Brown tumors are rare focal giant cell lesions of the bone caused by primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT). Brown tumor was reported in 1891; it presents as the end-stage findings of HPT. Common involvements are skull and pelvic girdle. We describe a case of 46-year-old female hemodialysis patient, with secondary HPT in whom multiple masses lesions of the left maxillary sinus and frontal bone were radiologically suspected to be brown tumor. This unusual manifestation of secondary HPT can be expected to occur with increased longevity of patients with renal failure and illustrates the need to include brown tumor in the differential diagnosis.

Antibiotic drugs are the most frequently prescribed medications among hospitalized patients for life-saving purposes, mainly in immunocompromised patient, like in patient with end stage renal disease on hemodialysis (HD) or those who had documented bacterial infection. Antibiotics disposition and their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics properties are affected in hemodialysis patient which increases the number of antibiotics dosing errors. Several epidemiological studies found that the majority of medication error related to antibiotics occurred during the prescribing phase (30.8%). However, there is missing data about the prevalence of errors in antibiotics dosing in HD patients.

Severe Coagulopathy

Nonsurgical bleeding after complex thoracic aortic procedures (such as aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm) is a great challenge for cardiac surgeons because of severe coagulopathy, exsanguinous bleeding, and inevitable death. Temporary mediastinal packing (with sponge) in such cases is the only life-saving technique with good result in most cases. Herein, we presented three cases with acute aortic dissection with intractable bleeding that was successfully managed with mediastinal packing.

Enhanced Computed Tomography

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) account for three-quarters of aortic aneurysms and affect 2–4% of men older than 65 years. Prevalence is three to six times higher in men and atherosclerosis is the main underlying cause of AAA development. Generally, an aortic diameter of 30 mm or greater constitutes an AAA. Aortic aneurysms are usually asymptomatic until rupture, being associated with a mortality of almost 80–90%. This has raised interest in nationwide AAA screening programmes and trials have demonstrated that ultrasound-based screening of at-risk populations is effective in reducing AAA-related mortality. In the absence of screening, diagnosis is usually incidental during imaging for unrelated medical problems. If an AAA is diagnosed, the entire aorta needs to be assessed including iliac arteries for concomitant aneurysms. Peripheral aneurysms at femoral and popliteal locations may be coexisting in up to 14% of patients. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging is used for a more refined AAA assessment. Enhanced spiral CT with curved multiplanar reconstruction allows exact characterization of the aortic anatomy, which is relevant if aortic repair is considered, the optimal treatment method is to be determined, and the procedure is to be planned. Symptomatic AAA patients should have immediate imaging to make a diagnosis before catastrophic rupture, and in patients with a presumed rupture, swift diagnosis and treatment is life-saving. The choice of the imaging modality is guided by the haemodynamic status of the patient, considering that CT is the required tool to determine and plan the appropriate life-saving procedure.
