A Case of Solitary Fibrous Tumour Arising From the Anterior Skull Base.

Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) are rare tumours of mesenchymal origin, most commonly found in adults with a median age of 45-50 years. Cases in the head and neck are uncommon, and definitive diagnosis relies on histomorphological features supported by immunohistochemical staining. Here we present a case of a 26-year-old gentleman with a one-year history of right-sided nasal obstruction and bloody discharge on a longstanding background of recreational cocaine use.

Oropharyngeal Bleeding Due to Cannabidiol Oil Vape Use.

Vaping has become an increasingly popular alternative to smoking in recent years. We present a rare and unusual case of upper airway bleeding caused by inhalation of a cannabidiol (CBD) oil-based vape due to a chemical burn. There are no case reports of this injury in the literature, and we discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis and our management of this potentially life-threatening injury.

Low-cost simulation models in Urology: a systematic review of the literature.

Introduction: Simulation models have been found to be effective and valid for training in Urology. Due to increasing costs of surgical training, there is a need for low-cost simulation models to enable Urology trainees to improve their skills.

Material And Methods: A literature review was performed using the PubMed and Embase databases until March 2020.

Failure to Return to Preinjury Activity Level after Hamstring Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Factors Involved and Considerations in Goal Setting.

However, many factors contribute to this endpoint. This study aimed to investigate the ability of nonprofessional athletes to return alongside the reasons for failure.

Central Chest Pain - An Atypical First Presentation.

Introduction: The diagnosis of thoracic spondylodiscitis is challenging, given that it is a rare entity in itself and when unusual symptoms such as central chest pain predominate on presentation, it may pose a serious diagnostic challenge.

Case Report: A 54-year-old patient presented to accident and emergency with central chest pain and elevated inflammatory markers (C- reactive protein [CRP]: 21 mg/L). Following exclusion of life-threatening cardiac causes, he was discharged home with analgesia and no formal diagnosis.
