Reactive Edema after Endoscopic Polipectomy Simulating a polypoid Lesion: A New Pitfall in CT Colonography

Francesco Lassandro, Luigi Urciuoli, Marilina D'Amora, Tullio Valente, Giulia Lassandro and Enrica Barra

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: December 08, 2015

Computed Tomography Colonography (CTC) is a feasible and minimally invasive technique widely accepted both for screening and diagnosis of colon cancer. The major limit of CTC compared to optical endoscopy resides in its minor specificity due to false positive findings. Several non-pathologic aspects mimicking true polyps are described in medical literature and are well known to radiologists. In this study we report seven pathologically documented cases of reactive edema appearing after a previou...

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: December 02, 2015

A 26 year old male with no significant past medical history presented in March of 2015 with hematuria found to have bilateral renal masses - large mixed cystic/solid lesions on computerized tomography. He was diagnosed with clear-cell renal cell carcinoma with metastasis to the lymph nodes and pulmonary nodules suspicious of metastasis. Shortly after diagnosis, he completed 3 cycles of chemotherapy (sunitinib) prior to developing a pleural effusion, requiring thoracentesis for symptom relief as ...

Use of Infraclavicular Temporary Perineural Catheter in the Exercise for Range of Joint Motion - Case Report

Ilke Kupeli, Ufuk Kuyrukluyildiz, Hakan Gokalp Tas and Aysin Alagol

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: December 02, 2015

Olecranon fractures are the most common type of injury seen in the upper extremities and restricted joint mobility may be developed due to the long plaster cast time. Most of these patients will be required to participate in intense physical therapy in order to maintain and increase range of motion postoperatively. This physiotherapy process is a serious stressor for these patients because of pain. In addition to several modalities such as systemic administration of opioids, permanent/temporary ...

Gemella Prosthetic Aortic Valve Endocarditis Treated Successfully with Vancomycin and Gentamicin

Rupa Patel, Drew Schwartz, Lemuel Non and Alan Braverman

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: November 18, 2015

Gemella, a facultative anaerobic Gram-positive cocci normally found in the oral cavity, is a well-described but rare cause of subacute infective endocarditis. Its exact incidence may be underestimated because of difficulties isolating this organism. We describe a case of bioprosthetic aortic valve, late-onset endocarditis with Gemella that was treated with vancomycin and gentamicin initially, in a 59 year-old man who reported severe allergy to penicillin....

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor near Gastroesophageal Junction with Concomitant Hiatal Herni

Amir Aryaie, Yuxiang Wen and Leena Khaitan

Article Type: Case Series | First Published: November 12, 2015

The patient is a 71 years old lady who initially presents with significant gastroesophageal reflux, chronic blood loss anemia, and mild dysphagia. Her reflux symptoms have been refractory to optimal medical treatments. She was initially afebrile with unremarkable vital signs, and physical exam was otherwise normal: abdomen was non-tender, non-distended, and no hepatosplenomegaly. Despite the fact that she denied recent weight gain or weight loss, her hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were 8.6 an...

Case Series and Proposed System of Nomenclature for Aneurysms of the Portal Venous System

Anthony Visioni, John Ammori and Jeffrey Hardacre

Article Type: Case Series | First Published: November 09, 2015

Aneurysms of the portal vein (PV), superior mesenteric vein (SMV), and splenic vein (SV) are rare. There are less than 200 cases reported in the English literature since the condition was first described in 1956 by Barzilai and Klecker. Studies to date have commented on the radiographic characteristics, natural history, and possible management options of this clinical entity. While most of the literature falls under the category of portal venous aneurysms, there are also case reports of isolated...

Interferon and Ribavirin-Induced Oral Hyperpigmentation in Two Taiwanese Patients: Case Report and Literature Review

Yu-Jong Weng and Min-Fu Tsan

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: November 01, 2015

A variety of medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-malarials, amiodarone, cytotoxic drugs, tetracyclines, heavy metals, and psychotropic drugs, may cause cutaneous hyperpigmentation. Recently, hyperpigmentation of the tongue and oral mucosa have also been reported in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who were being treated with either short acting IFN or long acting polyethylene glycol-conjugated IFN (PEG-IFN) combined with ribavirin (RBV). The IFN or PEG-...

A Case of Acute Pancreatitis without Enzyme Elevation - A Rare Presentation of a Common Condition

Edupuganti Mohan Mallikarjuna Rao, Vjayanthi Ganga, Michael Moore and Srikanth Medarametla

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: October 30, 2015

Acute Pancreatitis is most often diagnosed based on a threefold elevation of amylase and lipase in the appropriate clinical setting. Very rarely the enzyme levels may be completely normal casting a doubt on the diagnosis. We present a case of acute pancreatitis without elevation of enzymes, review the literature, enlist the situations where serum enzyme levels are not elevated, discuss the diagnostic criteria, enzyme kinetics and briefly delve into the newer biomarkers of acute pancreatitis....

A Comparative study on Efficacy of 10% and 20% Mannitol for Inducing Diuresis During Renal Transplant Surgery

Mohammed Husam Nafie

Article Type: Original Research Article | First Published: November 19, 2015

Mannitol is one of the most commonly used osmotic diuretics during renal transplant surgery. Two concentrations of mannitol, 10% and 20%, are available, however there is no consensus about which concentration is to be preferred. The purpose of this study was to compare between the efficacy of the two concentrations of mannitol for inducing diuresis during renal transplant surgery and the need for further diuretics (furosemide)....
