Purpose To investigate the association rate between abdominal wall and pelvic endometriosis in a population of Iranian patients, in University and private hospitals of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Methods 30 women were diagnosed as abdominal wall endometriosis according to the clinical signs and symptoms (dysmenorrhea, dyspauronia and pelvic pain) and the sonographic findings. The mean age of the patients was 30.5 ±3.3 (range 21–35) years. All the patients underwent resection of abdominal wall mass and investigation of the pelvic cavity for detecting pelvic endometriosis by laparoscopy. The pelvic endometriosis was scored and the stage was determined. Results 28 (93.3%) patients were found to have concomitant pelvic endometriosis. The mean score of pelvic endometriosis was 9.3 ± 6.6 (range 3–33). Of the patients, 10 (33.3%) suffered from stage I endometriosis, 16 (53.3%) from stage II, and 2 (6.7%) from stage III. Only 2 (6.7%) patients did not have concomitant pelvic endometriosis. The abdominal wall mass was successfully excised in all the cases. The histopathology diagnosis was confirmed in all the cases. Conclusions The association rate between abdominal wall and pelvic endometriosis is higher than that previously reported, up to 90%. Thus, routine investigation of the pelvic cavity is recommended in all the patients with abdominal wall endometriosis.

Clinical Signs And Symptoms

Acute appendicitis in puerperium is often diagnosed too late, because clinical signs can be unrelaible. Abdominal wall rigidity is rarely noticed in puerpeium because of weak abdominal wall muscles, laboratory parameters are not enough relaible and atipycal appendix presentation makes difficulties in diagnosis3,4. Knowing clinical signs and symptoms of appendicitis, possible complications and their early detection, make a chance for a good surgical outcome. Measuring of axillar and rectal temperature can take confusion in, and prolong time until surgical treatment. Leucocytosis in puerperium is not valid for diagnosis. We report a case of patient in puerperium with high laboratory infection parameters. Diagnosis of appendicitis is made based on clinical signs and symptoms, that is proved intraoperatively and histologicaly. Appendectomy without perforation carries less risks for mother and fetus.

Abstract Background Birdshot retinochoroiditis (BRC) is a rare and chronic bilateral uveitis mostly found in Caucasians. As few data are available about the clinical course of BRC in Hispanic patients, we aimed to report the clinical findings and the evolution of BRC in Brazilian patients. Methods This retrospective cohort multicenter nationwide study was performed by analyzing the records of patients with BRC diagnoses from Brazilian ophthalmological centers from April 1995 to May 2020. Results Forty patients (80 eyes) with a diagnosis of BRC were evaluated. The mean age was 53 years, and there was no sex predominance. All tested patients (34/40) were positive for HLA-A29. The diagnosis of BRC was made following the Levinson et al. criteria, and all ancillary tests were performed to exclude differential diagnoses. Clinical signs and symptoms, such as complications and treatment, were described. Conclusions BRC evolution in Brazilian patients seems to have some peculiarities that diverge from the published literature available about Caucasians, as AS inflammation is higher in this population.

Aim. To evaluate the hospital outcomes of chemical angioplasty in patients with vasospasm secondary to the clipping of the ruptured cerebral artery aneurysm.Methods. 18 patients who underwent chemical angioplasty were included in the study. Patients’ age ranged from 24 to 66 years old, the mean age was 46.6±13.2 years. Indications for chemical angioplasty and the criteria for its termination were determined by the neurosurgeon based on clinical signs and symptoms, and the data of the non-invasive examination.Results.The sessions of chemical angioplasty were performed an average of 4.7±2.3 days after the aneurysm clipping and 6.5±3 days after the onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The number of sessions was 4.8±2.2 and varied from 1 to 9 sessions. The baseline Lindergard index was 3.82±0.6. Three patients (16.6%) died in the in-hospital period. The Lindergard index after the end of chemical angioplasty was 2.75±0.84, which is unreliably lower (p = 0.31) than that at the baseline.Conclusion. Timely chemical angioplasty can reduce the development of significant vasospasm complications, particularly ischemic neurologic deficit.

Abstract Background: Human parechovirus (HPeV) is recognized as a potentially severe viral infection such as gastrointestinal , respiratory and sepsis disease.In neonates and young infants. HPeV-1 is the most prevalent genotype and most commonly causes sepsis in young infants. The aim of study was to determine the prevalence of HPeV in hospitalized young infants with sepsis.Methods: The sera of 100 samples were collected from young infants [46 (46%) females and 54(54%) males < below 90 days] with clinical signs and symptoms of sepsis. The total RNA was extracted, cDNA was synthesized. The Nested PCR was carried out for detection of HPeV. The mean , chi square tests were used for distributions of HPeV genotypes among the gender, age group and season.Results: 5/100 (5%) of patients including 2/46(2%) females and 3/54(3%) males showed positive for HPeV (P=0.85). The results of sequencing and phylogenetic tree revealed that the isolated HPeV were genotype 1.Conclusion: Low prevalence of 5% HPeV were detected. HPeV was dominant in this region. The screening HPeV RNA in patients with sepsis may reduce the use of antibiotics and shorten the duration of hospitalization.

There are millions of working children worldwide. In gem polishing industry, exposure to occupational hazards of dust and chemicals used in polishing of gemstone may result in respiratory symptoms and respiratory disorders. The present study included 586 exposed and 569 comparison group subjects. Data was collected through personal interview, clinical examination, and chest radiography. The respiratory morbidity was diagnosed on the basis of clinical signs and symptoms and chest radiography. The study variables included age, sex, daily working hours, and duration of exposure. The mean age of the child laborers was 11.31 ± 5.34 years. Prevalence of respiratory morbidity was significantly high in the female child laborers. The other study variables namely age, duration of exposure, and daily working hours were found to be statistically non-significant. The prevalence of respiratory morbidity among child laborers of gem polishing industry in Jaipur was found to be 7%.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the demographic characteristics of patients with central giant cell granulomas (CGCGs) and peripheral giant cell granulomas (PGCGs) in Iranian population.Methods: The data were obtained from records of 1019 patients with CGCG and PGCG of the jaws referred to our department between 1972 and 2010. This 38-year retrospective study was based on existing data. Information regarding age distribution, gender, location of the lesion and clinical signs and symptoms was documented. Results: A total of 1019 patients were affected GCGLs including 435 CGCGs and 584 PGCGs during the study. The mean age was 28.91 ± 18.16. PGCGs and CGCGs had a peak of occurrence in the first and second decade of life respectively. A female predominance was shown in CGCG cases (57.70%), whereas PGCGs were more frequent in males (50.85%). Five hundred and ninety-eight cases of all giant cell lesions (58.7 %) occurred in the mandible. Posterior mandible was the most frequent site for both CGCG and PGCG cases. The second most common site for PGCG was posterior maxilla (21%), whereas anterior mandible was involved in CGCG (19.45%). The majority of patients were asymptomatic. Conclusions: In contrast to most of previous studies PGCGs occur more common in the first decade and also more frequently in male patients. Although the CGCGs share some histopathologic similarities with PGCGs, differences in demographic features may be observed in different populations which may help in the diagnosis and management of these lesions.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(2) 2016 p.220-223
