Appendicitis is a common and urgentsurgical illness with protean manifestations,generous overlap with other clinical syndromes,and significant morbidity,whichincreases with diagnostic delay. No single sign,symptom,or diagnostic test accurately confirms the diagnosis ofappendiceal inflammation in all cases. The surgeon's goals are to evaluate a relatively small population of patients referred for suspected appendicitis and to minimize the negative appendectomy rate without increasing the incidence of perforation. The emergency department clinician must evaluate the larger group of patients who present to the ED with abdominal pain of all etiologies with the goal of approaching 100% sensitivity for the diagnosis in a time-,cost-,and consultation-efficient manner.IN 1886Reginald fitz, pathologist 1st described the clinical condition of A.A.Fewyears laterCharles mcBurney describe the clinical finding ofA.A.55% of patients presented with classical symptom of A.A so complication occurbecauseof atypical presentation which due to variation in app. Position, age of patient & degree of inflammation.Migrating pain 80% sensitive and specific Vomiting 50% Nausea60 -90 %Anorexia 75 % Diarrhea18 % 32 % has similar attach 90 % RLQ tenderness Marklesign 74 %Dunphy's sign (sharp pain in the RLQ elicited by a voluntary cough) may be helpful in making the clinical diagnosis of localized peritonitis.

ABSTRACT Context: Painful diabetic polyneuropathy (PDN) is common and causes significant disability. The sensory profile in each patient is different and affects quality of life. Aim: To describe the demographic, details of sensory profile and its impact on quality of life in patients with PDN. Settings and Design: A cross-sectional survey in patients with PDN who were treated in a University Hospital. Materials and Methods: They were interviewed with standard questionnaires, which included neuropathic pain scale (NPS), a short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and a short form-36 quality of life survey (SF-36). Statistical Analysis Used: Descriptive statistics were used in demographic data. Student′s t test was used to analyze continuous data. Multiple comparisons for proportions and correlations were made using Fisher Exact test and Pearson′s coefficient of correlation, respectively. Results: Thirty three patients were included in this study. In NPS, sharp pain was the most common symptom and itching was the least common. Almost all patients had more than one type of pain. The mean VAS was 53 mm. In SFMPQ, the sensory score, affective score and the present pain score fell in the moderate range. In SF-36, physical functioning was the most affected and social function was the least affected. Conclusions: PDN significantly affects patients′ quality of life, especially physical function and role limitation due to a physical problem. Almost all patients have many types of pain and sharp pain is the most common.

Introduction: Climbers sometimes support their body with one finger hooked on a rocky ledge. This peculiar manoeuvre may cause a characteristic injury of the flexor tendon sheath, named "climber's finger". Symptoms: (1) A sharp pain when grasping, and a sudden "snap" sound and snapping phenomenon in the concerned fingers and (2) a tender palpable mass proximal to the PIP joint. Mechanism of occurrence: When a finger forms a hook, the highest stress point of the flexor tendon sheath is between the first cruciform pulley and the second annular pulley. When the full body weight is held mainly with the weak first cruciform pulley, it sometimes ruptures. Therapy: Conservative therapy to prevent bowstringing was applied for eight cases. Six patients recovered after three months; the other two cases underwent operations. Conclusion: If conservative therapy is found to be ineffective after three months, suturing of the tendon sheath should be indicated for climber's finger.

A 66-year-old man was admitted to a hospital rehabilitation unit for the management of chronic groin pain. Since the groin pain began, he had been unable to bear weight on his right foot. During a podiatric examination, the patient reported sharp pain at the apex of his right hallux. A full podiatric assessment was undertaken to evaluate his vascular, neurologic, and biomechanical status. The patient’s ankle-brachial index was found to be 0.34 in the right lower limb and 0.68 in the left lower limb. After vascular assessment, the patient was diagnosed as having chronic ischemia of the right leg. He underwent left-to-right femoral-to-femoral bypass graft surgery to salvage the right lower leg and foot. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 97(5): 402–404, 2007)

Background: Studies on failed superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) repair are increasing. However, the number of reports on treatment options for failed SLAP repair remains quite low, and the clinical results vary between different study groups. Purpose: To describe the clinical presentation of failed SLAP repair due to knot-induced pain and evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic knot removal. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed records of 11 patients (mean age, 24.6 ± 8.6 years; range, 17-43 years) with stable, healed SLAP lesions with knot-induced pain after arthroscopic fixation of unstable type II SLAP lesions. All patients demonstrated a positive compression-rotation test before knot removal. The mean follow-up duration after knot removal was 48.0 ± 37.4 months (range, 24-156 months). The mean duration between primary fixation and knot removal was 21.2 ± 14.7 months (range, 8-56 months). Results: Sharp pain (100%) and clicking (64%) were the most common symptoms. The knot was positioned on the glenoid side in 5 patients and the labral side in 6 patients. The knots on the glenoid side had associated humeral head cartilage damage. The mean University of California at Los Angeles score significantly improved from 15.2 points to 31.7 points after knot removal ( P = .003) Additionally, the mean Constant score greatly improved from a mean of 56.5 points to 89.8 points ( P = .003). At a mean of 3 weeks after surgery, we observed dramatic pain relief. Six weeks after surgery, the compression-rotation test was negative in all patients. Conclusion: The most common symptom of knot-induced pain after SLAP repair was persistent sharp pain followed by clicking. The knot appears to be a cause of pain in failed SLAP repairs, and arthroscopic knot removal can provide dramatic pain relief and significant improvement of clinical outcomes.

History Of

Rasmussen’s aneurysm (RA) is a pseudoaneurysm of a pulmonary artery (AP), adjacent to or within a tuberculous cavity, appearing in 5% of these lesions. Its rupture might provoke massive hemoptysis (MH) with a near 50% mortality. The aim of this article is to report a case of massive hemoptysis following Rasmussen’s aneurysm. 52-year-old man with recent history of hospitalization due to pneumonia associated to influenza A and decompensated hyperthyroidism, presents outpatient chest radiograph with signs of hyperinflation and scarring apical opacities, the patient returned to the hospital due to sharp pain of left hemi thorax during inspiration accompanied with bloody sputum, asthenia and non-quantified weight loss. He evolves to frank MH, requiring endotracheal intubation managed in the intensive care unit (ICU). Chest computed tomography (CT) reported ground-glass opacity, nodules with a tendency to cavitation, tree-inbud pattern in agreement with inflammation and infection, active TB is considered, and truncus of PA with vascular lesion suggestive of aneurysm dependent on pulmonary circulation, possibly RA. Fibrobronchoscopy reported signs of old and recent bleeding of left bronchial tree, probably of the lingula, blood clots in right bronchial tree. Molecular study and TB cultures was negative. Endovascular procedure with arteriography was carried out, revealing amputation of left distal segmental PA carrying the pseudoaneurysm with complete regression, discarding embolization RA It must be considered among the differential diagnoses of MH, especially on patients with pulmonary TB complications, such as the reported case. Due to its associated increased mortality, once RA is identified, it must be either endovascularly or surgically eradicated.

Extreme Pain

Nikyo is the second teaching of Aikido ( ni-two, kyo-teaching, in Japanese). It is a joint-lock technique that results in extreme pain. It allows one to control an opponent by destroying his will to continue fighting. Nikyo is accomplished by flexing and adducting an opponent's wrist producing an instantaneous sharp pain that causes him to fall to his knees involuntarily to alleviate the pressure. The exact etiology of the pain elicited by this technique has been obscure to many practitioners. The usual explanations have been nerve compression, joint capsular stretch, tendon/muscle strain, or partial ligamentous disruption. Studies of a cadaver's wrist have shown that Nikyo forcibly compresses the pisiform bone against the ulna, two bones that do not normally articulate. The intense pain thereby produced results from stimulation of the periosteal nerves in these bony surfaces.
