Superior Ophthalmic Vein Thrombosis in Trinidad and Tobago: A Case Series.

Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis (SOVT) is a rare and potentially sight and life-threatening condition. Although broadly classified into septic and aseptic causes, its etiology is widely varied and presents clinically with a range of signs and symptoms, leading to diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This case series describes three cases of radiologically confirmed SOVT, presenting in close succession at an ophthalmology department in a single center in Trinidad and Tobago.

Perioperative challenges following management of spontaneous hepatic rupture in a parturient with severe pre-eclampsia - A case report.

Spontaneous hepatic rupture in pregnancy (SHRP) is a rare but often fatal condition associated with pre-eclampsia or HELLP (haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets) syndrome. SHRP is linked to significant maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, and maternal complications can extend past the initial intraoperative period. This case report describes the challenging perioperative course of a 35-year-old woman with SHRP.

Interstitial ectopic pregnancy rupture at 17 weeks of gestation: A case report and literature review.

Interstitial pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy that commonly results in uterine rupture and life-threatening haemorrhage. Interstitial ectopic pregnancies are associated with a 2-5% mortality rate and a high risk of uterine rupture before 12 weeks of gestation when compared to tubal pregnancy. Due to the thickness and distensibility of the interstitial segment of the Fallopian tube, ectopic pregnancy in this location attains a considerable size before complications arise.

A Rare Case of Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Uterine Cervix.

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the uterine cervix is an exceedingly rare mesenchymal tumor that accounts for less than 1% of all cervical cancers. This highly malignant tumor primarily affects adolescents and young adults. Due to the paucity of publications on this clinical entity, there are no clearly established treatment protocols.

Evaluation and Use of Registry Data in a GIS Analysis of Diabetes.

Objectives: to evaluate registry data routinely collected by the Chronic Disease Electronic Management System (CDEMS) in the monitoring of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the Eastern half of the island and use the data to describe the spatial epidemiological patterns of T2DM.

Design And Method: The starting point was access and retrival of all exsisting data on the diabetes registry. This data was subsequently validated using handwritten medical records.
