Eye Damage

Uveitis is the inflammation of the anterior, intermediate, or posterior uvea, the pigmented part of the eye.  Uveitis can be infectious or non-infectious presented as autoimmune and immune-mediated. Non-infectious uveitis is the most common type of uveitis. It can be idiopathic or secondary to systemic diseases. Differential diagnosis is important, if early diagnosis and treatment are not applied, permanent eye damage can occur. In this review, an overview of non-infectious uveitis is examined with the mechanism, immunopathology, and classification.

<p> This work was devoted to improve the effectiveness of early diagnosis and treatment of patients with cystic odontogenic jaws of various origins, are prone to relapse and aggressive infiltrative growth. Of the 110 cases analyzed, the most common type of inflammatory cysts were radicular cysts (76.4%) and cysts with signs of keratinization of the epithelium (23,6%). Average age – 35,2 years. The peak incidence (47,3%) was recorded in the fourth decade in age from 41 to 60 years. The overall ratio of male to female ratio was 1:1.3. </p>

Salient Features

Dialysis encephalopathy (DE) is a distinct neuropsychiatric syndrome typically occurring in patients undergoing longterm hemodialysis. It is characterized by electroencephalographic abnormalities in association with disturbances of speech, cognition, movement, affect, or behavior. Previously thought to be relentlessly progressive, recent evidence linking the illness to aluminum overload has led to advances in prevention and treatment. Early diagnosis aids in the reversal or amelioration of the syndrome and can be of immense value to the patient, the family and involved health personnel. The general features of the syndrome, etiologic considerations, differential diagnosis and treatment are discussed. Three case studies are included to illustrate salient features of the syndrome.

Aggressive retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP) has subtle clinical findings that may preclude early diagnosis and treatment. Premature infants with AP-ROP have a progressive clinical course and may benefit from early laser treatment. Although subjective in nature, plus disease, and any posterior pole changes especially at the border of the vascular and avascular retina should be carefully evaluated, keeping AP-ROP in mind in especially high-risk preterm babies.

Optic Nerve Involvement

Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is the most common ischemic optic neuropathy and the most common type of optic neuropathy after glaucoma. It is a vascular optic neuropathy that is not related to inflammation, demyelinization, and compression and it is the most common visual loss due to optic nerve involvement. While incidence between the ages of 55-65 is increasing; factors affecting the etiopathogenesis and development of NAION and its treatment have not been clarified yet. This article summarizes the literature on the pathogenesis, clinical findings, diagnosis, and treatment of NAION.

Синдром Казабаха - Мерритта в детской практике встречается крайне редко. Клинические проявления многообразны, что затрудняет своевременную диагностику и лечение данного заболевания. Цель: привлечь внимание неонатологов и педиатров к своевременной диагностике редких гематологических синдромов. Материалы и методы. Проведено расширенное обследование ребенка и тщательная дифференциальная диагностика с другими сосудистыми аномалиями. Результаты. На основании оценки анамнеза, клинико - лабораторных и инструментальных методов обследования установлен диагноз СКМ. Выводы. Постановка диагноза СКМ требует проведения расширенного обследования ребенка и тщательной дифференцировки с другими сосудистыми аномалиями. Kazabach-Merritt syndrome is extremely rare in pediatric practice. Clinical manifestations are diverse- and this fact complicates the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease.Purpose: to draw the attention of neonatologists and pediatricians to the early diagnosis of rare hematological syndromes.Materials and methods. An extended examination of the child and a thorough differential diagnosis with other vascular anomalies were carried out. Results. The KMS was diagnosed on the base of: the assessment of the anamnesis, clinical - laboratory and instrumental examination methods.Conclusion. The diagnosis of KMS requires an extended examination of the child and careful differentiation of other vascular anomalies.

Incidental Discovery

PE remains a clinically challenging diagnosis, more often missed than found, with no decline in its incidental discovery at autopsy over the past 30 years. Pulmonary embolism should be considered in the differential diagnosis of every dyspnoea event that presents at an emergency department. We describe a case of 68 years old man with symptoms of dyspnoea who later diagnosed as pulmonary embolism. This case report emphasizes early diagnosis and treatment to avoid fatal outcome.University Heart Journal Vol. 12, No. 1, January 2016; 40-44

Respiratory Obstruction

Acute upper airway obstruction from laryngeal polyps is uncommon. However, a large pedunculated laryngeal polyp, when unrecognized, may produce sudden airway obstruction. The importance of an early diagnosis and treatment is stressed. Primary care physicians, endoscopists, anesthesiologists, and otolaryngologists should be aware of this condition and add it to their differential diagnosis of sudden respiratory obstruction.

Clinical Relevance This paper presents a comprehensive and systemic approach for determining the etiology of patients with xerostomia and the rapidly progressing potential systemic diseases that can result. Dentists must be reminded of their role in the early diagnosis and treatment of some systemic diseases, because the oral environment may show early symptoms that are relatively easy to detect.

Congenital Malaria

Although malaria is endemic in India, congenital malaria is not very common. Congenital malaria is a very rare condition in both endemic and nonendemic areas. We report a case of congenital malaria in a six-day-old neonate with fever and splenomegaly. The diagnosis was picked up accidentally on a peripheral smear examination. Congenital malaria should be kept as differential diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Timely detection of this condition could lead to early diagnosis and treatment, thereby preventing neonatal mortality.
