A Rare Case of Colon Cancer in a Young Patient With HIV Infection: Is it Time for New Colon Cancer Screening Guidelines for HIV Patients?

Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have a higher prevalence of colonic neoplasms than the general population. In these patients, tumors develop at an earlier age, are diagnosed at more advanced stages, and have a dismal prognosis. Current guidelines recommend initiating colon cancer screening in HIV patients at the age of 45 which is consistent with screening age in the general population.

A Rare Case of Malignant Syndrome in Parkinson's Disease Caused by Severe Dehydration and Complicated by Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH).

Malignant syndrome (MS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) is a rare complication that occurs in patients who have a history of PD and are taking dopaminergic drugs. The syndrome is quite similar to neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) in presentation and is a potentially fatal syndrome. Awareness of symptoms, early diagnosis, and the ability to differentiate it from NMS is important to prevent mortality.

A Meta-analysis of the Severity of Acute Pancreatitis (AP) in COVID-19 Infection.

Many studies have reported severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) affecting the gastrointestinal tract and causing gastritis, colitis, duodenitis and acute pancreatitis (AP). We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate if SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19 infection) affects the outcomes and severity of AP. We searched for articles in PubMed (MEDLINE), Cochrane Library, and clinicaltrials.

Theoretical analysis of unsteady squeezing nanofluid flow with physical properties.

Theoretical analysis of physical characteristics of unsteady, squeezing nanofluid flow is studied. The flow of nanofluid between two plates that placed parallel in a rotating system by keeping the variable physical properties: viscosity and thermal conductivity. It is analyzed by using Navier Stokes Equation, Energy Equation and Concentration equation.

Severe Pulmonary Artery Hypertension in Otherwise Silent Lupus: A Unique Hybrid Treatment Approach Using Hydroxychloroquine and Sildenafil.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Even more rare is pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) presenting as the initial manifestation of SLE and may be a cause of diagnostic delay. As symptoms of PAH are very mild in the early stages, prompt diagnosis is crucial to prevent the progression of the disease.

All-Cause Mortality Outcomes of Usage of Cardiac Contractility Modulation in Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy Ineligible for Cardiac Re-Synchronization Therapy: An Updated Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Introduction Dilated cardiomyopathy has been associated with remarkably high mortality despite guideline-directed therapy. This study compares the all-cause mortality rate between a cardiac contractility modulation group and a standard therapy group in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy who were monitored via follow-up for 12 weeks or more. Materials and methods We conducted a systematic search of Medline (PubMed) and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for abstracts and fully published studies (from inception to October 2018).

Pulmonary Embolism in Acquired Hemophilia A: A Rare Complication With Factor VIII Inhibitor Bypassing Activity Therapy.

Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is an uncommon complication caused by autoantibodies against Factor VIII. The main concern with these patients is hemorrhage, which is often treated with Factor VIII inhibitor bypassing activity (FEIBA). On rare occasions, treatment with FEIBA can result in thromboembolism, a potentially fatal complication.

On the study of flow between unsteady squeezing rotating discs with cross diffusion effects under the influence of variable magnetic field.

The aim of this article is to provide an analytical and numerical investigation to the viscous fluid flow, heat and mass transfer under the influence of a variable magnetic field. The governing system of partial differential equations are transformed by means of similarity transformations to a system of ordinary differential equations which are solved by Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) and BVP4. The effects of involved physical parameters are illustrated for the velocity components, magnetic field components, heat and mass transfers.

Case Report of Spontaneous Remission of Biopsy-Proven Idiopathic Immune Complex-Mediated Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis.

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is a histopathologic diagnosis causing microscopic hematuria, nephrotic range proteinuria, and chronic renal failure. Current understanding divides pathogenesis into two broad categories: immune complex mediated and complement mediated (now termed C3 glomerulopathy). The term idiopathic immune complex-mediated MPGN would apply to a patient without an identifiable source of immune complex production and no evidence of C3 glomerulopathy.

Steady flow and heat transfer analysis of Phan-Thein-Tanner fluid in double-layer optical fiber coating analysis with Slip Conditions.

Modern optical fibers require double-layer coating on the glass fiber to provide protection from signal attenuation and mechanical damage. The most important plastic resins used in wires and optical fibers are plastic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and low-high density polyethylene (LDPE/HDPE), nylon and Polysulfone. In this paper, double-layer optical fiber coating is performed using melt polymer satisfying PTT fluid model in a pressure type die using wet-on-wet coating process.

Localized nonlinear waves on quantized superfluid vortex filaments in the presence of mutual friction and a driving normal fluid flow.

We demonstrate the existence of localized structures along quantized vortex filaments in superfluid helium under the quantum form of the local induction approximation (LIA), which includes mutual friction and normal fluid effects. For small magnitude normal fluid velocities, the dynamics are dissipative under mutual friction. On the other hand, when normal fluid velocities are sufficiently large, we observe parametric amplification of the localized disturbances along quantized vortex filaments, akin to the Donnelly-Glaberson instability for regular Kelvin waves.

Unsteady MHD Thin Film Flow of an Oldroyd-B Fluid over an Oscillating Inclined Belt.

This paper studies the unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) thin film flow of an incompressible Oldroyd-B fluid over an oscillating inclined belt making a certain angle with the horizontal. The problem is modeled in terms of non-linear partial differential equations with some physical initial and boundary conditions. This problem is solved for the exact analytic solutions using two efficient techniques namely the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM) and Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM).

Heat transfer analysis of MHD thin film flow of an unsteady second grade fluid past a vertical oscillating belt.

This article aims to study the thin film layer flowing on a vertical oscillating belt. The flow is considered to satisfy the constitutive equation of unsteady second grade fluid. The governing equation for velocity and temperature fields with subjected initial and boundary conditions are solved by two analytical techniques namely Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) and Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM).

Thin film flow in MHD third grade fluid on a vertical belt with temperature dependent viscosity.

In this work, we have carried out the influence of temperature dependent viscosity on thin film flow of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) third grade fluid past a vertical belt. The governing coupled non-linear differential equations with appropriate boundary conditions are solved analytically by using Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM). In order to make comparison, the governing problem has also been solved by using Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM).

Heart failure as a risk factor for osteoporosis and fractures.

Although heart failure (HF) and osteoporosis are common diseases, particularly in elderly populations, patients with HF have an increased risk for osteoporosis. The relationship of HF with osteoporosis is modified by gender and the severity of HF. In addition, shared risk factors, medication use, and common pathogenic mechanisms affect both HF and osteoporosis.
