Septicemia from Yersinia enterocolitica is unusual. Hepatic involvement occurring in this clinical setting is a rare complication. A case of a 64-year-old man who developed septicemia from Y enterocolitica is reported. Abdominal ultrasound and computerized axial tomography scan revealed multiple defects in liver parenchyma compatible with abscesses. After treatment with intravenous aminoglycosides followed by trimethoprim-sulfomethoxazole, recovery was complete. General considerations regarding the manifestations and pathogenesis of Y enterocolitica are discussed, with a review of the literature.

AbstractWe report the case of a 52-year-old woman who presented with a several-year history of palpitation (exacerbated by emotional stress and physical activity) and recent development of atypical chest pain. An investigation was undertaken to diagnose the patient’s problem and to recommend the best possible therapy. Transthoracic echocardiography and a computerized axial tomography scan showed evidence of complete absence of the pericardium, which is a rare congenital heart defect.

Abstract A 35-years-old female post-endoscopic gastroplasty presented to the emergency department complaining of epigastric abdominal pain. The abdominal examination showed epigastric and tenderness. On abdomen computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan she had small bowel obstruction with twisting of mesenteric vessel. The patient taken to the operating room for diagnostic laparoscopy and proceed, laparoscopic examination showed proximal dilatation of small intestine with collapse of distal part of jejunum, the obstruction identified, as fibrous band originating from the stomach to the proximal part of jejunum, this band caused by suture penetrating the stomach wall, which is going with the previous history of the endoscopic gastroplasty, reduction of the internal hernia done by releasing of the fibrous band, the herniated segment was healthy. Internal hernia can present with variety of complications. To the best of our knowledge from the literature review, this is the first case to be reported as internal abdominal hernia secondary to endoscopic gastroplasty.

We report a case in which a 28-year-old infertile bilateral cryptorchoid man with decreased performance status presented to the department of urology with a mildly tender mass in right inguinal region. Both ultrasonography and Computerized axial tomography scan (CT Scan) suggested that the mass arose from right sided undescended testis and left sided testis was normal-sized intrabdominal. His serum á-fetoprotein and LDH were within normal range and only â-hCG was raised 3-fold. He was found azoospermic, his serum LH and FSH were increased but serum testosterone was reduced. The mass was removed by inguinal exploration and histopathology confirmed seminoma of testis. Orchidopexy was done on contralateral side one month after the first operation. A mass in the lower abdomen in a sexually active man with cryptorchoid testis strongly points towards the diagnosis of malignancy in the abdominal testis1. The clinician should aware of it and the urologist should do prompt removal of the tumor and orchidopexy in contralateral side in bilateral case irrespective of age.

Inferior Alveolar Canal

The knowledge and application of anatomy is essential for any professional involved in the evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of the different alterations of the maxillofacial complex. The ignorance of the anatomical relationships of the inferior alveolar duct in the different surgical procedures can lacerate, compress or stretch the nerve generating lesions such as neuropraxia, axonotmesis and neurotmesis. The objective of this review is to describe the variations of the inferior alveolar duct course reported in the literature. There are 6 possible categories in which the variations of the CAI can be classified: 4 views in panoramic radiographs (two dimensions) and 2 views in computerized axial tomography (three dimensions). The inferior alveolar duct presents a great variability between patients and populations, which accentuate the product of tooth loss and alveolar reabsorption. Computed tomography of conic beam is the most suitable method for its evaluation.

Computed axial tomography (C.T.) findings are illustrated in 3 patients who presented with C.T. changes suggesting respectively chronic M.S., acute M.S., and an appearance simulating a malignant tumour. Review of the literature shows that the chronic form with cerebral atrophy and low density lesions in the hemispheres is common in patients with a long history and is unlikely to cause diagnostic difficulty. The acute presentation is less common and could be confused with a variety of causes of multiple low density enhancing lesions. The C.T. diagnosis of M.S. is more difficult in rare cases in which plaques cause mass effect and show ring enhancement; all 3 such cases in the literature were subjected to cerebral biopsy.

Objetivo: Describir la relación existente entre el tamaño tumoral y el nivel de prolactina en pacientes con diagnóstico de prolactinoma manejados en el servicio de endocrinología en un centro de atención especializada de Costa Rica.Diseño: Estudio retrospectivo, observacional y descriptivo con los datos de un único centro.Marco de referencia: En la evaluación del prolactinoma existe consenso en la correlación entre el nivel de prolactina y el tamaño del adenoma, no obstante, son escasos los reportes sobre la magnitud de esta relación y la posibilidad de establecer una ecuación que genere una aproximación del diámetro tumoral.Participantes: Se incluyeron los pacientes con diagnóstico de prolactinoma manejados en el servicio de endocrinología de un centro hospitalario costarricense entre los años 2008 y 2014, en quienes se contaba con una medición de prolactina y un estudio por imágenes que lograra determinar la presencia de un adenoma hipofisario.Intervenciones y mediciones: Para la determinación de prolactina se recurrió al inmunoensayo por electroquimioluminiscencia, y el tamaño tumoral del prolactinoma se definió en estudio por resonancia magnética o tomografía axial computarizada, con un lapso de separación no mayor a seis meses entre ellos.Resultados: Se reclutaron 32 casos de pacientes con prolactinomas. La edad promedio fue de 32,8 años, con un 75% de mujeres y un 56,2% de macroprolactinomas; el tamaño tumoral promedio fue de 15,6 ± 12,3 mm y la mediana de prolactina de 250,5 ng/mL. Se obtuvo un coeficiente de correlación de Pearson de 0,822 (p<0,001), el cual dio base para la creación de dos fórmulas para la predicción del diámetro mayor de la lesión tumoral corregidas por la edad, la primera para prolactinemias menores de 500 ng/mL y otra para valores iguales o mayores a esta cifra.Conclusiones: El presente estudio permitió desarrollar dos ecuaciones mediante las cuales se puede predecir el diámetro mayor tumoral aproximado a partir del valor inicial hormonal.Abstract Introduction: In the clinical evaluation of patients with prolactinomas, there is a consensus on the literature regarding the correlation between prolactin levels and tumor size; however, there are few reports that detail about the magnitude of this relationship and the possibility of establishing an equation that may estimate the adenoma diameter. Material and methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational and descriptive study with data from a single center, which intended to verify the relationship between tumor size and prolactinemia. All of the included patients had measurements for prolactin blood levels and pituitary imaging with at least one diameter measurement of the adenoma.Measurements and interventions: prolactin blood levels were determined by electrochemicaluminiscense immunoassay, and the size of the adenoma was defined by magnetic resonance imaging or computerized axial tomography scan, each study taken within a maximum of 6 months. Results: Thirty-two cases of patients with prolactinomas were assessed. The average age of the patients was of 32,8 ± 13,1 years, 75% were women and 56,2% were diagnosed with a macroprolactinoma. Mean tumor size was of 15,6 ± 12,3 mm and the median of prolactin level was 250,5 ng/mL. We report a Pearson’s correlation coefficient of 0,82 (p<0,001), showing a strong positive linear association between the prolactinemia and the tumor size. Through multiple linear regression analysis, we obtained two equations that allowed the prediction of the adenoma diameter given the prolactin level, adjusted by age. Conclusion: We developed two equations that allowed us to estimate the largest tumoral diameter given the prolactin blood levels.

Domestic shorthair 10-year-old cat, not sterilized, not vaccinated, feeding from the table. We went to the clinic with breast cancer. General and special research methods were performed: blood analysis, x-ray examination of the lungs and abdominal ultrasound. Based on anamnesis and clinical examination, the diagnosis was made: a malignant breast tumor. The operation was performed. The operating material is sent for histological examination. Chemotherapy was prescribed. After the fi rst chemotherapy and monitoring of the animal's condition, it was necessary to perform a second unilateral mastoectomy of the remaining mammary glands, but the animal's owners refused to perform the operation. Chemotherapy was performed twice. Re-applied, after a year and a half with a sharp deterioration in the General condition and the appearance of a new tumor on the non-removed mammary glands. The owners refused the necessary treatment and decided to euthanize the cat. At the autopsy, breast neoplasms are presented as tubercles of various sizes. There are pronounced signs of inflammation, ulceration and necrosis foci. In the chest cavity, the lungs are enlarged, there were single and multiple formations of white and brown color, round shape of different diameters, dense consistency. There is a large number of metastases in the liver parenchyma. The organ is enlarged in size, dark brown in color, irregularly colored, with an uneven (bumpy) surface. In General, there are many dense nodes of a round-oval shape of white color, of various diameters. Histological examination of the tumor revealed foci of necrosis, atypical glandular complexes with frequently occurring mitosis figures. This structure indicates a low-grade breast adenocarcinoma. In the lungs, there is an expansion of the alveoli and bronchioles, thinning and rupture of the interalveolar partitions. There is a complex of tumor cells. In the liver, there is a lack of structural units of the liver, hepatocytes disperse chaotically, liver triads do not have a clear localization, atrophy and necrosis are expressed. Metastases in the liver, various forms. In a cat, a breast tumor interpreted as an adenocarcinoma had different biological behavior. At the initial diagnosis-adenocarcinoma of medium differentiation, and a year and a half later-low-grade adenocarcinoma.
