Purpose: To describe the successful use of a technique involving amniotic membrane graft for repair leaking cystic blebs following mitomycin C (MMC) trabeculectomy. Patients and Methods: A retrospective review 17 eyes 16 patients who had undergone trabeculectomy with MMC or combined cataract phacoemulsification presented leaky without hypotony was conducted. All were treated over area conjunctival advancement excision bleb minimum 1-year follow-up. Success defined as final intraocular...
6004 Background: CCRT using 3 weekly cisplatin (DDP) 100mg/m 2 is considered standard nonsurgical option for LAHNSCC. Many prefer DDP 40 mg/m assuming this to be non inferior, with better radio sensitization, and less toxic but without robust supporting evidence. We designed inferiority trial compare DDP. Methods: Multicentric RCT 100 (Control as C) x times (Test T) x7 concurrent RT definitive therapy in nasopharyngeal Primary objective was years loco regional control (LRC) rates. Secondary...
Messenger RNA vaccines are the main COVID-19 authorized for use in United States. Side effects typically minor and transient. We report a case series of four subjects with an acute myocarditis-like illness following mRNA vaccination who were hospitalized at our hospital Lubbock, Texas. Three patients young men presented chest pain after second dose mRNA-1273 vaccine. Another patient was 53-year-old white woman left arm 3 days first She later found to have decompensated heart failure,...
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a common cause of heart failure (HF) in the peripartum. Some medications are considered safe while breastfeeding. However, sacubitril/valsartan (Entresto), efficacious, not recommended breastfeeding women due to concerns about adverse infant development, and no published data suggest otherwise.
Dear Editor, Although epidemic, vitamin D deficiency is still under-diagnosed.[1] In 30% of patients it can present as proximal muscle weakness before the biochemical signs appear leading to unnecessary investigative work up. So in at-risk individuals should be kept one differential diagnosis for weakness, condition reversible and easily treated with calcium supplementation. A 33-year-old black female, was referred our hospital because elevated Creatinine kinase. She has been having...
Air embolism is an infrequent but potentially catastrophic complication. It could be a complication of invasive procedures including surgery, central line placement, positive pressure ventilation, trauma, hemodialysis, pacemaker cardiac ablation, and decompression sickness. Usually, it does not cause any hemodynamic In rare cases, lodge in the heart arrest. We present case 82-year-old white female who underwent computed tomography (CT) guided biopsy right lung pulmonary nodule. When she was...
Abstract Cardiac amyloidosis is an important cause of restrictive cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. Bone scintigraphy with [ 99m Tc]hydroxymethylene diphosphonate ( Tc-HDP) 18 F]sodium fluoride F-NaF) have been investigated in the noninvasive diagnosis transthyretin (ATTR)–related cardiac amyloidosis. We present a case 76-year-old man metastatic prostate cancer who underwent Tc-HDP bone incidental finding diffuse left ventricular abnormal uptake suggesting ATTR Review previous...
Introduction: Septic cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is a rare disease with many etiologies and diffuse array of initial presentation leading to high mortality.Case: A 25-year-old male history nasal furuncle presents an acute onset fixed dilated pupils, bilateral exophthalmos, hemorrhagic chemosis, elevated intraocular pressures, restricted extraocular motility, unresponsiveness. retinal septic emboli in the left eye present on fundoscopic exam while exudative detachment right eye. MRI/MRV...
Noncardiac causes should be kept in the differential while evaluating ST elevation on EKG. Rarely abdominal pathologies like acute pancreatitis can present with inferior leads. Once coronary syndrome is ruled out by emergent cardiac catheterization alternative diagnosis sorted. Abdominal pathologies, and cholecystitis, Treating underlying condition would result resolution of these EKG changes.
Cervical cancer is the most common malignancy in Indian women. usually spread by local extension and through lymphatics to retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Direct invasion of muscles primary growth more than metastatic involvement. We present a case carcinoma cervix post radiotherapy pelvis who on follow up presented with biceps muscle metastases as initial sign disseminated disease.
Patients with a tuberculoma typically present pulmonary involvement of tuberculosis and have risk factors for (TB). The include bacillary load, proximity to infectious case, immunosuppressive conditions, malnutrition, young age, diabetes mellitus, working in healthcare, recent incarceration, alcohol use, tobacco use. Although rare, it is possible patient despite the absence other than without involvement.
A 66-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of coronary artery disease. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) performed, and showed a medium-sized, severe fixed defect in the inferior inferolateral wall from apex to midcavity. On review prior imaging, it noted that patient had an incidental finding intramural cardiac mass on chest CT performed 8 years prior. Subsequent MRI findings consistent with fibroma left ventricle, at location MPI. Our case demonstrates uncommon cause
This paper describes comparative creep tests made on an austemtic stainless steel in atmospheres of air, nitrogen, argon, and vacuum. The results indicate that the was weakened under oxidizing conditions occurring air as compared with its behavior argon vacuum, for nitrogen being inconclusive. Significant differences ductility rate characteristics different environments were noted, much greater surface cracking observed nonoxidizing atmospheres. It is suggested air-weakening can be explained...
Deglutition syncope is a relatively rare cause of that belongs to the category neurally mediated reflex syncopal syndromes. The phenomenon related vagal in context deglutition causing atrioventricular block and acute reduction cardiac output leading dizziness or syncope. We present case series two cases syncope, which first was managed medically second with pacemaker implantation.
Though most primary brain gliomas present as a single mass lesion in the brain, this potential diagnosis must be considered differential when faced with case of multifocal lesions. Among common tumors humans, glioblastomas can classified into four classes, one which consists anaplastic astrocytomas (AA). Due to its significant malignant potential, prompt stereotactic biopsy should allow for early diagnosis. Karyotypic analysis specimen may discovery 1p12q and IDH132 gene mutations. This...
Assessment of skeletal muscle function (SMF) is clinical relevance in the prediction treatment outcome and to decide on optimal management head & neck cancer (HNC) patients. Handgrip strength (HGS) handgrip endurance (HGE) are considered as surrogate marker for whole-body function. Further, SMF depends substantially body composition (BC). Hence this study, we compared BC, HGS HGE between HNC patients healthy controls also analysed association HGS, with patients.A cross-sectional conducted 44...
The complexity of modern-day radiotherapy techniques calls for greater accuracy in target volume delineation which requires intensive training and expert guidance. In this study, we intend to evaluate the status across radiation oncology curriculums India utility webinars teaching it.We organized daily on topics radiological anatomy common sites cancer over a period 2 weeks. At end program, 35 item survey questionnaire was shared with participants. responses were analysed are reported...
