Histoplasma capsulatum is a fungal organism that causes systemic histoplasmosis. It commonly asymptomatic in healthy immunocompetent individuals. The clinical symptoms of chronic cavitary histoplasmosis are typically seen the immunodeficient population, particularly smokers with pre-existing structural lung disease. We report case an patient from endemic area without pathology. She presented complaining right hypochondrial pain and had no history respiratory nor suggestive immunosuppression,...

This study aimed assess anticipated for medical advice when experiencing a potential among women in Palestine identify their presentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A convenience sampling method was used recruit adult from hospitals, primary health care facilities, public areas across 11...
Drugs can have a wide array of effects on hematological cells, including red blood cells (RBCs), white (WBCs), and platelets. Drug-induced hemolytic anemia (DIHA) be explained by three different pathophysiological mechanisms. We present case premature neonate born at 34 weeks gestation who was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). He developed respiratory difficulty with mottled skin suspected bacterial sepsis due necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The patient eventually started...
Nerve sheath myxoma (NSM) is a very rare benign nerve tumor that mostly affects young adults, with peak incidence in the 30s. Patients usually present an asymptomatic swelling commonly affecting dermis and subcutaneous tissues of head, neck, upper extremities. Lower extremities are much rarer location, when this occurs, knee/pretibial region most common location. NSM has not been reported within anterior tibialis muscle.The authors first case muscle 39-year-old man presented as deep left...
Oncoplastic breast surgery has become a major player in modern surgery.It broadens the indications for breast-conserving surgery.

Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is an uncommon primary malignant tumor of the bone, mostly affecting 5-20 years age with male predominance. It commonly affects diaphysial region long bones, while small bones hands and feet are extremely rare (3-5%) to be affected. The authors report a case calcaneal ES which was misdiagnosed as bacterial chronic osteomyelitis treated inappropriately. A high index suspicion required in diagnosing tumors at sites avoid undue delay initiating appropriate therapy. As...
Abstract Diagnosis of myxoma can be difficult given its variable presentation and while adopting common sense in diagnosing this condition, physicians should also aware atypical presentations. Herein we present a 47-year-old heavy smoker presented with massive blood-stained expectoration. He was later diagnosed cardiac managed accordingly.
Testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) are benign intratesticular that occur mostly in male patients with congenital hyperplasia (CAH), their prevalence these populations can reach up to 94%. We hereby report a child known CAH, presented bilateral irregular testicular masses which were diagnosed as TARTs. TARTs first reported 1940, They named due resemblance tissue, they almost always but blunt spermatogenesis and endocrine function of the testis leading infertility, by combination clinical...
