Unilateral Mastectomy

An 11-year-old, female Maltese was presented for evaluation of a mammary gland tumour. An abdominal sonographic examination showed an echogenic, fluid-filled, dilated uterus; pyometra was also diagnosed. Ovariohysterectomy and unilateral mastectomy was performed and the dog recovered uneventfully. However, 11 h later, the dog’s condition suddenly deteriorated and it died on the day after the surgery. Bacillus circulans and Bacillus megaterium were isolated from its uterine content; these species had not been reported previously in canine pyometra. The two species were resistant to various antibiotics, including cefazolin used during the treatment. We describe for the first time the presentation, diagnosis, bacterial isolation and fatal outcome of B. circulans and B. megaterium infection in a Maltese dog with pyometra.

Accident And Emergency Department

Dologesic is a commonly prescribed analgesic in accident and emergency department. Yet report of overdose with this drug is not common. We report a case in which the patient developed cardiac arrest within an hour of ingestion. Dextropropoxyphene, a component of the drug Dologesic, used to be a common cause of fatalities after drug overdose in the seventies. It is highly toxic in overdose and therefore caution should be exercised when prescribing this drug.

AbstractBackground: Known also as Osler’s triad, Austrian syndrome is a complex pathology which consists of pneumonia, meningitis and endocarditis, all caused by the haematogenous dissemination of Streptococcus pneumoniae. The multivalvular lesions are responsible for a severe and potential lethal outcome.Case report: The case of a 51-year-old female patient, with a past medical history of splenectomy, is presented. She developed bronchopneumonia, acute meningitis and infective endocarditis as a result of Streptococcus pneumoniae infection and subsequently developed multiple organ dysfunction syndromes which led to a fatal outcome. Bacteriological tests did not reveal the etiological agent. The histopathological examination showed a severe multivalvular endocarditis, while a PCR based molecular analysis from formalin fixed valvular tissue identified Streptococcus pneumoniae as the etiologic agent.Conclusions: The presented case shows a rare syndrome with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Following the broad-spectrum treatment and intensive therapeutic support, the patient made unfavourable progress which raised differential diagnosis problems. In this case, the post-mortem diagnosis demonstrated multiple valvular lesions occurred as a result of endocarditis.

Primary Empty Sella

Primary Empty Sella Syndrome (PES) is a relatively rare or uncommon developmental disease that develops spontaneously. It is characterized by herniation of subarachnoid space within the sella which is often associated with some degree of flattening of pituitary gland. Usually manifested by endocrine abnormalities, ocular abnormalities, rhinitis and intractable persistent headache. It is higher in obese females having multiple pregnancies. Here we report a case of empty sella syndrome in a 27 year old lady to aware the physicians to bear in mind a differential in patients having persistent intractable headache.

Wound dehiscence is the common problem which is faced by most of the surgeons in case of obese people. As we know, in case of post-operative wound management, avascularity and excessive adipose tissue lysis can lead to fluid collection which leads to gapping of sutured wound. This may also cause Dushta vrana i.e. secondary infection to the wound. Wound dehiscence in surgical field leads to most fatal outcome which can lead to cause local as well as systemic sepsis in the patient. Present case report reveals a treatment modality which involves multidisciplinary team approach such as management of wound as well as obesity by using Ayurvedic perspective. Whereas modern technique of resuturing the gapped wound exposes patient to another surgical procedure which is expensive and increases the hospital stay. The local and oral drugs formulations were proven effective in reducing excessive wound discharge as well as they stimulate the wound healing mechanism when administered in both local and systemic ways. The cost and benefit ratio was found high as there is no re-exposure to the surgical procedure and patient will get benefitted with non-invasive technique along with minimal expenses and hospital stay.

Abstract Subarachnoid hemorrhage represents a rare event in pregnancy with a high mortality rate. We present the case of a 39-year-old pregnant woman who developed right vertebral artery dissection with subsequent massive subarachnoid hemorrhage with fatal outcome. The macroscopic and microscopic autopsy findings are described. A review of the literature with a discussion of the varied predisposing factors for vertebral artery dissection and subarachnoid hemorrhage and the rarity of these events in pregnancy is provided.
