Bleb Reformation After Lateral Cantholysis in a Case of Prostaglandin-associated Periorbitopathy.

An 84-year-old male with uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP), despite maximum topical medications including prostaglandin F2α analog, had bilateral prostaglandin-associated periorbitopathy-related tight upper eyelids. One day after trabeculectomy of the left eyelid, IOP was 24 mm Hg, with a flat bleb. Daily ocular massage failed to maintain bleb filtration.

A pressure-resistant peripherally inserted central catheter is as useful as a central venous catheter for rapid fluid infusion: an in vitro study.

Background: Although peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) have been widely used, they have not been frequently used in anesthesia practice. The central venous pressure measured via PICCs are reportedly as accurate as that measured via central venous catheters (CVCs), but the findings concerning rapid infusion are unclear. This study examined whether or not pressure-resistant PICCs could be used for rapid fluid infusion.

[COMPLETE RESPONSE OF BULKY LYMPH NODE METASTASES TREATED WITH ENZALUTAMIDE AFTER CHEMOTHERAPY WITH DOCETAXEL IN CASTRATION-RESISTANT PROSTATE CANCER: A CASE REPORT].

A 74-year-old man was initially diagnosed as having cT4N0M0 and Gleason score 5+4 prostate adenocarcinoma in 2012. Systemic therapy was initiated with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) agonist and bicalutamide, and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels fell to a nadir of 0.02 ng/ml from 25.

Clinical Investigation of Adrenal Incidentalomas in Japanese Patients of the Fukuoka Region with Updated Diagnostic Criteria for Sub-clinical Cushing's Syndrome.

Objectives We retrospectively investigated the clinical and endocrinological characteristics of adrenal incidentalomas. Methods We studied 61 patients who had been diagnosed with adrenal incidentalomas and had undergone detailed clinical and endocrinological evaluations while hospitalized. We used common criteria to diagnose the functional tumors, but for sub-clinical Cushing's syndrome, we used an updated set of diagnosis criteria: serum cortisol ≥1.
