Rhinocerebral Mucormycosis with Extensive Cranial Nerve Palsies in a Diabetic Patient.

Mucormycosis is a common opportunistic fungal infection with a disseminated nature. Despite being a devastating disease with the involvement of multiple upper cranial nerves, the implications of the seventh cranial nerve have been infrequently encountered. Although the radiological evidence with sinus destruction supports the diagnosis, histological specimen showing fungal elements confirms it as fungal culture doesn't always demonstrate a high diagnostic yield.

A Case Report on Pseudo-Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia: A Rare Manifestation of Myasthenia Gravis.

A 41-year-old male with recently diagnosed diabetes mellitus type 2 presented with drooping of the left eyelid with double vision and was found to have an adduction deficit in the left eye and nystagmus in the abducting right eye during conjugated gaze: a left-sided internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO). A medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) lesion was excluded exhaustively with brain imaging. The possibility of a pseudo-INO was considered.

A Case Report of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy With Dengue.

A 74-year-old woman with well-controlled hypertension and dyslipidemia with acute fever was diagnosed with dengue infection. She had non-anginal central chest pain which was associated with ST elevation and T inversions in V1 to V6 with prolonged QT interval. Her high-sensitivity troponin was elevated.

Internet of Medical Things: An Effective and Fully Automatic IoT Approach Using Deep Learning and Fine-Tuning to Lung CT Segmentation.

Several pathologies have a direct impact on society, causing public health problems. Pulmonary diseases such as Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are already the third leading cause of death in the world, leaving tuberculosis at ninth with 1.7 million deaths and over 10.

Melioidosis with a subdural collection - a case report.

Background: Melioidosis is an infection caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, which is more prevalent in the tropics and leads to significant morbidity and mortality. It characteristically produces widespread caseous lesions and abscesses, and can present with varied clinical manifestations. Melioidosis involving the central nervous system is uncommon.

Extended spectrum beta lactamase producing organisms causing urinary tract infections in Sri Lanka and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern -A hospital based cross sectional study.

Background: Extended Spectrum Beta- Lactamase producing organisms causing urinary tract infections (ESBL-UTI) are increasing in incidence and pose a major burden to health care. While ESBL producing Klebsiella species seem to account for most nosocomial outbreaks, ESBL-producing E. coli have been isolated from both hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients.

Secondary bacteraemia in adult patients with prolonged dengue fever.

Introduction: Although dengue management guidelines do not advice on use of antibiotics in dengue shock syndrome, unrecognised bactraemia is likely to contribute to morbidity and mortality.

Objectives: To assess the occurance of secondary bacteraemia in adult patients with prolonged dengue fever.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted recruiting patients with confirmed acute dengue infection who had prolonged fever (>5 days).

Pringle manoeuvre versus selective hepatic vascular exclusion: outcome of a case series in a tertiary referral centre.

A retrospective comparative study was done to compare the outcome of intermittent Pringle manoeuvre (IPM) and selective hepatic vascular exclusion (SHVE) in 19 major hepatectomies in non-cirrhotic patients that were done from October 2003 to June 2009. Intra-operative blood loss (IBL), total operative time (TOT) and immediate outcome were assessed in the two groups. Thirteen underwent IPM and the others underwent SHVE.
