Hepatic teratoma is an extremely rare tumour. Since 1898 only 28 cases of hepatic teratoma have been reported in the literature, including 21 in pediatrics. The diagnosis is often confirmed by the anatomopathological study and the therapeutic approach is multidisciplinary based essentially on surgery. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with a history of ductal carcinoma of the right breast for which she underwent surgery. The patient presented with pain in the right hypochondrium, a diagnosis of hydatid cyst of the liver was made based on a cystic image of the right liver on ultrasound. It showed a heterogeneous thin-walled cystic image in the right liver suggesting a type IV hydatid cyst. The MRI was in favor of a fluid lesion of the hepatic dome evoking a remodeled hydatid cyst. During surgery, the liver was found of normal size and segment VIII is the seat of an oval formation 70/60 mm in diameter. A resection of the cystic formation with a closed cyst was performed. Histological analysis concluded with the diagnosis of mature teratoma with no signs of malignancy. After a follow-up of 12 years, the patient is in good health and without recurrence.

Small bowel lymphoma associated with celiac disease is rare. The annual incidence varies from 0.5 to 1 per million inhabitants. We report two cases of small bowel lymphoma associated with celiac disease. The first case is a 50-year-old patient, treated for celiac disease since 2010 and whose tumor was revealed on abdominal CT as part of the etiological assessment of abdominal pain with an anemic syndrome. In the other case, it was a 52-year-old patient presenting the same symptomatology, in whom endoscopy revealed total villous atrophy, indicating the diagnosis of celiac disease, and CT showed a small bowel tumor. Both patients underwent segmental resection with single-stage anastomosis. The anatomopathological study concluded to a small lymphoma. Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered in both cases, and their evolution was favorable.

Duodenal adenocarcinoma being the most common tumor of the small intestine: 33 to 48%, it remains very rare representing only 0.5% of malignant tumors of the digestive tract. Our retrospective study focused on four cases during the period 2017-2022 with an average age of 53.25 years and a sex ratio of 1M/3F. The clinical signs were varied with a predominance of cholestatic jaundice and a deterioration in general condition. The diagnosis was confirmed thanks to the endoscopy and the anatomopathological study of the biopsies carried out in all our patients. All our patients benefited from a surgical treatment, curative or palliative, which consisted of three cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy and in one case a gastro-jejunal anastomosis. The post-operative follow-up was simple in two patients, one of our patients presented with gastroparesis which progressed well under medical treatment. In addition, we deplore a death which presented a hemoperitoneum related to a hemostasis disorder.

Background: Ankylosing spondylitis can lead to heart disease, including aortic incompetence, conduction defects, mitral valve disease, cardiomyopathy, and pericarditis. Early detection of cardiac abnormalities is crucial for effective treatment and prognosis, as they increase with age, disease duration, and peripheral arthritis presence. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the type, prevalence, and extent of cardiac involvement in patients diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. Methods: The study were collected in the Department of Medicine and Rheumatology units of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University and Dhaka Medical College Hospital from January 2022 to December 2022. Diagnosis was established based on clinical features, physical examinations, and relevant laboratory and imaging studies. Patients with a history of rheumatic fever, syphilis, or those who declined participation were excluded from the study. Results: A total of 80 patients with ankylosing spondylitis underwent clinical examination, electrocardiography, and echocardiography to assess cardiac involvement. Among the participants, eight patients (10%) were found to have aortic insufficiency. Two patients had both aortic insufficiency and first-degree heart block, one had only first-degree heart block, and one had mitral insufficiency. Presents the cardiovascular manifestations detected in 12 patients (14%) with ankylosing spondylitis. Peripheral arthritis was present in 64% of the 12 patients with cardiovascular lesions, compared to only 34% of the 68 patients without such lesions. Conclusion: This hospital-based observational study investigated cardiac involvement in ankylosing spondylitis patients. Due to the small sample size, definitive conclusions were difficult to make, but the findings suggest that cardiac involvement is relatively common, emphasizing the need for early detection of cardiac abnormalities for effective treatment and prognosis.

Objectives: The main objective of this work is to determine the factors affecting the failure rate of pancreatic aspiration cytology, in particular the size, location, and nature of the mass as well as the size of the needle, the aspiration site, the number of passages, and realization of Fanning. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study conducted in the EFD-HGE department at Ibn Sina Hospital in Rabat from March 2017 to May 2023. 138 patients with a solid or cystic pancreatic mass on imaging were included. A video-linear Pentax-type echoendoscope was used with needles of different gauges: 19G, 20G, 22G, and 25G. Statistical analysis was performed using R software and the level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The sex ratio F/M was 1.35. The average age was 59 years old. The average tumor size was 40.5 mm. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) under ultrasound-endoscopy (EUS) was positive in 70% of cases: adenocarcinoma in 60% of cases, chronic pancreatitis in 9.33% of cases, neuroendocrine tumor in 8% of cases, solid and pseudo-papillary tumor of the pancreas in 4% of cases, mucinous cystadenoma with low-grade (LGD) in 1.33% of the cases, an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) in 2.66% of the cases, pancreatic tuberculosis in 1.33% of the cases. Normal pancreatic parenchyma without signs of malignancy in 13.33% of the cases. The failure rate of pancreatic fine-needle aspiration was estimated at 30% of cases (inconclusive result). By univariate analysis, we demonstrated that the risk of having an inconclusive fine needle aspiration increases on the one hand by the location of the mass at the head of the pancreas (p = 0.02), the presence of a cystic component (p = 0.01), the infiltrating character of the mass (p = 0.01), and on the other hand by the absence of Fanning (p = 0.03). However, this study did not show a significant correlation with the other factors, in particular the size of the mass, the size of the needle, the site of fine-needle aspiration, and the number of passages. No complications were noted. Conclusion: The failure rate of fine-needle aspiration biopsy was 30%. We demonstrated that it increases by the location of the mass at the head of the pancreas (p = 0.02), the presence of a cystic component (p = 0.01), the infiltrating character of the mass (p = 0.01), and the absence of fanning. An additional study with a larger sample or a multicenter study seems necessary to confirm our results.

Background/aim: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is an alternative treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are considered high-risk for surgery. Determine the anxiety levels of patients, who will undergo TAVI surgery, and factors affecting anxiety in the pre- and postoperative period. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Sifa hospital in Izmir, Turkey between September 2014 and June 2015. Data were collected in the cardiology outpatient clinic for preoperative data, and in the coronary intensive care unit and cardiology outpatient clinic for postoperative data. The data were collected by interviewing patients who presented with aortic stenosis or aortic insufficiency and underwent TAVI surgery. Stress status of the patients before and after TAVI was measured with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Results: The mean age of 34 patients participating in the study was 78.21(±6.67), and 61.8 % of the patients were women. The mean state anxiety scores of all patients were 45.5(±12.1) before the surgery, 36.4(±10.6) after the surgery. The anxiety experienced before the operation was moderate to high; and after the operation was lower. Conclusion: The patients were experiencing moderate to high and levels of anxiety. The factors affecting the state anxiety scores in the preoperative period were the age of the patient and the presence of chronic diseases. The factors affecting the stress of the patients in the pre- and post-TAVI period were subjective fear felt due to the stressful situation in the preoperative period were found to be age and the presence of chronic disease.

Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP), also known as Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), is an autoimmune disease that is typically present as a progressive ascending weakness, with subtle or no sensory findings, and reduced or absent deep tendon reflexes. In this case report I am presenting a patient who presented with an atypical clinical feature of AIDP in the form of a descending rather than ascending weakness, highlighting the importance of considering AIDP as a potential diagnosis in such atypical presentations.

Further research, including larger samples among the third gender in Bangladesh, is essential for robust decision-making and increased awareness.","PeriodicalId":21442,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Medicine & Medical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76262239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) is a rare disorder in children and it is more exceptional in adults. PIL is caused by a diffuse or localized dilatation and/or rupture of intestinal lymphatic vessels in the mucosa, submucosa, or subserosa due to high pressure in lymphatic vessels. The diagnosis is made on clinical grounds with the support of small bowel biopsies. The following report present a case of intestinal lymphangiectasia revealed by capsule endoscopy examination. This work shows that standard EGD and colonoscopy may miss characteristic lesions of PIL, and capsule endoscopy (or enteroscopy) may be required for the diagnosis because lesions are typically located in distal duodenum/jejunoileum.

Malaria remains a significant public health concern, particularly among pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa. Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) have been recognized as an effective preventive measure against malaria transmission. However, the utilization of LLINs among pregnant women remains suboptimal. This study aimed to assess the level of daily LLIN utilization and identify its predictors among pregnant women receiving antenatal care in a tertiary healthcare centre in Southern Nigeria. A cross-sectional study was conducted among antenatal recipients at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital in Uyo, AkwaIbom State. A total of 323 respondents were recruited for the study. Data were collected using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of daily LLIN usage. One hundred and twenty seven (39.3%) of the respondents had ever slept inside a LLIN during the index pregnancy, while 22.6% reported daily usage. LLIN ownership was reported by 47.7% of the respondents, highlighting a discrepancy between ownership and consistent use. Predictors of daily LLIN usage included LLIN ownership (aOR 3.83, 95% CI 1.95-7.48), absence of discomfort during LLIN use (aOR 9.33,95%CI 4.32-20.17), non-use of other malaria preventive measures (aOR 3.7,95% CI 11.51-8.93) and presence of mosquitoes in home dwelling (aOR 3.56 95%CI 1.35-9.37). Health education campaigns should emphasize the benefits of daily LLIN usage during pregnancy. Policy interventions are warranted to increase LLIN distribution and availability to pregnant women through antenatal care clinics.
