toprak gibi nesnelerin saklanıyor olması, Filistin’e olan bağlılığın devam ettiğinin işaretlerinden biridir.ABSTRACT IN ENGLISHPalestinian refugees’ lives in MersinIn the history of Palestine, 1948 and 1967 wars have caused fleeing of thousands of Palestinians to other countries.

Perception Of Time

For Gilles Deleuze's two essays ‘Causes and Reasons of Desert Islands’ and ‘Michel Tournier and the World Without Others’, the crucial question is what the perception is, what its fundamental conditions are. A desert island can be a place to experiment on this question. The types of perception are described in many critical works about the history of art and aesthetical reflections by artists. So I will try to retrace some types of perception especially linked to the ‘haptic’, the importance of which was rediscovered by Deleuze. The ‘haptic’ proposes a type of perception not linked to space, but to time in its aspects of genesis. And something incorporeal has to intervene in a very original stage of perception and of perception of time. Thus we will be able to capture some links between the fundamental aspects of perception and time in its ‘out of joint’ aspects (Aion).

This essay examines the objects in George Oppen's Discrete Series (1934). It considers their primary property to be their hardness – many of them have distinctively uniform and impenetrable surfaces. This hardness and uniformity is contrasted with 19th century organicism (Gerard Manley Hopkins and John Ruskin). Taking my cue from Kirsten Blythe Painter I show how in their work with hard objects these poems participate within a wider cultural and philosophical turn towards hardness in the early twentieth century (Marcel Duchamp, Adolf Loos, Ludwig Wittgenstein and others). I describe the thinking these poems do with regard to industrialization and to human experience of a resolutely object world – I argue that the presentation of these objects bears witness to the production history of the type of objects which in this era are becoming preponderant in parts of the world. Finally, I suggest that the objects’ impenetrability offers a kind of anti-aesthetic relief: perception without conception. If ‘philosophy recognizes the Concept in everything’ it is still possible, these poems show, to experience resistance to this imperious process of conceptualization. Within thinking objects (poems) these are objects which do not think.

The Thomas More Society of Buenos Aires begins or ends almost all its events by reciting in both English and Spanish a prayer written by More in the margins of his Book of Hours probably while he was a prisoner in the Tower of London. After a short history of what is called Thomas More’s Prayer Book, the author studies the prayer as a poem written in the form of a psalm according to the structure of Hebrew poetry, and looks at the poem’s content as a psalm of lament.

End Of The World

In several late texts, Derrida meditated on Paul Celan's poem ‘Grosse, Glühende Wölbung’, in which the departure of the world is announced. Delving into the ‘origin’ and ‘history’ of the ‘conception’ of the world, this paper suggests that, for Derrida, the end of the world is determined by and from death—the death of the other. The death of the other marks, each and every time, the absolute end of the world.
