Project description:Subcapital femoral neck fractures are associated with high morbidity and mortality. These fractures mostly occur as a result of a high-force impact from traffic accidents and a fall from a great height, though non-traumatic forms are described in transient osteoporosis during the second half of pregnancy, in convulsions during electric shock, eclampsia, hypocalcemia, osteomalacia, renal osteodystrophy and myeloma.In this report we present a bilateral subcapital femoral neck fracture in a woman sustained two days after delivery. The right hip fracture was treated with fixation using three spongious screws without capsular decompression, while for the left hip a capsular decompression by open reduction and fixation was performed. Physical treatment based on active and passive movements was immediately initiated. The patient was able to rest upon her right leg within seven and upon the left leg within eight months. X-Rays showed the accurate position of fragments and implants throughout the recovery period. Twelve years later, the patient made a full recovery and the x-rays showed that both femoral heads are vital and fully recovered.Early anatomical reconstruction followed by internal fixation is crucial in the prevention of long-term complications. Complications of internal fixations include non-union (10-30%), avascular necrosis (15-33%), deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

Project description:Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) is an uncommon mesothelial tumor. The lesions may be single or multiple and usually behave in a benign or indolent fashion, sometimes persisting for many years. In the present case, a 37-year-old woman had experienced primary infertility for 12 years, and a diagnostic laparoscopy was performed. Approximately 200 mL of dark red, free fluid in the pelvis and more than 10 yellow-white nodules on the surface of the right round ligament, sacrum ligament, right fallopian tube, and both sides of the uterus were found. A lesionectomy was performed and immunohistochemical markers indicated WDPM with adenomatoid tumor. The patient was monitored by computed tomography and serum CA125 (cancer antigen 125) levels for 49 months with no recurrence. WDPM and adenomatoid tumor are both benign tumors of mesothelial origin. Because of the lack of effective radical treatment, regular follow-up is sufficient. However, the effects of estrogen and progesterone on WDPM and adenomatoid tumors during ovulation or pregnancy remains unclear. Although WDPM is not life threatening, a strategy to fulfill the fertility requirements of women with this condition is a new challenge for infertility doctors.

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.

Project description:The objective of the current study was to build predictive models for suicidal ideation in a sample of children aged 9-10 using features previously implicated in risk among older adolescent and adult populations. This case-control analysis utilized baseline data from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, collected from 21 research sites across the United States (N = 11,369). Several regression and ensemble learning models were compared on their ability to classify individuals with suicidal ideation and/or attempt from healthy controls, as assessed by the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Present and Lifetime Version. When comparing control participants (mean age: 9.92±0.62 years; 4944 girls [49%]) to participants with suicidal ideation (mean age: 9.89±0.63 years; 451 girls [40%]), both logistic regression with feature selection and elastic net without feature selection predicted suicidal ideation with an AUC of 0.70 (CI 95%: 0.70-0.71). The random forest with feature selection trained to predict suicidal ideation predicted a holdout set of children with a history of suicidal ideation and attempt (mean age: 9.96±0.62 years; 79 girls [41%]) from controls with an AUC of 0.77 (CI 95%: 0.76-0.77). Important features from these models included feelings of loneliness and worthlessness, impulsivity, prodromal psychosis symptoms, and behavioral problems. This investigation provided an unprecedented opportunity to identify suicide risk in youth. The use of machine learning to examine a large number of predictors spanning a variety of domains provides novel insight into transdiagnostic factors important for risk classification.

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.

Project description:An 82-year-old woman with a history of LD stage SCLC of her left upper lobe nine years earlier, had been treated with five cycles chemotherapy cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and etoposide (CDE)) resulting in a complete response. She received prophylactic cranial irradiation. Now she presented with a palpable mass in the right supra-clavicular fossa. Her further medical history revealed coronary vascular disease, for which she underwent PTCA; mild aortic valve stenosis and a pacemaker to treat a third degree AV block. She has NYHA class II. She had a history of cigarette smoking but she stopped when SCLC was diagnosed nine years ago. She had no dyspnea

Project description:BackgroundSpontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognized and important cause of acute myocardial infarction, particularly in women under 50, often with minimal risk factors. Many patients have underlying arteriopathy, most commonly in the form of fibromuscular dysplasia.Case summaryA 38-year-old woman presented to the hospital with chest pain and elevated high-sensitivity Troponin. Invasive coronary angiography demonstrated SCAD of the left anterior descending artery. The same day the patient developed a severe progressive headache and subsequent imaging revealed a left vertebral artery dissection. She was managed conservatively with optimal medical therapy and was successfully discharged from hospital on Day 7.DiscussionTo our knowledge, this is the first case report of simultaneous spontaneous coronary and vertebral artery dissections not related to pregnancy. It highlights not only the importance of recognizing and accurately diagnosing SCAD, but also of appreciating the possibility of underlying arteriopathy: this is paramount to ensuring appropriate investigations, follow-up and assessment of any unexplained symptoms in this patient group.
