A case of multi-organ failure due to hyperparathyroidism-related hypercalcaemia.

Unlabelled: Albeit still rare, hypercalcaemia has been linked to pulmonary oedema in solid organ malignancy and chronic renal failure. However to date, there is only one case report linking pulmonary oedema to hypercalcaemia secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism.

Case Presentation: A 60-year-old male presented to the emergency department with a history of confusion and collapse.

Ruptured hepatic artery aneurysm precipitated by gangrenous perforated appendicitis: a case report.

Hepatic artery aneurysms are among the most common visceral artery aneurysms although still relatively rare. Repair of aneurysms >2 cm in diameter is important due to the high rate of rupture and associated mortality. Here, we present a case of a sudden rupture of a hepatic artery aneurysm after presentation with a perforated gangrenous appendicitis.

The management of secondary pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction - a comparison of pyeloplasty and endopyelotomy.

Objective: To review our experience in the management of secondary pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) comparing endopyelotomy with pyeloplasty.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analysed our database of 58 patients having undergone operative management of PUJO after failed primary management, including 41 with failed pyeloplasty and 17 failed endopyelotomy. Outcomes included mercapto-acetyltriglycine (MAG3) drainage capacity, symptomatic control and need for further intervention.
