Acute cataract development in a 43-year-old woman after an ultrasound eyelid-tightening procedure

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this article is to describe a severe side effect presentation of a bilateral cataract after treatment with intense focused ultrasound (IFUS) and subsequent uneventful cataract surgery.

Observations

A 43-year-old woman presented to the emergency room with decreased visual acuity several hours after undergoing an eyelid-tightening procedure using IFUS. The patient's vision was decreased (R>L), a result of an acute cataract, which had an unusual appearance and consistency. Several weeks later, visual acuity had decreased further in the right eye to 20/400 and the patient underwent uneventful laser-assisted cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation, which resulted in full visual recovery.

Conclusions and importance

This case emphasizes the need for particular attention to possible side effects resulting from periocular IFUS, including severe ocular impact requiring surgical intervention.

An 82-Year old woman with a palpable lymph node

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

A 27-Year-Old Woman With Postpartum Papillary Muscle Rupture.

Project description:Postpartum papillary muscle rupture (PMR) is extremely uncommon and tolerated poorly with limited management options other than emergency surgical intervention. This case demonstrates the challenges of postpartum PMR in a young woman with unrecognized vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and highlights the importance of preconception screening of cardiovascular disease. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

DNA methylation profiles of 30 tissues from a 112 year old woman

Project description:The main goal of the study was to measure the epigenetic age (also known as DNA methylation age) of these tissues. Toward this end, we used the epigenetic clock software described in Horvath S (n=2013) DNA methylation age of human tissues and cell types. Genome Biology.2013, 14:R115. DOI: 10.1186/10.1186/gb-2013-14-10-r115 PMID: 24138928 Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain n=64 Illumina DNA methylation arrays from 30 tissues. For each of the following tissues, we obtained at least 2 replicates: adipose, adrenal gland, aorta, bone, bone-marrow, breast, buccal cells, cartilage, cerebellum, colon, diaphragm, esophagus , frontal cortex, kidney, heart, hippocampus, liver, lung, lymph node, midbrain, muscle, occipital cortex, pancreas, pericardium skin, spleen, stomach, temporal cortex, thyroid, whole blood.

Valproate-induced Fanconi syndrome in a 27-year-old woman.

Project description:Valproate-induced Fanconi Syndrome (VFS) is a rare complication of this therapy that has been previously described only in children with epilepsy. We report the first known case of an adult with VFS. Metabolic derangements lead patients to present with fatigue, confusion, weakness, and even bone fractures. Identification and discontinuation of the offending agent is the treatment of choice and helps confirm the diagnosis. This case highlights the importance of surveillance for metabolic derangements among patients on long term therapy with this commonly prescribed medication.

A 72-year-old with eyelid opening apraxia in Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome.

Project description:In our patient with Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome presenting with apraxia of eyelid opening, there is a possibility to be readily confused with conditions presenting in similar pattern such as blepharospasm and eyelid ptosis. Therefore, it is essential to correlate the clinical findings with electromyographic recordings and dopamine transporter scan (DaT).

Rare presentation of De Garengeot hernia in a 77-year-old woman.

Project description:A 77-year-old woman presented with a rare surgical phenomenon known as De Garengeot hernia. This unique presentation occurs due to the presence of a vermiform appendix in a femoral hernia sac. The patient presented with right-sided groin pain and a partially reducible hernia; she was otherwise haemodynamically stable and denied fevers, nausea and vomiting. The diagnosis was confirmed with CT which demonstrated a right-sided femoral hernia containing a perforated tip of the appendix. The patient urgently underwent an open appendectomy and open right femoral hernia repair using the modified McEvedy's incision.
