Intracholecystic Papillary Neoplasm: A Rare Case Report.

Intracholecystic papillary neoplasm (ICPN) is a mass-forming, noninvasive epithelial premalignant neoplasm arising from the gallbladder mucosal lining and projecting into the lumen of the gallbladder. It is potentially fatal and if left untreated can progress to invasive gallbladder carcinoma. Incidentally ICPN is found on imaging or during postoperative histological evaluation and is likely to be missed preoperatively.

Persistent symptoms and functional health status among Covid-19 patients after discharge from a Covid hospital.

Background: After recovery from acute Covid infection, many patients are found to be experiencing persistent symptoms.

Objectives: To find out the proportion of patients with persistent symptoms after discharge from a Covid hospital and to assess post-Covid-19 functional status.

Materials And Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among patients discharged from a Covid hospital.

An Aberrant Case of Large Submandibular Gland Sialolith With Obstructive Sialadenitis in a Young Female.

Sialolithiasis is a major cause of salivary gland dysfunction. Submandibular sialolithiasis with obstructive sialadenitis is a relatively uncommon condition. Submandibular gland sialolithiasis with obstructive sialadenitis accounts for about 2% of all cases of sialadenitis.

Surgical Outcome of Complex Knee Deformity Correction in a Girl With Ellis-van Creveld Syndrome: A Report of a Rare Case.

Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome is a rare inherited condition with inheritance, which is autosomal recessive in nature and is also described as skeletal dysplasia (chondroectodermal). The patients present with a grave genu valgum deformity which is a major challenge in orthopedics. The current case report presents a young girl of the juvenile age group who came with deformity over the bilateral lower limb with difficulty in walking and bilateral upper limb polydactyly.

Gamification for Distal Radius Fracture Rehabilitation: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study.

Introduction Gamification is a novel interventional approach to functional recovery and rehabilitation. A significant impact has been observed with the application of gamification on non-traumatic conditions and chronic neurological and musculoskeletal illnesses; however, the implication of gamification on the functional recovery of patients with distal radius fractures (DRF) is yet to be explored.  Methodology This pilot study included 20 post-DRF patients aged 18-65 years with unilateral DRF, managed with closed reduction and K-wire internal fixation.

Gamification in Therapeutic Rehabilitation of Distal Radial and Ulnar Fracture: A Case Report.

Gamification is a novel interventional approach to functional recovery and rehabilitation. We present a novel gamification rehabilitation case of a 38-year-old female referred to the physiotherapy department for post-distal radial fracture rehabilitation. She was managed with closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) using two Kirschner wires (K-wires) after falling on an outstretched hand in a road traffic accident with a two-wheeler.

Non-Immersive Virtual Reality as an Intervention for Improving Hand Function and Functional Independence in Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy: A Feasibility Study.

Introduction Non-immersive virtual reality (NIVR) is emerging as an advantageous intervention in the arena of neurorehabilitation. Promising results have been obtained by the application of NIVR in adults with various chronic neurological conditions such as stroke and Parkinson's disease, but studies on the use of NIVR in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) are limited. Materials and methods This preliminary study included 10 school-aged participants with unilateral CP who were allocated into experimental and control groups.

The Development of Illness Anxiety Disorder in a Patient After Partial Thyroidectomy.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), characterises illness anxiety disorder (IAD) as the preoccupation with having or acquiring a serious illness in the absence of somatic symptoms (or, if present, symptoms that are only mild in severity). DSM-5 includes illness anxiety disorder in the category called somatic symptom and related disorders, characterised by prominent somatic concerns, distress, and impaired functioning. More often than in psychiatric settings, individuals with illness anxiety disorder are encountered in primary care and specialist medical settings.

A rare case of Kearns-Sayre syndrome in a 17-year-old Venezuelan male with bilateral ptosis as the initial presentation.

Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) was first described in 1958 as 'a rare neuromuscular disorder defined by a characteristic triad of progressive external ophthalmoplegia, pigmentary retinopathy, atrioventricular block and cerebellar ataxia'. The prevalence rate of KSS is ∼1-3 per 100 000 individuals. Here, we report a rare case of a 17-year-old Venezuelan male with KSS.

A 45-Year-Old Undiagnosed Cirrhotic Patient with Hepatopulmonary Syndrome as First Presentation: A Case Report.

Background: Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a pulmonary complication characterized by a triad of chronic liver disease, arterial hypoxemia, and pulmonary vascular dilations. Agitated saline contrast echocardiography is a simple inexpensive criterion standard procedure for confirming the diagnosis of HPS.

Case Report: Here, we discuss a case of a 45-year-old male Indian patient with no medical history who presented to our hospital with exertional dyspnea, hypoxia, and classical signs of HPS.

IMAGES: Ectopic thymic cyst: a rare case report.

Ectopic thymic tissue in the neck is rarely reported in medical literature. Being uncommon, they are rarely included in the clinical diagnosis of cervical cystic masses and are misdiagnosed by surgeons as branchial cysts, lymphatic malformations, epidermoid cysts, dermoid cysts or thyroglossal cysts, lymphadenitis or neoplastic masses. Although it is rare, cervical thymic cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a lateral cystic neck mass.

Cutaneous mercury granuloma.

Cutaneous mercury granuloma is rarely encountered. Clinically it may pose difficulty in diagnosis. Here, we report a 23-year-old male presented with erythematous, nodular lesions over the forearm and anterior aspect of chest wall.
