Primary anaplastic T-cell lymphoma of the omentum presenting as small bowel obstruction and complicated with Massilia timonae infection: a case report.

Background: Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma primarily involving the omentum is an extremely rare entity with variable clinical presentation. Owing to its rarity and nonspecific clinical manifestation, omental T-cell lymphoma is often diagnosed at a later stage, riddled with complications. While imaging modalities such as computed tomography scan can help a physician reach a diagnosis, cases that present with complications may require a multidisciplinary approach that combines surgical exploration along with consultation from Oncology.

A Case of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitor-Induced Small Bowel Angioedema.

Angioedema is a rare but known side effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor therapy. The most common presentations of ACE inhibitor-induced angioedema describe swellings in the oropharyngeal and periorbital regions. We describe a rare case of a 58-year-old female with a history of type 2 diabetes and hypertension taking lisinopril for the past three years and presented with recurrent episodes of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting around the same time she started taking the drug.

Primary Splenic Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma: An Atypical Presentation.

Primary splenic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PS-DLBCL) is an extremely rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It typically presents with abdominal pain and a rapidly enlarging mass, often accompanied by B symptoms. Here, we present a rare presentation of PS-DLBCL in a 54-year-old woman who experienced splenomegaly.

Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia as an Independent Risk Factor for Myocardial Infarction in Adult Population: A Four-Year Follow-Up Study.

Introduction A condition in which uric acid levels are elevated but there are no accompanying symptoms is known as asymptomatic hyperuricemia. As a result of the disparity in opinions and findings between the studies, the guidelines regarding whether or not asymptomatic hyperuricemia should be treated are unclear. Material and methods Between the months of January 2017 and June 2022, this research was carried out in the community in collaboration with the internal medicine unit and the public health unit of Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences.

COVID-19 Infection as a Possible Cause of Ogilvie's Syndrome.

Ogilvie's syndrome is defined as acute dilatation of the colon in the absence of mechanical obstruction. Even though the precise mechanism is unknown, studies have suggested its association with autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Some of the common causes include infections, orthopedic surgery, renal failure, electrolyte disturbance, and narcotic use.

Histopathology of Human Donor Spleen Utilized as a Desensitization Tool Before Intestinal Transplantation.

Objectives: To describe the histopathologic and immunophenotypic features of a temporary splenic allograft exposed to massive donor-specific antibody (DSA) insult.

Methods: A human cadaveric donor splenic allograft was temporarily transplanted in a highly sensitized patient with the intention of removing DSA before intestinal transplantation from the same donor. Before splenic transplant, the patient had several preformed cytotoxic DSAs that resulted in positive flow cytometric and complement-dependent cytotoxicity crossmatch.

A Rare Case of Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome in a 13-year-old Girl from a Rural Area.

Juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) is a non-cancerous benign growth predominant in a young population with an estimated incidence of one in 1, 00,000 to 1, 60,000 per year. It is a rare genetic presentation, which can occur sporadically as well. There is a 39% evident risk of developing colorectal carcinoma.

Catatonic Schizophrenia: Cases with Possible Genetic Predisposition.

Catatonic schizophrenia is defined by catatonia seen either with alternating phases of stupor and motor rigidity or the extreme phase of catatonic excitement. This variant of schizophrenia has been identified with poor prognosis, mainly due to the higher association with negative symptoms and young age onset. In this paper, we illustrate a similar clinical picture of catatonic schizophrenia in two brothers, with no genetic predisposition to schizophrenia and no proximal stressors apart from the aggressive/violent behavior of their elder brother.

Guiding hand hygiene interventions among future healthcare workers: implications of knowledge, attitudes, and social influences.

Background: Medical students in their clinical years play an important role in healthcare delivery, yet poor levels of hand hygiene (HH) compliance in this population raise the risk for propagating nosocomial infections. To date, there has been a lack of dedicated interventions showing sustainable improvements in HH in this population.

Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted among 450 medical students in their clinical years (third to fifth years).
