Malposition of Central Venous Catheter Inserted under Ultrasound Guidance in Intensive Care Unit: A Case Series.

Malposition of central venous catheter tip inserted into the subclavian and internal jugular vein is a rare unavoidable complication that can be decreased if inserted under ultrasound guidance. We report case series of three patients, two of subclavian and another of internal jugular inserted central venous catheter, in which the catheter malpositioned into ipsilateral internal jugular and subclavian vein respectively but had no effect on patient management. From this, we want to emphasize that the effect of malposition of central venous catheter tip depends upon the indication for which central venous catheter was inserted; it can be detected bedside by ultrasound and flush test.

Eosinophilic Cholecystitis presenting with Common Bile Duct Sludge and Cholangitis: A Case Report.

Eosinophilic cholecystitis is a rare post-cholecystectomy inflammatory histopathological condition characterized by more than 90% eosinophilic infiltrate in the gallbladder. We present a case of 27-year female presented with abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, altered mental status, shock, leucocytosis, deranged liver function test, and peripheral blood eosinophilia. The patient underwent cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration.

Bioremediation of arsenic from water with citric acid cross-linked water hyacinth (E. crassipes) root powder.

A green and novel approach was demonstrated for successful remediation of arsenic from contaminated water by citric acid (CA) cross-linked water hyacinth root powder (RP). Different analytical techniques were used to investigate the binding and structural properties of prepared materials. Titanium dioxide played a significant role in the cross-linking process.
