Case report: meralgia paresthetica in a baseball pitcher.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of meralgia paresthetica occurring in an amateur baseball pitcher who experienced inguinal pain and dysesthesia in the anterolateral thigh during pitching practice. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve was pushed up by the iliac muscle to the inguinal ligament at the sharp ridge of its fascia and ensheathed in the tendinous origin of the sartorius muscle. Neurolysis of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and partial dissection of the inguinal ligament and sartorius muscle promptly relieved the symptoms and the patient resumed pitching 1 month later. These anatomic variations of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve in the inguinal region might render the nerve susceptible to compression and irritation, and repetitive contraction of inguinal muscles during throwing motion might induce and exacerbate the neuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.

Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome in a Young Baseball Pitcher: A Case Report.

Project description:Background:Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a rare disease in young adults and is thought to be under-diagnosed, and its main cause is the abnormal structure between the popliteal artery and gastrocnemius muscle. The patients experience symptoms after the blood vessels are compressed. Failure to diagnose and treat PAES can cause serious sequelae. Case:A 19-year-old male baseball pitcher with PAES type 2 suffered from left calf muscle tension and foot numbness and was mis-diagnosed for nearly a year. Finally, the lesion was detected by ultrasonography and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. After surgical intervention, he quickly returned to sport. Discussion/Conclusion:PAES has 6 types. Type 2 (25%) and type 3 (30%) are the most common. Patients with this syndrome suffer from aching pain, numbness, and cramping in the calf area when they exercise. It is necessary to include this disease in differential diagnosis to implement early diagnosis, and ultrasonography is a more cheap and simple method for early detection.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.

Glioneuronal tumor with CLIP2-MET fusion: A case report

Project description:Glioneuronal tumor (GN) is one type of biphasic central nervous system (CNS) tumor that exhibits both glial and neuronal immunohistological characteristics. We report a case of glioneuronal tumor (GN) with a discovery of novel gene fusion of CLIP2-MET resulting from aberrant chromosome 7 abnormalities. The tumor exhibited typical characteristics on histological examinations. We executed an elaborate genomic study on this case including whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing. Genomic analysis of the tumor revealed aberrations in chromosomes 1 and 7 and a CLIP2-MET fusion. Further analysis of the upregulated genes revealed substantial connections with MAPK pathway activation. We concluded that the chromosome 7 abnormalities prompted CLIP2-MET gene fusion which successively leads to MAPK pathway activation. We deliberated that MAPK pathway activation is responsible for the oncogenesis of GN based on our case and other previously reported ones.

Metabolically Healthy Obesity is not a Myth: A Case Report

Project description:People with obesity who do not have the metabolic syndrome or components of the metabolic syndrome have been characterized as having metabolically healthy obesity (MHO). However, the existence of MHO has been questioned because people with MHO are at greater risk of developing diabetes and fatal cardiovascular disease than people who are lean and healthy. A 25 year-old woman with rigorously defined MHO (based on normal oral glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity (assessed by using the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp procedure), plasma triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol, intrahepatic triglyceride content and carotid intima-media thickness [CIMT]) was evaluated at baseline (BMI=37.7 kg/m2) and 5 years later, after gaining 30.8 kg (32%) in weight (BMI=49.6 kg/m2). The increase in weight was comprised of an 8.8 kg (20%) increase in FFM, 22.0 kg (42%) increase in total body fat, 8.1 kg (37%) increase in leg fat mass, 57% increase in subcutaneous abdominal fat and a 78% in intra-abdominal fat. Weight gain did not have adverse effects on fasting plasma glucose, oral glucose tolerance, beta-cell function, insulin sensitivity, plasma triglyceride, intrahepatic triglyceride content and CIMT. Adipose tissue expression of genes involved in extracellular matrix formation did not change. Adipose tissue expression of several inflammation-related genes increased by more than 30%, but was not associated with a corresponding increase in plasma cytokine concentrations, with the exception of an increase in plasma IL-6. The present case study demonstrates that some people with obesity are resistant to the adverse cardiometabolic effects of excess adiposity and marked weight gain.
