A Rare Case of a Non-strangulated Bladder Pantaloon Hernia.

A pantaloon hernia occurs when an indirect and direct hernia develop at the same time. The urinary bladder is a rare component of pantaloon hernias. There is a lack of literature regarding an ipsilateral pantaloon with a herniated urinary bladder.

Urinary Tract Infection Causing Bradycardia, Renal Failure, Atrioventricular Nodal Blockade, Shock, and Hyperkalemia (BRASH) Syndrome: A Case Report and a Brief Review of the Literature.

Bradycardia, renal failure, atrioventricular (AV) nodal blockade, shock, and hyperkalemia (BRASH) syndrome commonly occurs in the elderly population with compromised renal function and a history of taking AV nodal blocking agents on a regular basis. Hypovolemia and worsening of renal function are considered to be the major risk factors. BRASH syndrome should be differentiated from pure intoxication with AV nodal blocking agents, as the therapeutic goals of these conditions are different from each other.

Sudden Vasopressin Withdrawal Causing Transient Central Diabetes Insipidus: A Case Report.

Vasopressin is a peptide hormone produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary. It is secreted in response to hypotension and hyperosmolarity. Vasopressin and its analogs have been widely used in vasodilatory shocks such as septic shock and cardiogenic shock.

Jejunal-Ileal Diverticulosis Induced Witzel Tube Failure: A Rare Cause of Small Bowel Obstruction.

Jejunal diverticulitis is a rare form of diverticulosis that occurs in the jejunum. Ileal diverticula are a type of false diverticula that are mostly asymptomatic and are usually discovered on imaging as incidental findings. Jejunal diverticula are typically difficult to diagnose pre-operatively due to their indolent and asymptomatic nature.

Disseminated Histoplasmosis Presenting as Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation in an HIV Positive Immigrant from Central America.

Histoplasmosis rarely causes significant illness in immunocompetent patients. In endemic areas such as the Midwestern United States and Central America, most people are infected, but are rarely symptomatic, with variable presentation. The illness is usually self-limited in immunocompetent individuals.

A Rare Case of Primary Adenocarcinoma of the Eyelid: Case Presentation and Review of Literature.

Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma (PMA) of the eyelid is a very rare malignancy with an incidence of 0.07 per million. Most cases are elderly males with an indolent course of local growth over months.
