A Case of Brain Tuberculosis With an Unusual Presentation Mimicking Viral Fever During a Dengue Outbreak in Bangladesh.

Both dengue and tuberculosis are endemic in South Asian countries, including Bangladesh. Here we report an interesting case presenting as suspected dengue fever and eventually diagnosed as a case of brain tuberculosis. A 27-year-old immunocompetent male presented to us with fever, headache, retro-orbital pain, and photophobia for five days.

Ticagrelor Versus Prasugrel for the Treatment of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: Antiplatelet therapy is very important following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). New generation P2Y inhibitors (ticagrelor and prasugrel) might potentially replace clopidogrel for the treatment of post-interventional acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In this analysis, we aimed to systematically compare the post-interventional clinical outcomes and bleeding events observed with ticagrelor versus prasugrel in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Comparing mortality between fibrinolysis and primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 27 randomized-controlled trials including 11 429 patients.

Objectives: We aimed to improve the limitations encountered in previously published studies and then compare mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who were treated with either fibrinolysis or a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).

Methods: EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane databases were searched for trials comparing fibrinolysis with PPCI in patients with AMI. The only endpoint that was assessed in this analysis was all-cause mortality.

Identifying Aarskog Syndrome.

Aarskog syndrome also known as Aarskog-Scott Syndrome, Facio-digito-genital Syndrome or Faciogenital Dysplasia is a rare, X-linked disorder predominantly affecting males, characterized by facial, skeletal and genital anomalies. This is a case report of a 15-year-old male patient who visited our college complaining of poor facial aesthetics. History revealed consanguinity and his sibling to be suffering from the same.

Carcinoma of Maxillary Sinus Masquerading as Odontogenic Infection.

Malignant tumours of maxillary sinus are rare. They are usually diagnosed in the late stages when they perforate the sinus walls. The presence of large air space in the maxillary sinus facilitates asymptomatic growth of the sinus malignancy.

Validity of the fast scan for diagnosis of intraabdominal injury in blunt abdominal trauma.

Background: Blunt abdominal trauma is regularly encountered in the emergency department. The aim of the study is to determine the validity of assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) scans in the evaluation of BAT in comparison to Computed tomogram/Exploratory laparotomy (CT/FLAP).

Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at Ayub Teaching Hospital Abbottabad from January 2010 to December 2011.
