Staphylococcal infection in terms of fetus is rare and is associated with either maternal staphylococcal sepsis or colonization that leads to vertical transmission. Antenatal invasive procedures are a recognized risk factor. Most reported newborns with fetal-onset staphylococcal infections have had a worse outcome. We report the story of two newborns who had pustular-bullous skin lesions at birth and responded successfully to antistaphylococcal antibiotics. Both neonates made complete recovery. It...

Abstract Epiphora is a bothersome condition seen in chronic dacryocystitis. The mainstay of treatment is surgical, that is creating an opening to establish a drainage pathway. With the advent of endoscope, endonasal DCR has gained popularity. Use of silicone stent in endonasal DCR has added advantage in improving the surgical outcome. And the use of DOS system in improving the success rates of endonasal DCR: (Mohammad et al. in Clin Ophthalmol 8:2491–2499, 2014) a total of 35...

AbstractIncarcerated groin hernia is a common surgical emergency. However, reports of incarcerated femoral hernia treated with elective totally extraperitoneal repair are extremely rare. A 62-year-old woman visited our hospital with lower abdominal pain and bulging from a right groin lesion. The patient was diagnosed as having right incarcerated femoral hernia containing greater omentum by computed tomography. As there were no clear findings of intestinal obstruction and peritonitis, elective surgery...

ABSTRACTAbdominal wall hernias are a common pathology and source of morbidity including chronic pain. They occur in various anatomical areas; amongst the rarest locations is the Spigelian hernia accounting for <2% of all abdominal hernias. We present a case report of a patient with chronic right iliac fossa pain caused by an incarcerated Spigelian hernia containing her appendix within the hernial defect. Rarer still is that her hernial defect penetrated all three layers of anterior abdominal wall,...

AbstractEmphysematous pancreatitis (EP) is a rare and severe complication of acute pancreatitis carrying a high mortality with only a handful of case reports and small studies reporting these cases and their management. The presence of emphysematous pancreatitis is often indicative of infected pancreatic necrosis with the mainstay of treatment being pancreatic necrosectomy; however there are cases where it may be appropriate to have a trial of conservative management, and there is a small body of...

ABSTRACTAbdominoplasty is one of the most highly requested cosmetic procedures in the USA. Although it is famed for its cosmetic value, there are few reports that discuss its therapeutic potential. Furthermore, few abdominoplasties are completed in patients over the body mass index (BMI) of 30 due to fears of increased complications.A 63-year-old male presented due to development of a large pannus following weight loss postgastric bypass. Unfortunately, because of this pannus, the patient began experiencing...

AbstractWe present a case of acute appendicitis within an incarcerated femoral hernia. This is a rare complication of the phenomenon eponymously known as a ‘De Garengeot Hernia’, which describes a vermiform appendix in an incarcerated femoral hernia sac. Our case is somewhat unique in the manner by which the affected patient had presented. Attending hospital for an unrelated elective surgery, an incarcerated hernia was diagnosed at time of admission. Thorough assessment in advance of the procedure...

AbstractA 56-year-old man presented with an 11-cm hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at segment 7 of liver. To induce left liver hypertrophy, a sequential transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and portal vein embolization before right hepatectomy were adopted. However, the tumor further increased in size despite TACE and invaded through the diaphragm to the right lung base. Anterior approach right hepatectomy with en bloc wedge resection of the involved right lower lobe of lung by endovascular staplers...

ABSTRACTExtrahepatic bile duct duplication is a rare biliary anomaly often associated with conditions like cholecysto-choledocholithiasis, choledochal cyst and malignancy. Precise preoperative diagnosis using conventional radiologic imaging still remains a challenge and use of existing classification system is equally confusing. A female patient diagnosed with choledochal cyst by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography was found to have an associated new variant of double common bile duct during...

AbstractAcute abdomens are common conditions, with many aetiologies in developing countries. Abdominal bleeding due to snake envenomation is an extremely rare aetiology. A 11-year-old girl was admitted for acute abdominal pains. She had a history of foot bite of unknown origin. Physical examination revealed palor and abdominal tenderness. At laparotomy, there were peritoneal and retroperitoneal diffuse hematomas. Laboratory studies revealed abnormal coagulation profile. Retroperitoneal and peritoneal...

AbstractFollicular pancreatitis (FP) is characterized by nodular mass composed of lymphoid hyperplasia and fibrosis. We here present radiological and pathological features of three cases of FP. The three patients were middle- or old-aged men, and nodular mass was pointed out at health examination. Computed tomography failed to demonstrate a mass. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a mass in each case. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (FDG-PET) demonstrated two nodular masses...

AbstractPituicytoma is a rare tumor that has been recently recognized and described, where only few reported cases of pituicytoma associated with Cushing’s disease. We describe a case of a 47 years old female with a history of high cortisol levels and a diagnosis of Cushing’s disease was made. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed lesion in pituitary gland compatible with microadenoma and tumor resection was carried out. The histopathological findings were of a pituicytoma with positive thyroid...

AbstractTerrible triad of the elbow and the Essex-Lopresti injury are both rare lesions with a historically poor clinical outcome. We present the case of a unique association of the two injuries with an elbow dislocation, radial and coronoid process fractures and a distal radioulnar joint dislocation due to an interosseous membrane rupture. The case was managed with closed reduction of the elbow dislocation and distal radioulnar joint followed by open reduction and repair of the damaged structures...

AbstractThe number of robotic surgical procedures for thoracic disease is increasing. The automatic linear stapler has become a necessary device in endoscopic surgery. A 67-year-old man with a history of smoking was referred to our hospital for an abnormal finding on chest x-ray. Computer tomography of the chest revealed a ground glass nodule in the right middle lobe. We performed right middle wedge resection through the assistant port using a long-shaft stapler (LSS). Because the nodule was diagnosed...

AbstractCurrent guidelines indicate that laparoscopic appendectomies are safe for pregnant patients with acute appendicitis. Recently, single- and reduced-port laparoscopic surgeries have gained popularity for nonpregnant patients, because they minimize abdominal wall trauma. Here, we describe a reduced-port laparoscopic appendectomy (RPLA) in a 31-year-old pregnant female performed at 27 weeks gestational age. Preoperative abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography imaging showed an inflamed,...

AbstractLarge bowel obstructions (LBO) are rarely caused by adhesions. Surgical management of this condition may require an open approach but closure may not always be possible. There are many temporizing measures in clinical use; however, the ABTHERA ADVANCE™ Open Abdomen Dressing has demonstrated significantly improved outcomes compared to other negative pressure wound therapy dressings. There are few cases in the literature documenting adhesive LBO and none in an acutely unwell burn patient whose...

AbstractDespite its highly malignant behaviour, glioblastoma very rarely spread beside the arachnoid layer. We describe a very rare case of a 67-year-old patient with glioblastoma, who developed a recurrent subdural hygroma associated with the subdural spread of the glioblastoma, which was confirmed histologically. Possible predisposing factors and management suggestions are discussed.

Despite the active ongoing taxonomic progress on the Madagascar frogs, the amphibian inventory of this hyper-diverse island is still very far from being complete. More new species are constantly being discovered, often within already well-studied areas. So, in one of the relatively well-studied parks in northern Madagascar, a new species of diamond frog, Rhombophryne ellae, was found in 2017.

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is deeply concerned about the risk of hearing damage from the use of Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs).Originally developed for the military, LRADs have been used for communication with large crowds and to disperse them. They can emit sound at extremely high decibel levels (up to 162 dB SPL) greatly exceeding that of a jet engine and significantly surpassing the average auditory threshold of pain (approximately 130 dB SPL). That level of sound...
