Predictive Validity of Multifactorial Injury Risk Models and Associated Clinical Measures in the U.S. Population.

Popular movement-based injury risk screens were shown to lack predictive precision, leading to interest in multifactorial models. Furthermore, there is a lack of research regarding injury risk assessment for those currently or planning to be recreationally active. This study aims to provide injury risk insights by analyzing multifactorial injury risk models and associated clinical measures in the U.

Neglected case of recurrent abdominal pain due to a chronically retained and broken double J (DJ) stent following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL): A case report.

Double J (DJ stent) is commonly used in urology practices. Short- and long-term complications of indwelling catheters are increasingly noted resulting in significant morbidity and at times mortality. Retained and broken DJ stent is however rare complication with few cases reported in the literature.

Leishmania donovani persistence and circulation causing cutaneous leishmaniasis in unusual-foci of Nepal.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis cases have increased dramatically in recent years in Nepal. The study offers molecular identification of the Leishmania species using 40 patient's aspiration biopsy samples, targeting markers kinetoplast minicircle DNA (kDNA) and internal transcribed spacer-1 (ITS1). Among molecularly diagnosed 22 cutaneous leishmaniasis cases, L.

Spontaneous extradural hematoma in a Sickle cell Beta Thalassemia patient-A rare complication.

Spontaneous extradural hematoma in Sickle cell disease is rare neurological complication with few cases reported in the English literature. We report a case of a 16-year-old male patient who was previously diagnosed with Sickle Cell Beta Thalassemia and presented with severe headache and vomiting for 3 days. An emergency CT scan of the head demonstrated right-sided acute parietal extradural hematoma with mass effect.

A systematic review of psychosocial interventions for older adults living with HIV.

The rapidly growing segment of older adults living with HIV faces unique set of psychosocial challenges that may differ from their younger counterparts. The objective of this review is to systematically examine current published literature on interventions designed to improve the psychosocial wellbeing of older adults living with HIV. A pre-specified search strategy was applied to four databases: PubMed, CINAHL Plus with Text, PsycINFO, and Health Source.

Gallbladder schistosomiasis - a rare presentation as gallbladder polyp: a case report.

Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease second to malaria in prevalence with significant morbidity and mortality. Although, Schistosomiasis can affect multiple organs, gallbladder involvement is very rarely reported. We present a case of isolated gallbladder schistosomiasis in a 20-year-old female presenting as gallbladder polyp radiologically and also correlated the histopathological findings which to our knowledge has never been reported in the English literature.

Genital filariasis presenting as a vaginal wall cystic lesion.

Vaginal cystic lesions are rare incidental findings detected during physical examination and imaging. To our knowledge, filariasis as a cause of vaginal cystic lesions has not been previously reported in the English literature. We present vaginal cystic lesion which posed diagnostic dilemma and was confirmed on cytology to being filarial in etiology.

A case report of visceral leishmaniasis and malaria co-infection with pancytopenia and splenomegaly - a diagnostic challenge.

Background: Leishmaniasis and malaria are tropical diseases with more than half of the world population at risk of infection resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Co-infection of Leishmaniasis and malaria pose a great challenge in the diagnosis as well as overall management.

Case Presentation: In this case report, we present a rare case of a 5 years old child hailing from non-endemic region of Nepal with history of fever for a period of 3 months who was diagnosed as co-infection of malaria due to Plasmodium vivax and visceral Leishmaniasis with pancytopenia that subsequently improved after a course of treatment.

Spectrum of Typical and Atypical Clinico-Histopathological and Radiological Presentation of Soft Tissue and Muscular Cysticercosis in Mid-Western and Far-Western Region of Nepal.

Introduction: Soft tissue and muscular involvement in cysticercosis is a relatively rarer presentation.

Materials And Methods: Twenty seven histopathologically confirmed cases of soft tissue and muscular cysticercosis were collected and the clinical, radiological data was reviewed.

Results: There was female predominance for the lesions (19 cases among 27 cases).
