Endoscopic ultrasound for cavernous hemangioma of rectum.

Project description:Lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleed due to hemangioma in rectum is an uncommon problem. A 19-year-old female patient presented with history of recurrent episodes of lower GI bleeding 1-2 times/month for last 3 years. At the time of hospitalization her vital signs were normal and rectal examination revealed frank blood. Investigations revealed a hemoglobin level of 8.9 g/dL and normal coagulation parameters. Colonoscopy showed bluish reddish elevated nodular lesions limited to distal rectum. Magnetic resonance imaging and endoscopic ultrasound showed cavernous hemangioma.

Classical and Non-classical Presentations of Complement Factor I Deficiency: Two Contrasting Cases Diagnosed via Genetic and Genomic Methods.

Project description:Deficiency of complement factor I is a rare immunodeficiency that typically presents with increased susceptibility to encapsulated bacterial infections. However, non-infectious presentations including rheumatological, dermatological and neurological disease are increasingly recognized and require a high-index of suspicion to reach a timely diagnosis. Herein, we present two contrasting cases of complement factor I deficiency: one presenting in childhood with invasive pneumococcal disease, diagnosed using conventional immunoassays and genetics and the second presenting in adolescence with recurrent sterile neuroinflammation, diagnosed via a genomic approach. Our report and review of the literature highlight the wide spectrum of clinical presentations associated with CFI deficiency and the power of genomic medicine to inform rare disease diagnoses.

Case report: Experience of a rare case of rebound of the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon during sirolimus treatment in kaposiform hemangioendothelioma.

Project description:Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm associated with the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP), which is a consumptive coagulopathy with associated potentially life-threatening thrombocytopenia. There are no standardized treatment protocols for the management of KHE with KMP. Moreover, there are limited reports regarding the treatment of cases of rebound. Herein, we describe a rare case of rebound of KHE/KMP, during systemic sirolimus treatment, successfully treated with embolization and vincristine infusion combined with microwave ablation.

Pancreatic kaposiform hemangioendothelioma presenting with duodenal obstruction and kasabach-merritt phenomenon: a neonate cured by whipple operation.

Project description:Aim Kaposiform hemangiondothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular tumor, commonly associated with Kasaback-Merritt phenomenon characterized by thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulopathy. We report a case of pancreatic KHE presenting with neonatal duodenal obstruction and Kasaback-Merritt phenomenon. Case Report A full term male baby presented with bile stained vomiting on Day 3 of life. Contrast study and computed tomography scan showed duodenal obstruction by a 5 cm extrinsic hypervascular mass. Platelet count was 23 x 109/L. Laparotomy confirmed a vascular tumor arising from the pancreatic head compressing on the duodenum. Whipple operation was performed. Results Intestinal obstruction and thrombocytopenia resolved after surgery. There was no post-operative complications. Histology confirmed KHE. The boy was tolerating hydrolyzed milk formula and was thriving at 5 months follow up. Conclusion We reported a case of pancreatic KHE presented with neonatal intestinal obstruction and Kasaback-Merritt phenomenon. High index of suspicion is necessary for diagnosis. To our knowledge, this is the youngest patient who underwent Whipple operation.

Cysticercosis and taeniasis cases diagnosed at two referral medical institutions, Belgium, 1990 to 2015.

Project description:BackgroundFew case reports on human infections with the beef tapeworm Taenia saginata and the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, diagnosed in Belgium have been published, yet the grey literature suggests a higher number of cases.AimTo identify and describe cases of taeniasis and cysticercosis diagnosed at two Belgian referral medical institutions from 1990 to 2015.MethodsIn this observational study we retrospectively gathered data on taeniasis and cysticercosis cases by screening laboratory, medical record databases as well a uniform hospital discharge dataset.ResultsA total of 221 confirmed taeniasis cases were identified. All cases for whom the causative species could be determined (170/221, 76.9%) were found to be T. saginata infections. Of those with available information, 40.0% were asymptomatic (26/65), 15.4% reported diarrhoea (10/65), 9.2% reported anal discomfort (6/65) and 15.7% acquired the infection in Belgium (11/70). Five definitive and six probable cases of neurocysticercosis (NCC), and two cases of non-central nervous system cysticercosis (non-CNS CC) were identified. Common symptoms and signs in five of the definitive and probable NCC cases were epilepsy, headaches and/or other neurological disorders. Travel information was available for 10 of the 13 NCC and non-CNS CC cases; two were Belgians travelling to and eight were immigrants or visitors travelling from endemic areas.ConclusionsThe current study indicates that a non-negligible number of taeniasis cases visit Belgian medical facilities, and that cysticercosis is occasionally diagnosed in international travellers.

Impact of age and tumor size on the development of the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon in patients with kaposiform hemangioendothelioma: a retrospective cohort study.

Project description:IntroductionThe Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) is a severe complication of kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE). The risk factors for KMP need further investigation.MethodsThe medical records of patients with KHE were reviewed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used for the risk factors for KMP, and the area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the predictive power of risk factors.ResultsA total of 338 patients with KHE were enrolled. The incidence of KMP was 45.9%. Age of onset (P < 0.001, odds ratio [OR] 0.939; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.914-0.966), lesion size (P < 0.001, OR 1.944; 95% CI 1.646-2.296), mixed type (P = 0.030, OR 2.428; 95% CI 1.092-5.397), deep type (P = 0.010, OR 4.006; 95% CI 1.389-11.556), and mediastinal or retroperitoneal lesion location (P = 0.019, OR 11.864; 95% CI 1.497-94.003) were correlated with KMP occurrence through multivariate logistic regression. ROC curve analysis revealed that the optimal cutoffs were 4.75 months for the age of onset (P < 0.001, OR 7.206, 95% CI 4.073-12.749) and a lesion diameter of 5.35 cm (P < 0.001, OR 11.817, 95% CI 7.084-19.714). Bounded by a lesion size of 5.35 cm, we found significant differences in tumor morphology, age of onset, treatments, and hematological parameters. Using an onset age of 4.75 months as a cutoff, we found significant differences in tumor morphology, lesion size, hematological parameters, and prognosis.ConclusionFor KHE patients with an onset age <4.75 months and/or lesion diameter >5.35 cm, clinicians should be wary of the occurrence of KMP. Active management is recommended to improve the prognosis.

MicroRNA in plasma, Newly diagnosed untreated diabetic cases and healthy controls

Project description:We examined the plasma miRNA among 113 newly diagnosed untreated diabetic cases and 113 healthy controls from DFTJ cohort by miRNA array screening and Taqman real-time PCR validation. After prediction of miRNA target genes, the low-abundance proteins coded by miR-193b-3p target genes were explored in plasma of the same population. We further validated the target effect and potential cell function of differentially expressed miRNA in HepG2 cells.
