An Unusual Case of Acute Complete Urinary Incontinence 20 Days after Pelvic Floor Surgery and Tension-Free Vaginal Tape Insertion 20 Days after Pelvic Floor Surgery and Tension-Free Vaginal Tape Insertion

Nicole Keller, Seraina Schmid and Beatrix Haemmerle

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: August 05, 2019

An 81-year-old woman presented herself with disturbing stress urinary incontinence and symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse. 30 years before she had had an abdominal hysterectomy and presumably a colposuspension. To repair the symptomatic pelvic floor disorder the patient needed an anterior and posterior colporrhaphy, vaginal repair of enterocele and anterior rectocele. Additionally, a tension-free midurethral sling (retropubic tension-free vaginal tape) was implanted because of stress urinary incontinence. Seven days postoperatively she resumed the prophylactic intake of acetylsalicylic acid. Th...

The Impact of Transcatheter Aortıc Valve Implantatıon on Neutrophıl to Lymphocyte Ratıo: A Retrospective Study

Abdulmecit Afsin, MD, Veysi Kavalcı, MD, Zeynep Ulutas, MD, Hakan Kaya, MD, Erdal Akturk, Arif Suner and Necip Ermis

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: August 03, 2019

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become a novel therapeutic option for patients with severe aortic stenosis who have been considered inoperable or high risk for conventional surgical aortic valve replacement. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of TAVI on neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR). A total of 97 patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing TAVI in our clinic were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups based on valve type; patients with CoreValve bioprosthesis (n = 56) and patients with Edwards SAPIEN-XT bioprosthesi...

Chronotherapy for the Treatment of Hypertension among Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Systematic Review

Magdalena Deaton, MPH, MSN, RN, AGNP-C, Jeanne Ruff, MPH, BSN, RN and Lisa Boss, PhD, RN, CNS, CEN, CNE

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: July 26, 2019

Hypertension (HTN) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are associated with increased risk for adverse cardiovascular events. Comorbid HTN with OSA is often resistant to pharmacologic treatment. Chronotherapy, the timing of treatment based on circadian rhythms, may prove to be a valuable, cost-effective tool for improving blood pressure (BP) control among those with OSA. This Systematic Review appraises the existing literature regarding morning (a.m.) vs. evening (p.m.) administration of antihypertensives among this population. ...

Five Fruit and Vegetable a Day Does Not Reflect the Upward Trend of Obesity in the U.S.

Yilin Yoshida, Chester L Schmaltz, Jeannette Jackson-Thompson, Adam Bouras, Esmaeel Rahmani and Eduardo J Simoes

Article Type: Original Research | First Published: July 27, 2019

After almost three decades of U.S. surveillance in fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake and obesity, it is important to evaluate their usefulness for monitoring prevention and health promotion efforts in public health. We used U.S. surveillance data to evaluate whether the 16-year trends of F&V intake, measured by the prevalence of eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day (FV5/day) is related to obesity trend as measured by its prevalence in the same period. We also evaluated whether trends in the prevalence of FV5/day by important sociodemographic factors (age, race/ethnicity, ...

A Minus That Makes the Difference

Vitale G, Vitale S, Pierini P and Visconti CL

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: June 28, 2019

Acute Coronary Syndromes include a wide variety of clinical scenarios. Coronary Angiography (CA) is a low-resolution imaging technique and its inability to provide a satisfactory tissue characterization of culprit lesions could be a concern in some cases. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an emergent intravascular high-resolution imaging modality which could be complementary to CA in challenging cases. We report a case of a young man in whom OCT had been determinant to understand the pathology of culprit lesion and to formulate a tailored therapy. ...

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: July 31, 2019

Epiphrenic diverticulum is a relatively rare clinical case. It is defined as an outpouching of the mucosal and submucosal layers through the muscular layer of esophagus in association with motility disorders. Most patients are asymptomatic and the other manifest with variable symptoms including dysphagia, regurgitation, halitosis, vomiting, heartburn and weight loss. Herein we report a case of a 50-year-old female who presented to our hospital with complaint of dysphagia and weight loss. The clinical and radiological findings suggested left epiphrenic diverticulum about 3 cm in diameter. ...

Joseph Yorke, Roland Williams Awoonor, George Ansong, Bernard Hammond, Edward Amoah Boateng, Frank Gyamfi, Francis Somiah-Kwaw Aitpillah, Kwabena Acheamfour Ababio, Dorcas Ahulu, Dennis Afful Yorke and Emmanuel Acheampong

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: July 29, 2019

Retained surgical sponges (gossypiboma) are very rare but occur even under the presumed correct sponge counts postoperatively. Gossypiboma has the ability to cause significant harm to the patient and carry heartfelt medicolegal and professional repercussions to clinicians and hospitals. Its mani-festations may be non-specific and may take weeks, months or even years from the time of surgery. Therefore, diagnosis is based on a high index of suspicion with careful assessment of the patient's history, physical examination, and investigation. Retained sponges may extrude externally through a fistu...

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: July 29, 2019

Aging is an intrinsic process of the human being linked to functional deteriorations in several systems, affecting the quality of life due to the inability to perform the simple tasks of the day to day in an autonomous, efficient and safe way. In addition, the female sex is also considered an independent risk factor for functional capacity decline. When compared to men, women are more affected by senescence due to hormonal changes associated with menopause that intensify muscle weakness and increases the risk of mortality....

Adenomatoid Tumor in the Fallopian Tube - A Rare Case

Geetika Goyal, Syed Abbas, Arati Inamdaar and Abraham Loo

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: July 27, 2019

Adenomatoid tumors are benign tumors of mesothelial origin seen in female genitourinary tract, most commonly involving the uterus and rarely fallopian tubes. We herein report a case of 46-year-old female who presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding with complex cyst in left adnexa and multiple leiomyomata upon pelvic imaging. Hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy were done. A circumscribed red-tan nodule, measuring 3.0 cm in maximum dimensions was identified on the left fallopian tube with a solid, homogenous yellow-tan cut surface. The histopathological examination revealed features of ade...
