A Case of Miliary Tuberculosis Complicated by Thyroid Involvement: Managing Rifampicin-Induced Thrombocytopenia With Rifabutin.

This case report presents an unusual occurrence of miliary tuberculosis with thyroid tuberculosis in a 75-year-old male patient, who successfully completed the treatment with rifabutin after rifampicin-induced thrombocytopenia. The patient has been suffering from diabetes mellitus and chronic heart failure, and had coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) just before being diagnosed with miliary tuberculosis. The patient had not been prescribed immunosuppressants and steroids.

Bilateral Sialadenitis as an Uncommon Initial Manifestation of Infectious Mononucleosis.

Sialadenitis has rarely been reported in patients with infectious mononucleosis (IM). Our patient was a 22-year-old man who presented with bilateral swelling of the parotid and submandibular glands, a fever, malaise, and splenomegaly. Laboratory tests revealed an increased percentage of atypical lymphocytes in the leukocyte fraction.

Uncommon Occurrence of Pulmonary Aspergillosis Caused by Aspergillus sydowii: A Case Report.

This case report presents an unusual occurrence of pulmonary aspergillosis caused by in a 26-year-old male patient. The patient is from Nepal and had no significant medical history and was previously in good health. Chest computed tomography (CT) scans revealed localized bronchiectasis primarily in the left inferior lingular segment and the left lower lobe.

Combined ALT, Estlander, and Upper Lip Flap for Defects Involving the Oral Commissure.

Lip defects (including the corners of the mouth) are a reconstructive challenge in terms of both aesthetic and functional outcomes. When oral cancer resection results in defects that extend beyond the corners of the mouth to the buccal mucosa and buccal skin, it is difficult to perform reconstructive surgery using only a local flap, and a free flap must be used in combination. In this report, we present a case of reconstructive surgery of the corners of the mouth, buccal mucosa, and buccal skin after tumor resection for buccal mucosal squamous cell carcinoma in a 70-year-old man.

Incidence, Characteristics, Clinical Course, and Risk Factors of Ulcerative Colitis-related Lung Diseases.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic GI inflammatory disorder involving various extraintestinal organs, including the lungs. Although UC-related lung diseases (UC-LDs) have been widely recognized, much remains unclear.

Research Question: What are the incidence, characteristics, clinical course, and risk factors of UC-LD?

Study Design And Methods: This study retrospectively identified and classified UC-LDs by reviewing the medical records of consecutive patients with UC.

Skeletal EWSR1-NFATC2 sarcoma previously diagnosed as Ewing-like adamantinoma: A case report and literature review emphasizing its unique radiological features.

Ewing-like adamantinoma (EAD) is a rare bone tumor. It remains unclear whether EAD belongs to adamantinoma, Ewing sarcoma (ES), or an independent category. Herein, we present a case of femoral sarcoma previously diagnosed as EAD in a 26-year-old woman.

[Relationship between magnocellular function and reading skills in children: a study using visual evoked potentials].

Objective: Developmental dyslexia (DD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. The magnocellular deficit theory is one of several hypotheses that have been proposed to explain the pathophysiology of DD. In this study, we investigated magnocellular system dysfunction in Japanese dyslexic children.
