Mixed Germ Cell Tumor (GCT) of Ovary with Atypical Presentation.

Objective: Ovarian carcinomas are considered one of the deadliest malignancies, accounting for a significant number of cancer-related deaths than any other gynecological malignancy. Advanced stage at diagnosis can be attributed to vague presenting symptoms, rarely bizarre, which usually point towards any disease but ovarian tumour. Here, we discuss a similar case, with presentations that compel us to think in favor of disseminated Koch's, but turns out to be germ cell tumor (GCT) of the ovary; thereby pointing at the wide spectrum of bizarre signs and symptoms which should have ovarian malignancies as a differential during workup.

Disseminated peritoneal leiomyoma: a diagnostic dilemma.

Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL) is a rare and benign clinical entity. It is also known as leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD). Here, we report and discuss a case of a primiparous woman in her early 40s who presented with heavy, prolonged, painful menses and heaviness in her lower abdomen.

Active sulfite oxidase domain of Salmonella enterica pathogenic protein small intestine invasive factor E (SiiE): a potential diagnostic target.

Serovars of Salmonella enterica are common food-borne bacterial pathogens. Salmonella typhi, which causes typhoid, is the most dangerous of them. Though detailed molecular pathogenesis studies reveal many virulence factors, inability to identify their biochemical functions hampers the development of diagnostic methods and therapeutic leads.

A Comparative Study of Dexmedetomidine and Midazolam in Reducing Delirium Caused by Ketamine.

Introduction: Ketamine is a well known agent for sedation for short surgical procedures due to its very good analgesic action. But it has cardio stimulatory response and recovery from anaesthesia after Ketamine use is complicated by delirium and hallucination. In studies it is proved that these side effects can be reduced by premedication with benzodiazepines.

The diagnostic dilemma of primary central nervous system melanoma.

Melanomas are malignant neoplasms of melanocytes developing predominantly in the skin, but occasionally arising from eyes, mucous membranes, and the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS can be affected by a spectrum of melanocytic lesions ranging from diffuse neurocutaneous melanosis, to a focal and benign neoplasm (melanocytoma), and to an overtly malignant tumor (melanoma). Primary melanocytic lesions involving the CNS are typically concentrated in the perimedullary and high cervical region.
