A wild-captive male Jenkins' whipray was found dead in a quarantine tank with a clinical sign before death in the form of decreased appetite for a week. The treatment history was oral administration of enrofloxacin antibiotic tablets. The therapy period lasts for ten days. The last treatment was the administration of Hepavit® (liver extract) and intramuscular injection of enrofloxacin antibiotic. One day before the death, blood was collected and then examined for the hematocrit and some parameters of chemical blood. The results of blood examination were found a decrease in blood urea nitrogen (BUN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, increased glucose level, decreased total protein and albumin levels, and increased globulin level. Anatomical pathology examination was found lesions on the tail, around the eyes, and claspers. Hemorrhagic lesions were found in the mucous layer of the esophagus, stomach, and spiral colon. The blood clot was found under the tunica layer of testicular organs. The liver is damaged by showing a non-homogeneous coloration, organ thickening, congestion, and fragile consistency. Based on the results of the blood examination and was supported by the results of the anatomical pathology examination after death, it is suspected that the fish died due to the condition of septicemia infection during the previous few weeks.

Hepatic Amyloidosis

Although systemic amyloidosis of amyloid-associated protein (AA) type (secondary or reactive amyloidosis) frequently involves the liver, it rarely causes clinically apparent liver disease. Mild elevation of alkaline phosphatase and hepatomegaly are the most common biochemical and clinical findings, respectively. We report a case of systemic amyloidosis of AA type, which clinically presented as subacute hepatic failure and resulted in a fatal clinical course in a 69-year-old man. To the best of our knowledge, this is the fifth case of hepatic amyloidosis of AA type that clinically presented as fatal subacute hepatic failure, an unusual clinical presentation for hepatic involvement by systemic AA-type amyloid.

Intravascular Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia (IPEH) or Masson’s Tumor is a benign vascular tumor, most commonly seen on the skin and usually on the head, neck or extremities. It is more common in women with no age predilection. Visceral involvement is very rare, with about 30 intra-abdominal reports. We present a case report of a 58 year old woman who underwent a CT scan due to dysphagia complaints, with an incidental known finding of growth in the adrenal adenoma, which was 5 cm in diameter on hospitalization. The patient underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Biopsy results demonstrated a brownish yellow lesion, 2.8 cm in diameter, composed of a blood clot and septate. Immunochemical staining for CD31 and CD34 was positive and the lesion was diagnosed as an IPEH of pure form. Our review of literature examines different forms of IPEH, previous reports and characteristics of Masson’s tumors in the adrenal gland and stratifies ways of differentiation it from other benign or malignant lesions of the adrenal.

Hemorrhage is one of the major causes of maternal death. Main causes of APH are placenta previa, placenta abruption and uterine rupture. Rare causes of placenta abruption include marginal and velamentous umbilical cord insertions. We hereby present a case of placenta abruption due to marginal umbilical cord insertions occurring on a bipartite placenta. A 40-year-old nulliparous African woman, 35 weeks pregnant consulted for dark red pervaginal bleeding, which occurred recently. Past history was unremarkable. Her pregnancy was well followed up. A recent ultrasound scan revealed a fundal inserted placenta. Physical examination revealed a fundal height of 37 cm, no uterine activity, normal fetal heart tones and a blood-stained vulva. Our diagnosis was a mild placenta abruption. An obstetrical ultrasound carried out revealed a normal pregnancy and a retroplacental blood clot of 11mm. A safe baby was born through an emergency cesarean section which revealed a normally inserted bipartite placenta with a 10% placenta detachment located on one placenta half and two cords inserted marginally. The postoperative period was uneventful and she was discharged five days after cesarean section. This case report shows that marginal cord insertion, which can lead to placenta abruption, can be also observed on a bipartite placenta.

Permanent Molar

Traditionally, immature teeth diagnosed with necrotic pulp and periapical periodontitis were treated by apexification with long-term calcium hydroxide or in one session with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or Biodentine apical plug. However, these teeth become fragile and susceptible to root fracture. Regenerative endodontic procedure is a new therapeutic approach that promotes continuation of root growth in immature necrotic teeth potentially preventing root fracture. Only few case reports have shown the success of this procedure on molar cases. The current case report demonstrates a regeneration of a lower first molar with necrotic pulp and chronic apical abscess treated with Micro Mega-MTA (MM-MTA), a new endodontic biomaterial that has not been described previously. Calcium hydroxide was used as an intracanal medicament for two weeks. Next, calcium hydroxide was removed and after blood clot creation, MM-MTA® was placed over it. Apical healing and continuation of root growth were evident at nine months follow-up. CBCT at two years follow-up confirmed apical closure and complete healing. This case shows that a regenerative endodontic procedure for management of an immature necrotic permanent molar is feasible and can be successfully done using Ca(OH)2 and MM-MTA.

Introduction. The number of humans infected by Fasciola hepatica is increasing worldwide. Humans can become accidental hosts by ingesting drinking water or plants contaminated with metacercariae. Case report. We reported a case of a 68-year-old Serbian woman, in which the diagnosis of acute fasciolosis had been established after serious diagnostic concerns. Based on clinical picture (episodic right upper quadrant abdominal pain, febrility and generalized body pain) and biochemical analyses (high eosinophilia and high activity of alkaline phosphatase), she was appointed as suspected to the acute fasciolosis. Stool and duodenal aspirate exams were negative for Fasciola ova. In the absence of adequate serologic diagnostic for fasciolosis in Serbia, the diagnosis was confirmed using enzyme immunoassays and immunoblot at the Institute for Tropical Diseases in Hamburg, Germany. Soon after triclabendazole was administered, the symptoms disappeared and biochemical values returned to normal. Conclusion. The diagnosis of human fasciolosis may be problematic and delayed, especially in non endemic areas, because physicians rarely encounter this disease and a long list of other diseases must be considered in the differential diagnosis. The syndrome of eosinophilia, fever, and right upper quadrant abdominal pain suggest acute fasciolosis. Unclear source does not rule out fasciolosis.
