Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to examine early degenerative spinal disc changes in elite female CrossFit athletes using advanced 3.0 Tesla MRI technology, comparing them to non-athlete controls.
- The research involved 19 participants, including 9 elite athletes and 10 non-athletes, measuring the prevalence and grading of any spinal disc degeneration.
- The findings revealed that there was no significant increase in degenerative disc disease among the athletes, suggesting that high-volume CrossFit training does not correlate with a higher risk of spinal disc changes.
History And Admission Findings: A 25-year-old asylum seeker from Georgia was admitted to hospital with acute right upper quadrant abdominal pain, vertigo, dyspnea, generalized urticaria and positive shock index (blood pressure 80/40 mmHg, pulse 120/min) several minutes after eating an instant soup.
Investigations: Laboratory investigations showed a slight increase of the eosinophilic cell count and GOT and GPT activities. Abdominal ultrasound scan (USS) and computed tomography (CT) revealed a multivesicular septated cystic space-occupying lesion of the right liver lobe (segment VII, 13 x 9 x 8 cm) and perihepatic fluid.
A case of an unusual localization of cystic echinococcosis is presented. Initially it appeared as a retropertioneal tumor with bone involvement and the diagnosis was only recognized intraoperatively. The patient was treated by radical surgery and chemotherapy according to the guidelines of the WHO.
