Renal cell carcinoma in the pediatric population: A case report and review of the literature.

Renal cell carcinoma is a cancer thought to originate from renal epithelial cells. Commonly seen in patients older than 60 years of age, renal cell carcinoma presents as rare pathological entity seen in urological cancers among the pediatric population. A 17-year-old female patient presented with complaints of intermittency, dysuria, and gross hematuria.

Omphalitis with Umbilical Abscess in an Adult with a Urachal Remnant.

Omphalitis is an inflammation of the umbilicus and is seldom diagnosed in adults. It is even rarer when it results from an infection of the urachus, an embryological remnant that connects the umbilicus to the dome of the bladder. Patients with omphalitis present with erythema, edema, tenderness, and purulent discharge form the umbilical stump.

Intertrochanteric fractures treated by diaphyseal support arthroplasty with hook plate vs cerclage wires only: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: The treatment of unstable fractures of the intertrochanteric region of the hip in the elderly is controversial. Conventionally, internal fixation with intramedullary nail or a dynamic hip screw is the treatment of choice in intertrochanteric fractures. Nowadays, some authors encouraged the use hip arthroplasty for management of these fractures with good outcome.

All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Augmentation Using the Native Anterior Cruciate Ligament Remnant by Suture Approximation.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture remains a debilitating orthopaedic pathology with a substantial economic and psychological burden on patients, especially athletes. The purpose of ACL reconstruction is to attain maximum joint stability and functionality, allowing patients to resume their previous level of activity. Several graft options and techniques are available for ACL reconstruction.

Efficacy and safety of systemic tranexamic acid administration in total knee arthroplasty: A case series.

Introduction: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are associated with significant postoperative blood loss. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a potent agent with antifibrinolytic activity, that can be administered via the intravenous (IV) and/or topical (intra-articular, IA) route, which can possibly interrupt the cascade of events due to hemostatic irregularities close to the source of bleeding. However, the literature contains scarce scientific evidence related to IV only TXA usage in TKA.

Biceps tendon subluxation associated with isolated greater tuberosity fracture and bony Bankart lesion without a Hill-Sachs lesion: A case report and review of the literature.

Combined injuries of the glenohumeral joint that involve biceps tendon subluxation associated with isolated greater tuberosity fracture and bony Bankart lesion are extremely rare. As per our knowledge, this is the first case report that includes such combined injuries that were treated arthroscopically. We present the case of a 48-year-old male patient who sustained shoulder trauma after being thrown against the rocks by a wave, was found to have biceps tendon subluxation associated with isolated greater tuberosity fracture and bony Bankart lesion.

Modified Double-Row Suture Bridge Technique With Double-Row Biceps Tenodesis for Massive Rotator Cuff Tear.

This article aims to describe a modification of the arthroscopic suture bridge technique for repair of a massive (>3 cm) rotator cuff tear. The method uses 2 medial anchors and 2 lateral anchors for rotator cuff repair, as well as double-row biceps tenodesis. This operative modification may impart better tendon healing and fewer rupture complications than the traditional double-row repair techniques.

A spinoglenoid cyst compressing on the suprascapular nerve causing supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscle weakness: A case report.

Introduction: Spinoglenoid cysts are a rare cause of suprascapular neuropathy of compressive etiology in which the patient may present with shoulder pain and muscle hypotrophy. MRIs are the imaging modality of choice showing location, size, and extent of the lesion for preoperative assessment. Currently, surgical intervention is the preferred approach for the management of a spinoglenoid cyst with arthroscopy being favored over the open technique.

Efficacy of the Combined Administration of Systemic and Intra-Articular Tranexamic Acid in Total Hip Arthroplasty Secondary to Femoral Neck Fracture: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with substantial blood loss in the postoperative course. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a potent antifibrinolytic agent, routinely administered by intravenous (IV) and topical (intra-articular, IA) route, which can possibly interrupt the cascade of events due to hemostatic irregularities close to the source of bleeding. However, scientific evidence of combined administration of TXA in THA secondary to a femoral neck fracture is still meagre.

Clinicopathology and Diagnosis Delay in a 40-Year-Old with Mitochondrial Neurogastrointestinal Encephalomyopathy (MNGIE).

Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is an autosomal recessive and fatal multisystem metabolic disorder. It presents with wide-ranging gastrointestinal and neurologic symptoms. It is caused by a mutation in the TYMP gene which impairs thymidine phosphorylase (TP) activity, therefore leading to the accumulation of thymidine and deoxyuridine in plasma and tissues.

Association of acromial morphological parameters and rotator cuff tears, and evaluation of the influence of age and gender on the parameters and impact on cuff tears: A study on a Middle Eastern population.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the presence of significant differences regarding the lateral acromial angle, critical shoulder angle, and the acromial index between patients with and without rotator cuff tears.

Method: The MRIs (Magnetic Resonnance Imaging) of 82 patients were studied. The rotator cuff tear group (RCT group) included 41 patients while the control group also included 41 patients without rotator cuff tears.

Pan-labral tear of the shoulder joint in a non-athlete patient with six years history of recurrent shoulder subluxations and intraoperative findings of osteoarthritic changes: A case report.

The hypermobility of the glenohumeral joint accounts for its anatomic predisposition for instability and dislocation. The stability of the shoulder joint is dependent on static and dynamic soft tissue structures, among which is the labrum. Circumferential labral tears are a rare pathological entity of shoulder instability that have not been commonly reported in the literature.

Is there an association between glenoid parameters and rotator cuff tears and the influence of gender: A retrospective study on a Middle Eastern population.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the presence of any differences between the normal population and patients with rotator cuff tears in term of glenoid morphological parameters.

Method: For the purpose of this study, 82 shoulder MRIs were evaluated. The individuals included in this study were divided into the patient group (cuff tear group, n = 41) and the control group (control group, n = 41) with respect to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Organic Nanoparticles as Drug Delivery Systems and Their Potential Role in the Treatment of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.

Chronic myeloid leukemia is a myeloproliferative neoplasm that occurs more prominently in the older population, with a peak incidence at ages 45 to 85 years and a median age at diagnosis of 65 years. This disease comprises roughly 15% of all leukemias in adults. It is a clonal stem cell disorder of myeloid cells characterized by the presence of t(9;22) chromosomal translocation, also known as the Philadelphia chromosome, or its byproducts BCR-ABL fusion protein/messenger RNA, leading to the expression of a protein with enhanced tyrosine kinase activity.

Simultaneous ORIF for bilateral comminuted proximal humerus fractures: Case report in an elderly patient.

Introduction: Bilateral proximal humerus fractures are rather rare and occur due to high energetic traumas in young patients and even low energetic traumas in older patients having osteoporosis. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is the most popular treatment for this type of fracture while other types of treatment such as arthroplasty or conservative treatment are also, but less commonly used.

Presentation Of Case: This report presents the case of an 80 years old female patient with bilateral proximal humerus fractures and a history of hypothyroidism.

Analysis of gastric and duodenal biopsy results in patients presenting with dyspepsia: a cross-sectional study in a middle eastern population.

Objective: Correa's cascade is a 'Model for Gastric Cancer Development' described by Peleyo Correa. The reversibility of Correa's cascade remains debatable. The literature contains insufficient data on the specific stage of the cascade during which is detected, treated, and the effect on prognosis.

Atraumatic Left Distal Radial Artery Aneurysm.

Distal radial artery aneurysms are an uncommon pathological entity in the field of surgery. Moreover, distal radial artery aneurysms of idiopathic etiology are even rarer. Herein, we present a rare case of idiopathic/atraumatic left radial artery aneurysm.

Inorganic Nanoparticles as Drug Delivery Systems and Their Potential Role in the Treatment of Chronic Myelogenous Leukaemia.

Chronic myeloid leukemia is a myeloproliferative disease where cells of myeloid linage display a t(9;22) chromosomal translocation leading to the formation of the BCR/ABL fusion gene and the continuous activation of tyrosine kinases. This malignancy has a peak incidence at 45 to 85 years, accounting for 15% of all leukemias in adults. Controlling the activity of tyrosine kinase became the main strategy in chronic myeloid leukemia treatment, with imatinib being placed at the forefront of current treatment protocols.
