Aspergillus-related immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in pediatric cancer patients, clinical characteristics, imaging findings, and survival.

Aspergillus-related immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is a challenge to diagnose in immunocompromised pediatric cancer patients with Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA). If not recognized, it can mimic disease progression and lead to overtreatment. Studies on Aspergillus-related IRIS in the pediatric population are scarce.

Respiratory failure and rhabdomyolysis caused by severe hypokalemia in a young female with hypertension: a rare critical condition in primary aldosteronism.

Background: The two classic manifestations of primary aldosteronism are hypertension and hypokalemia. However, acute respiratory failure due to hypokalemia in primary hyperaldosteronism is rare.

Case Presentation: The patient was a 27-year-old female who presented with drowsiness and weakness in all extremities.

Evaluation of exoenzyme profiles of species isolated from females with vaginal candidiasis.

Background And Purpose: The three most common causes of vaginitis are bacteria, yeast, and Protozoa. is one of the most common causes of vaginitis and commonly affects millions of females with different signs and symptoms. Secretion of exoenzymes from species plays an important role in virulence and pathogenesis.

A rare occurrence of breast, thyroid, and stomach tumors in a single patient: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: There are only a few case reports to date that have described patients with three or more multiple primary tumors. However, they have been reported more in the last decade, so a precise screening in patients with or without risk factors could be helpful in early diagnosis and treatment. This work has been reported in line with the SCARE criteria.

Hemolacria secondary to major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: Hemolacria can occur on the basis of a psychiatric disorder without an organic cause. However, this should be a diagnosis of exclusion. Treatment of the underlying psychiatric illness may relieve this condition.

Stone removal in a 5-year-old child with extrahepatic biliary obstruction using ERCP: A case report and a mini-review.

Key Clinical Message: ERCP is a safe and effective method for managing biliary obstruction in children. A case report illustrates successful removal of a bile duct stone in a 5-year-old child using ERCP. Pediatric ERCP is a viable option for treating biliary diseases in well-equipped centers, alongside other approaches.

Incidental diagnosis of a rare endobronchial schwannoma in a 7-year-old girl: A case report.

Schwannomas are nerve sheath tumors that arise from Schwann cells and are mainly benign. The likelihood of endobronchial schwannoma amongst all intrapulmonary tumors is up to 0.2% and mainly presents late.

Currarino syndrome as an incidental radiologic finding in a patient with acute flank pain: A case report.

Currarino syndrome is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease defined as a triad of anorectal abnormality, sacral dysgenesis, and a presacral mass, primarily an anterior sacral meningocele. It is often seen in children and considered rare in adults. It is mostly found as an incidental finding.

Comparison of chest CT findings in outpatient and hospitalized COVID-19 RT-PCR positive patients of Shiraz.

Introduction: Chest CT provides valuable information regarding coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the treatment process. The present study aimed to assess the distribution of chest CT findings in outpatient (OPD) and hospitalized corona patients.

Material And Method: This was a retrospective study.

Impacts of diabetes mellitus on clinical and para-clinical parameters among COVID-19 patients.

Purpose: Diabetes has several adverse effects on patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); however, the determinants of this effect are still poorly understood. It is tried in current study to evaluate impacts of type 2 diabetes, with and without other comorbidities, on the clinical, para-clinical, and outcome parameters among COVID-19 patients.

Methods: A case series was applied, which involved 406 COVID-19 patients admitted in the city of Shiraz, south-central Iran, from February 20 to April 29, 2020.

Potential Pathogenicity of Species Isolated from Oral Cavity of Patients with Diabetes Mellitus.

Introduction: In the recent decade, the increased immunocompromised population such as diabetic patients makes a high incidence of invasive infections. Diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine metabolic disorder, and diabetic patients are more susceptible to oral candidiasis infection. Candidiasis is an opportunistic fungal infection caused by many species of .

Effect of Adjuvant Electroconvulsive Therapy Compared to Antipsychotic Medication Alone on the Brain Metabolites of Patients with Chronic Schizophrenia: A Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Study.

Schizophrenia is a common psychiatric disease and is characterized by changes in several brain metabolites detectable by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a general method of management for most severe psychiatric conditions that may play a role in changing the brain metabolites. This study examined the effectiveness of adjuvant ECT with oral medication compared to that of oral second generation antipsychotic medication alone on brain metabolites in patients with chronic schizophrenia.
