Essential thrombocythemia is a hematological problem that occurs during pregnancy. Diagnosis of essential thrombocythemia is difficult because it is a diagnosis of exclusion and there is a higher frequency of thrombocythemia due to other causes. A 26-year-old female patient with G1P0000 gestational weeks 30–31 came to the gynecology clinic after laboratory examination with thrombocyte count of 1,128,000 μL. There were no complaints of dizziness, nausea, vomiting, tingling, or fever. She was fatigue with compos mentis consciousness, with blood pressure 110/70 mmHg, heart rate 85 times/minute, respiratory rate 20 times/minute, and temperature 36.5 °C. Head to toe examination was within normal limits. An obstetric status examination was obtained. Fundal height: 3 fingers below the xiphoid process (31 cm, with estimation fetal weight by McD formula 2945 grams) and fetal heart rate 134 times/minute. Blood smear shows leukocytosis and thrombocythemia suspected myeloproliferative disorder (MPD), an essential thrombocythemia. She was tested for the JAK2V617F mutation but no mutation was detected. Doppler ultrasound test shows umbilical artery (RI: 0.69; PI: 0.95; S/D ratio: 2.76) and middle cerebral artery (RI: 0.74; PI: 1.48; S/D ratio 3.88). She was consulted to hematooncologist and was given aspirin 80 mg per day, Cal-95 1 tablet per day, and prenatal vitamins. Evaluation of patients with essential thrombocythemia includes a complete blood count, bone marrow biopsy, and genetic testing to evaluate gene mutations to obtain the appropriate diagnosis and therapy to prevent from its complication such as thrombosis during pregnancy, bleeding during pregnancy, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, prematurity, placental abruption, intrauterine growth retardation and stillbirth.

The prevalence of coronary artery anomalies has been detected in 0.6% to 1.5% of coronary angiography. They are found since birth but usually with no significant symptoms and it does not generally manifest as myocardial ischemia however, malignant outcomes have been reported. Single coronary arteries are rare congenital anomalies in which the entire circulation for the heart is supplied by a coronary artery originating from a single ostium. It is challenging to recognize the anomaly of the patient’s coronaries, experiencing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure, undergoing coronary artery surgery, or receiving a prosthetic valve replacement. In our case, we document a patient who underwent PCI for multi-vessel coronary lesions and in whom the atypical origin of the single left coronary artery, with the right coronary artery (RCA) emerging from the distal left circumflex artery (LCX), which was previously undetected.

Amongst the significant advances in current medicine, the successful transplantation of organs is undoubtedly of particular social interest. However, the increase in patients on waiting lists, as well as the consistent and sometimes frequent mortality of those patients, hoping for an organ that, unfortunately, will not arrive, has caused a health crisis called the “organ shortage”. This severe health emergency requires a deep analysis of the potential reasons for the social ambivalence toward organ donation, particularly in the case of the death of a loved one. The possibility that misinformation and the lack of public knowledge are fundamental barriers to consent requires an analysis of the current educational programs with the aim of improving the awareness of the general population. Negative consent to donation is particularly frequent in cases of the death of a loved one. Considering the significant social importance of consent, mainly in the case of deceased donors, the review of social programs should prioritize all the potential alternatives to improve people’s acknowledgment of the organ shortage crisis. New proposals, which might create further doubt and produce complex reactions at all levels of society, should be presented correctly in transplantation program reviews. Every proposal requires a didactic discussion by experts in social sciences on people’s consent in the case of deceased organ donation.

The resistance of microorganisms present in the root canal system is a problem associated with the failure of endodontic treatments. Therefore, the search for treatments based on herbal extracts has been an alternative to prevent persistent endodontic infections. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of cashew nut shell liquid extract (E-CNSL) against Enterococcus faecalis strains. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated using the agar well diffusion method. Petri dishes containing Mueller Hinton agar were inoculated on the surface by the microorganism using a swab, then 20 μL of the E-CNSL solution at concentrations of 500 μg/mL and 1000 μg/mL was aseptically deposited in the wells of the inoculated media. The plates were incubated at 37 °C for 24 hours. All the strains studied showed an inhibition halo ≥6 mm at both concentrations of the extract. Therefore, the extract of cashew nut shell liquid (A. occidentale) showed a potential antimicrobial effect against E. faecalis strains.

Meningiomas are benign tumors dependent on arachnoid cells. Localization to the foramen magnum is rare and represents a surgical challenge. Surgical planning is crucial to choose an optimal approach and to avoid morbidity. We report a case of anterolateral meningioma of the craniocervical junction in a 49-year-old female patient with complaints of progressive weakness of the right arm for the past 6 months. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an extramedullary intradural tumor with dural insertion regarding the body of C1 vertebrae. The patient underwent surgery via suboccipital approach with a C1 laminectomy and a Simpson grade 2 resection was performed. The patient improved postoperatively and returned to her daily activities. We perform a literature review to discuss the considerations for the optimal surgical strategy for the approach of foramen magnum meningiomas.

The myelomeningocele, is a serious pathology with heavy consequences putting at stake the vital prognosis of the child, it is a congenital malformation resulting from a defect of closure of the neural tube. We report the case of a 25 days old newborn, in whom the antenatal diagnosis of myelomeningocele was confirmed by morphological ultrasound. The particularity of our case is the very low age of intervention as the enormous size of the myelomeningocele. Many congenital malformations of the central nervous system can be associated with this pathology going from the malformation of Arnold Chiari to the heterotopia, the discovery of this malformation imposes a complete malformative assessment, and a medical-surgical management. The main postoperative risk is the sepsis which is all the more serious and mortal that the age is young of the child at the time of the intervention.

Introduction: Telemedicine is an innovative solution that enables the remote care of patients through digital technology. This method is particularly interesting for nursing homes (EHPAD) that accommodate often frail elderly individuals requiring constant medical monitoring. The aim of this thesis is to verify the relevance of telemedicine as a tool for teleconsultation and tele-expertise within nursing homes. Objectives: To determine whether telemedicine can be considered an effective means for teleconsultation and tele-expertise within nursing homes. The secondary objective is to assess the implementation of telemedicine in these establishments, and the skills and obstacles of the caregiving teams regarding the use of telemedicine. Results: Numerous nursing homes lack the necessary equipment and human resources for telemedicine. However, the implementation of a concerted medical project, adequate support, and training, as well as enhanced communication among stakeholders, can promote the development of telemedicine as a tool to improve the quality of care for the elderly in nursing homes. Conclusion: Telemedicine can be a relevant solution for enhancing the medical care of the elderly in nursing homes, but its application is limited by a lack of specialized equipment and human resources. To address these gaps, it is recommended to establish concerted medical projects, improve training and practices, enhance communication among stakeholders, and reconsider logistics. These recommendations could enable better adoption and utilization of telemedicine in nursing homes, thereby benefiting patients, caregivers, and establishment management.

This study was conducted in Sadar upazila at Dinajpur district and Ejab Alliance Limited at Thakurgaon district of Bangladesh from March 2017 to February 2018 to investigate the frozen semen quality and conception rate in cow. Total 60 frozen semen straw were collected from six different companies (CCBDF, Ejab, AD, DAIC, Lal-Teer and BRAC) at first week of every month and subsequently up to next ten months. Straw was collected from the dealer of different companies at Upazilla Veterinary Hospital, VTH-HSTU, Dinajpur and Ejab Alliance Limited Breeding Station, Thakurgaon. Then the straw was kept in liquid nitrogen cane and transfer to the laboratory of Ejab Alliance Limited for evaluation. The frozen semen straws were thawed at 35-37˚C for 60 seconds and pooled. The post-thaw motility and morphology of spermatozoa were compared and recorded among different season, preservation time, companies and area. Post-thaw motility and number of normal spermatozoa slightly varied on preservation time. Higher motility and number of normal spermatozoa were 73±0.00 and 83±0.75 found in winter season but lowest in summer season and that was 73±0.40 and 82.2±0.47, respectively. The motility and number of normal spermatozoa of BRAC semen were 75±2.27 and 84±1.77 and the values was higher among other companies with lowest in Lal-Teer which were 72±1.61 and 79±3.52, respectively. The conception rate was statistically higher (p<0.05) in winter (65%) season, 6 months’ storage duration (66%), using BRAC semen (76.5%) and at the area of sadar, Dinajpur (62%). The conception rate was somewhat lower in summer (60%) season, 10 months of duration (62%) using Lal-Teer (53.2%) semen and at the area of Ejab Alliance Ltd. (57%) Thakurgaon.

To diagnose cases involving pancytopenia or leukopenia, a comprehensive assessment of various factors is necessary, including blood count, peripheral blood, and bone marrow analysis, immunophenotyping, and cytogenetics. This study aims to examine the complete blood count parameters and CD markers in Sudanese patients with leukemia and pancytopenia, utilizing flow cytometry and ELISA techniques. This study is a laboratory-based addressing the assessment of the target population (acute Leukaemia with pancytopenia) by complete blood count, flow cytometry, and ELISA techniques. The research group was comprised of patients who were diagnosed with acute leukemia and had pancytopenia before undergoing treatment. Another group of patients with acute leukemia but without pancytopenia was also included. In addition, there was a control group consisting of healthy individuals who volunteered for the study. Essentially, the control group was made up of healthy individuals who were not affected by acute leukemia or pancytopenia. In our study, we enrolled a total of 150 participants, comprising three groups: 50 cases of acute leukemia, 50 patients with acute leukemia who subsequently developed pancytopenia, and 50 healthy volunteers. The majority of participants were female, constituting 56% of the sample (84 individuals), while the most prevalent age group represented was individuals aged 65, accounting for 43.3% of the participants. Our analysis revealed a statistically significant correlation between age and both leukemia and leukemia with pancytopenia, with a p-value of 0.00. Furthermore, the presence of either AML or ALL also exhibited a substantial association with the disease, indicated by a p-value of 0.00. Specifically, the use of a flow cytometer allowed us to identify the presence of CD3 with a p-value of 0.00 and CD4 with a slightly higher p-value of 0.04. Improvement of patient management by introducing effective tools for predicting prognosis is the key to success in managing diseases. We recommend that flowcytometry be used routinely to diagnose leukemia and leukemia with cytopenia in patients at all stages of the disease.
