Purpose: To briefly discuss a young, otherwise healthy Caucasian male who presented to an emergency department with the complaint of acute scotoma. Observations: External ocular and anterior segment examination were unremarkable. A dilated fundus examination of the right eye showed a wedge-shaped area of retinal whitening and cotton wool spots in the inferior macula between the optic nerve head and fovea.
Pulmonary vein thrombosis (PVT) is an uncommon disease with a very similar clinical presentation as pulmonary artery embolism. We present a case of a 53 year old female patient who presented with chest pain and shortness of breath and was later found to have pulmonary vein thrombosis. The diagnoses was established with a CT scan of chest which showed a filling defect in a right segmental pulmonary vein. Patient was started on heparin drip and later discharged on oral apixiban. Three month later, CT scan showed resolution of thrombus.
Introduction: Total intravenous anesthesia is used more and more in the neurosurgical patient, which has been considered a complex technique per se, which together with the changes that occur in the patient with neurological pathology make it even more complex. Objectives: The present review aims to evaluate in a practical way the main pharmacokinetic models and correlate them with the changes that occur in neurosurgical patients. Methodology: PubMed, Science Direct was searched using intravenous anesthesia, spinal surgery, neurosurgery as search terms.
Back ground: Coccydynia is a pain in the coccyx. It mainly affects females. Approximately 14% of coccydynia occurs due to delivery trauma. Muscle Energy Technique (MET) and stretching exercises are mainly used to treat the musculoskeletal disorders. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to compare between the effect of muscle energy technique and stretching exercise in the management of post-natal Coccydynia. Methods: Forty volunteers, multi-Parus femalesubjects suffering from Coccydynia after six weeks post-partum.
COVID 19 COVID-19 has led to severe and acute losses in many economies around the world due to illness and government-mandated social distancing orders.
The study examined pain reduction level of patients with knee osteoarthritis after a 12-weekexercise programme: Coronavirus prevention protocols implication. Lack of physical activity is associated with muscle weakness, pain, joint stiffness, decreased range of motion and general deconditioning which lowers immunity. The research design is quasi- experimental. Sample consist of randomly selected 100 knee osteoarthritis patients, age range of 25-85 years, clinically diagnosed with mild to moderate knee deformity, without record of knee surgery. Height, weight, BMI were recorded.
We report the case of a 43-year-old woman who had a laparoscopic uterine fibroid resection, admitted for rapid progressive abdominal distention, and for whom MRI and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of diffuse peritoneal leiomyomatosis. This begnin pathology is rarely described in the literature and its knowledge and important because of the pseudotumoral morphological appearance.
Antecedentes: El cáncer de Tiroides es la neoplasia endocrina más frecuente, ubicándolo en el onceavo lugar a nivel mundial; en México se ubica en el décimo lugar con una prevalencia aproximada de 1% y una incidencia del 10.2%. Objetivo: Determinar que los niveles persistentes o en incremento de los Tg-Ac son un marcador de recurrencia del cáncer diferenciado de tiroides.
Mucormycosis is a very aggressive invasive fungal disease. One of its type is the rhino-maxillary (RMM) type which predominantly involved nose and maxilla. Commonly, this disease occurs in persons with immunosuppression, diabetic ketoacidosis and those on antibiotics, steroid or immunomodulaters which are now commonly used in the Covid 19 treatment. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can reduce the mortality and morbidity of this fatal fungal infection.
Background: In the present scenario of Covid-19 lockdown, physical inactivity has risen remarkably. Unhealthy binging is on a rise due to erratic working hours and consuming comfort foods. Combating stress, anxiety, and boredom with desserts and high-calorie food is a commonly noted behavioral pattern. Therefore, this study aims to assess the impact of paradoxical diet patterns on obesity during this phase of lockdown. Objective(s): The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on eating behavior of urban middle-aged people.
