A 79-year-old Woman with Acute Hepatitis B Caused by the Infection of Subgenotype D1 Hepatitis B Virus in Japan: A Case Study.

ABSTRACT: A 79-year-old Japanese woman was diagnosed with acute hepatitis B based on laboratory tests showing positivity for IgM-class antibody against hepatitis B virus (HBV) core and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) as well as elevated transaminases. A phylogenetic analysis revealed that the HBV strain obtained from the patient belonged to genotype D/subgenotype D1, similar to strains circulating in foreign countries but different from those in Japan. The clinical course was favorable. HBsAg became negative within 10 weeks after the onset. To our knowledge, this is the first report of acute hepatitis B caused by subgenotype D1 HBV in Japan.

A 79-year-old woman with atrial fibrillation and new onset of heart failure.

Project description:As an alternative to oral anticoagulation, percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure is an increasingly performed procedure to prevent arterial embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Besides procedure-related complications, residual leaks, device-related thrombus formation, and dislocation of the LAA occluder have been observed during follow-up. Heart failure as a consequence of interventional LAA closure has not been reported so far. This case report describes a 79-year-old lady with permanent non-valvular atrial fibrillation presenting with New York Heart Association Class IV heart failure. Symptoms had started immediately after attempted LAA closure 11 months before. Transoesophageal echocardiography demonstrated two devices in the LAA, a large peri-device leak, a mobile LAA thrombus, a right atrial appendage thrombus, and shunting via a patent foramen ovale. Under a maximally tolerated dose of heart failure medication and edoxaban, the patient remains without bleeding or embolism in New York Heart Association Class II. Because of its unique anatomical and endocrine properties, the LAA plays an important role in situations of pressure and volume overload. Interventional LAA closure interacts unfavourably with left atrial compliance and reservoir function. Atrial and brain natriuretic peptide secretion is known to be significantly reduced after LAA closure. Both mechanisms may result in the development of heart failure. Attempted LAA closure-instead of being the solution-may create new serious problems. Development of heart failure should be assessed, and a systematic search for late leaks after LAA closure should be performed in trials investigating safety and efficacy of this intervention.

Case report: cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma in a 49-year-old woman.

Project description:BackgroundCotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma (CDL) is much less common than typical leiomyoma. Macroscopically, it displays multinodular, exophytic, placenta-like cystic masses and extends into the broad ligament, pelvic cavity, and retroperitoneal space. The seemingly malignant gross appearance of the tumor has perplexed gynecologists and pathologists; microscopically, it has no malignant characteristics, such as atypical cells, a high mitotic index, or tumor necrosis. To date, only a few cases of CDL have been reported. Here, we report a case of CDL, highlighting its gross and histological appearance, and present a review of the literature.Case descriptionA 49-year-old woman presented with a history of progressive constipation of 6 months' duration and a palpable left lower abdominal mass of 1 month's duration. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed a bulky uterus containing 2 subserosal fibroids measuring 9.9 cm × 6.9 cm × 6.3 cm and 8.1 cm × 6.6 cm × 6.8 cm, respectively. An abdominal modified radical hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. An intraoperative frozen section showed an angioleiomyoma with edema. However, the postoperative paraffin section confirmed a diagnosis of CDL. No abnormalities were observed at the 6-month follow-up visit.ConclusionsDespite its seemingly malignant gross appearance, CDL, based on its microscopic appearance, is a rare benign tumor and has a favorable prognosis.

A rare case of terminal ileum diverticulosis in a-32-year old woman

Project description:Introduction and importance: Acquired small bowel diverticulosis is rare 1% and the ileum is the less frequent occurring site 15%. Most cases were multiple and asymptomatic. This is the first case of perforated terminal ileum diverticula in a 32-year-old woman and successfully managed surgically. Case presentation We describe a rare case of terminal ileal diverticulosis, one of the diverticula was perforated, in a 32-year-old female who presented with a 2-days history of sudden epigastric and periumbilical pain and had been managing surgically. At surgery, we found multiple diverticula, one of them was perforated. Microscopically, the specimen confirmed that the diagnosis was diverticulosis. Conclusion Diverticulosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of a sudden epigastric and periumbilical pain even in this age. Highlights • Small bowel diverticulosis is not common comparing with colonic diverticulosis and occurs in up to 1% of patients.• Diverticula is more common in males than females.• We report a case of terminal ileum diverticulosis and a perforation of one diverticulum.
