Radial access has lower risk of vascular complication for cardiac catheterization and is rapidly replacing femoral access. There are few unique complications associated with this approach. We present 3 cases of sterile granulomatous reaction associated with a specific hydrophilic radial sheath and possibly contribution by radial wrist band [TR band; Terumo Medical used for hemostasis after sheath removal (2101 cotton tail lane somerset NJ, USA)]. Awareness of this association will help clinicians use appropriate preventive measures.

Etiological and histomorphological studies on early chick mortality in broiler chicken in Kashmir, India.

Open Vet J

November 2024

Veterinary Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry, SKUAST-K, Srinagar, India.

Background: Early chick mortality (ECM) is one of the most important problems of the poultry industry that causes severe economic losses to the farmers. The chick mortality varies in different geographical locations and its etiological factor also varies.

Aim: The aim of the present work was to isolate and identify various etiological agents responsible for causing ECM in broilers, and study the overall occurrence and pathology of various disease conditions responsible for causing ECM in broilers.

Sarcoidosis is an immune-mediated multisystem condition of unknown etiology, characterized by non-caseating granulomatous inflammation. While it commonly affects the lungs and the reticuloendothelial system, it can affect any organ. Most of such cases involve the central nervous system, but the condition rarely presents with symptoms related to hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction.

Paratuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous enteritis, caused by subspecies (), that affects ruminants worldwide. Vaccination has been considered the most cost-effective method for the control of this disease in infected dairy herds. However, currently available vaccines do not provide complete protection and interfere with the diagnosis of both paratuberculosis and bovine tuberculosis, limiting its use.

Article Synopsis
  • Cervical tuberculosis is rare, constituting only 0.1-0.65% of all tuberculosis cases, and presents primarily with symptoms like infertility, abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, and amenorrhea, without any specific visible changes to the cervix.
  • A 45-year-old woman was misdiagnosed with cervical cancer, but further examination revealed she actually had tuberculosis of the cervix, highlighting the importance of proper diagnosis.
  • Tuberculosis can cause chronic pelvic inflammation and infertility, and clinicians should consider it as a potential diagnosis in cases of unexplained lower genital tract symptoms, since it can mimic more common conditions like cervical cancer.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic Q fever, caused by Coxiella burnetii, is challenging to diagnose due to difficult bacterial growth and often negative blood cultures.
  • A case of a 69-year-old man with general health decline and low back pain revealed L3-L4 abscessed spondylodiscitis, but blood tests remained sterile and echocardiograms normal, leading to a chronic Q fever diagnosis through serology.
  • The management of chronic Q fever requires a multidisciplinary approach, with serology being critical for diagnosis despite available imaging and molecular tests.
