Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic recessive disease with an incidence of approximately 1/300,000 live births [1]. It is characterized by congenital malformations in multiple organs and bone marrow failure, which causes progressive pancytopenia, often initially with thrombocytopenia or leukopenia preceding anemia.
In recent decades, relevant evidence has accumulated concerning the immunosuppressive effect of uremia on the immune system. This effect has been studied very little compared with what is known about the impact of uremia on metabolism and other systems. Infections are known to be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in chronic kidney patients, but the mechanisms that trigger these processes are poorly elucidated.
According to the Gell-Coombs classification, latex causes two types of allergic reaction: IgE-mediated allergic reaction Type I hypersensitivity, and T lymphocyte-mediated or Type IV hypersensitivity. IgE-mediated latex reaction causes mastocytic and basophilic degranulation and contact urticaria, asthma and anaphylaxis. Latex reaction mediated by T lymphocytes triggers contact dermatitis.
A 25 year old male presents by EMS to the Emergency Department following a work related crush injury to his right thigh. The patient preforming manual labor at a nearby factory warehouse. His right thigh was accidentally pinned between the rear end of a forklift and a large stationary structural support pole. He was trapped for approximately 30 seconds as his co-workers forcefully pulled him out and away from the injury site.
A 50 year old previously healthy female, with no significant past medical history, was evaluated outside urgent care facility after sustaining a fall on outstretched left upper extremity. She was wearing a helmet at the time and sustained no head, neck, or torso injury. She noted immediate pain to her left wrist and proceeded promptly to urgent care for assessment. While driving to urgent care, she developed a gradual onset sore throat proceeding to a hoarse and muffled voice.
Typhoid or enteric fever is a direct consequence of consuming food and liquids contaminated with the bacterium Salmonella typhi. The involvement of the liver is fairly common in the disease. Hepatomegaly and mild elevation of liver enzymes such as AST and ALT is commonly observed. However, development of jaundice or hepatitis-like symptoms along with marked increase in liver enzymes is a rare observation [1].
A stroke is a violation or a sharp failure in the circulatory system of the brain, leading to the defeat of its various departments. Together with the violation of blood flow and the cessation of oxygen supply to certain parts of the brain, energy mechanisms are violated in them.
Nobody knows what life is. No one knows why normal physiological processes turn into pathological processes. Disease, like life itself, cannot be given an exhaustive definition, since disease is a special form of the life process, a qualitatively new form of life activity that occurs in response to an extreme stimulus and manifests itself in distorted regulatory mechanisms and a decrease in adaptability.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the public health problems of concern worldwide [1]. The incidence of CKD in Western countries has reached 11%-15%, and the situation in China is not optimistic [2]. A large number of studies have confirmed that 5% of CKD patients will eventually enter Chronic Kidney Failure (CRF) [3]
The saphenous nerve is the largest cutaneous branch of the femoral nerve with roots at the L3-L4 level [1]. It travels with the femoral artery and deep femoral vein down the medial thigh before exiting at the subsartorial canal (a.k.a. Hunter's canal or adductor canal) and continuing its course alongside the saphenous vein [2].
Pyogenic liver abscess is the most common type of visceral abscess, with an incidence of 2.3 cases per 100,000 [1]. Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) can be classified by size, etiology, microorganism, and gas formation. Gas-Forming Pyogenic Liver Abscess (GFPLA) is a rare subgroup of PLA, defined as the presence of gas within the abscess, which was first recognized in 1944 by Smith [2].
Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that results in interstitial fibrosis and ventricular hypertrophy. There is severe and asymmetric enlargement of the wall of the left ventricle and especially the septum, which may be localized or diffuse [1].
Phlegmonous gastritis is a rare disease of an acute nature with a mortality rate of approximately 50% [1]. The most frequent isolated microorganism is Streptococcus pyogenes in 70% of cases, although escherichia coli, haemophilus influenzae, proteus and clostridium have also been identified [2-5]. Clinically it usually develops in 24 hours, although on other occasions it can last for days.
LeFort colpocleisis is an obliterative surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The procedure is associated with shorter operative time, higher levels of patient satisfaction, and lower rate of complications and failure than reconstructive surgeries [1]. Postoperative pyometra is a rare, but serious complication [2,3].
Chlorine (Cl2) is a kind of yellow-green toxic gas. Up to now, Cl2 is still the most common of all the inhaled toxicants. It is widely used in household disinfection and industrial production. Accidental Cl2 exposure may occur during the production, transportation and use of Cl2 .
The Nuss procedure is a minimally invasive surgery for the correction of pectus excavatum. This procedure remodels the chest wall by employing one or more curved metal bars behind the sternum without resection of the costal cartilage [1]. Complications related to the Nuss procedure are not uncommon.
Since December 2019, a new viral infectious disease swept the globe, caused a large global outbreak and was a major public health issue. International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) announced "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)" as the name of the new virus on 11 February 2020. At the same time, the WHO announced "COVID-19"as a name for the new illness [1].
Clinical data: The patient is a 62-year-old woman from Shanghai, China. She was admitted to hospital with the chief complaint of "cough and shortness of breath for one week". She had not suffered hemoptysis, fever, palpitation or chest pain. The patient was admitted to our department on January 31, 2020 after no remission from anti-infective treatment for 3 days. She had no smoking history, no harmful gas or dust exposure. In 2018, she received cervical cancer surgery in the external hospital.
The Taiwanese population (23.5 million individuals) is a multicultural society, mostly composed of Minnan and Hakka people (hereafter referred to as the Taiwanese Han or Tw_Han) originally from East and Southeast China (93.57%), and of new immigrants (3.17%) from Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, Japan, Korea and other parts of the world [1]
The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-Coronavirus-2 (CoV-2) outbreaks in Wuhan, China has resulted in a catastrophic pandemic [1]. With time the virus has undergone a number of variations affecting the transmission, diagnosis, and treatment. The latest of them is the omicron variant [2]
