Abstract Background Chylothorax is a well-documented complication of thoracic trauma and is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Treatment for chylothorax includes conservative measures (total parenteral nutrition, pleural drainage, and pleurodesis) and surgery (thoracic duct ligation). Case presentation We present the case of a 65-year-old man who developed chylothorax after an elective surgical procedure. In this report conservative treatment aims to reduce chyle flow, to drain the pleural cavity in an effective manner, and to prevent chronic sequelae. Optimal conservative treatment, started immediately upon diagnosis, effectively reduces the need for reoperation and long-term hospitalization, and it might prevent further sequelae of chylothorax. Conclusions The chylothorax was successfully treated conservatively, which may reduce the need for reoperation.

The sequelae of secretory otitis media (SOM) were monitored in 72 adult patients with SOM who were followed up for an average of 33 months. It was found that SOM became chronic and retraction of the tympanic membrane appeared as a function of the pneumatization of the mastoid. Ears with poor pneumatization (less than 6 cm2) developed chronic SOM in 52.2% of cases, as compared with 20% in cases with well-pneumatized ears (6 cm2 and above). Atelectasis developed in 37.3% of poorly pneumatized ears, and in only 5.7% of well-pneumatized ears. These sequelae may therefore be linked pathogenetically to the extent of pneumatization, as both the SOM and the sequelae appeared many years after formation and maturation of the pneumatic system. This study supports other studies that view the mastoid pneumatic system as an organ, as a middle ear pressure buffer. Well-pneumatized ears rarely develop a negative pressure and are seldom associated with chronic sequelae. Ears with poorly pneumatized mastoids lack the physiological function of such a pressure buffer. Ears with a tendency to develop a negative gas balance, whether as a result of deficient ventilation or excessive diffusion, will therefore develop a negative pressure more readily when their pneumatic system is underdeveloped, and consequently will be more prone to develop chronic sequelae.

Introduction: The prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection is a global health issue including Pakistan, causingconsiderable morbidity and mortality from its chronic sequelae including chronic chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer particularly whenHBV infection is acquired early in life. Objective: The present study was undertaken with the object to find out the current HBV infectionrate and any age and sex differentiation in the population of Faisalabad. Place a n d Duration: This studied was carried out at MadinaTeaching Hospital, Faisalabad, from May 2005 to April 2007. S t u d y D e s i g n : A descriptive, hospital based study. M e t h o d s : Blood wascollected by approved medical techniques for HBsAg immunochromatographic devices were used to screen blood. Results: HBs antigenpositivity in Faisalabad is currently 1.55%. A significant majority of reactive cases belonged to the male gender (72.91 %) and the young agegroups 2-4 (43.75%). C o n c l u s i o n : Upon analyzing the results of this study, it was revealed that the number of HBV infected subjects isolatedis rather low in this area but the given figure is still notable in view of its high prevalence in the young age groups.
