Salvaging Vision: A Study of Non-Traumatic Optic Neuropathies.

Background And Objectives: Various ear, nose, and throat (ENT) conditions can result in vision loss. The purpose of this study is to identify the etiologies, presentations, and radiological findings associated with impaired vision in the context of ENT. Additionally, this article discusses management protocols, including optic nerve decompression and orbital decompression.

An analysis of retracted studies in cardiology in the last two decades.

The aim of this study is to analyze retracted studies in cardiovascular field. PubMed and Embase databases were used to identify retracted publications from 2002 to 2022. Various characteristics of articles were retrieved, and an analysis was performed using R software.

Lumps and Bumps on the Abdominal Wall: Role of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology.

Objective: Abdominal wall masses often pose diagnostic challenges for clinicians due to their nonspecific symptoms. They include a wide spectrum of lesions ranging from inflammatory to tumor-like masses and malignancies. The majority of the malignant nodules are metastatic in origin and may be the initial presentation of a primary malignancy; hence, an early diagnosis is important.

Epidermolysis bullosa in a mother-infant dyad.

Epidermolysis Bullosa is an inherited mechanobullous disorder which presents in the neonatal period as blistering skin lesions. In this case report, we describe an uncommon presentation of Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex in a term infant, weighing 2640 g, born to a mother who was also diagnosed with Epidermolysis Bullosa Pruriginosa during the course of the evaluation of her newborn. The clinical situation presented us with a unique dilemma with regard to routine newborn care practices including handling, skin and diaper care.

Cytodiagnosis of subacute granulomatous thyroiditis (De Quervain's thyroiditis)-A report of four cases.

Subacute granulomatous thyroiditis (SGT)/De Quervain's thyroiditis is a rare self-limiting inflammatory disease, accounting for 3% of all thyroid disorders. Most commonly seen in middle aged women, it shows a characteristic triad of pain in the anterior cervical region, increased ESR and recent history of viral upper respiratory tract infection. The cytomorphological features are not pathognomonic and can also be seen in Hashimoto's thyroiditis, granulomatous infections, sarcoidosis, and papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Crocodile tears syndrome after vestibular schwannoma surgery: A case report.

Introduction: Crocodile tears syndrome is paroxysmal lacrimal hypersecretion while eating or drinking. It is relatively rare and mainly observed after peripheral facial nerve injury due to any cause.

Presentation Of Case: We describe a case of crocodile tears syndrome after vestibular schwannoma surgery in a patient with pre-operative trigeminal nerve involvement.

Angiogenesis Imaging of Adrenocortical Carcinoma with Ga-68-NODAGA-RGD Positron Emission Tomography: Opening New Horizons in Multimodality Imaging from Theranostic Perspective.

A 53-year-old female, with a known case of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), underwent F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for initial staging, which revealed FDG avid large left suprarenal mass contiguous with hypermetabolic tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava (IVC) through the left renal vein. Thereafter, she underwent angiogenesis imaging using Ga-68-NODAGA-RGD PET/CT, which showed similar avid tracer uptake in both primary and IVC thrombus. Demonstration of RGD avidity in ACC in this case opens a new horizon for targeted radionuclide therapy (e.

Hepatocellular carcinoma presenting as a chest wall mass - An unusual case diagnosed on cytology with review of literature.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with an aggressive behavior and a strong tendency for extrahepatic metastasis. Although 5%-15% patients have metastases at diagnosis, presentation with symptoms exclusively related to extrahepatic metastases is rare. An 82-year-old male presented with an isolated left anterolateral chest wall swelling.
