A Young Female With Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MCADD): A Case Report.

Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency (MCADD) is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. MCAD is essential for fatty acid β-oxidation during hepatic ketogenesis, which provides a major source of energy once hepatic glycogen stores are exhausted during extended fasting and periods of increased energy demand. The inability to metabolize these fatty acids results in hypoketotic hypoglycemia and the accumulation of toxic partially metabolized fatty acids.

Necrotising fasciitis: a fatal case of sepsis and a diagnostic challenge - case report and review of literature.

This rare condition has a high mortality rate and poses diagnostic and management challenges to the clinician. There is usually a history of trauma, which maybe trivial.

Bilateral sciatic nerve palsy following a bariatic operation.

Iatrogenic nerve injuries have been rarely reported following laparoscopic abdominal surgeries. These can be serious complications with the potential for long-term disability. We present a rare case of bilateral sciatic nerve palsy following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on a super-super-obese male with BMI 78.
