Background: Massive pulmonary embolism is a life-threatening emergency associated with high mortality if prompt diagnosis and urgent intervention is delayed, especially in patients presenting in obstructive shock. It usually requires advanced therapies such as systemic thrombolysis, pharmaco-mechanical catheter-directed therapy, surgical embolectomy and inferior vena cava filter placement. The dearth in skilled manpower, delay in diagnosis, relative unavailability and high cost of fibrinolytics especially in resource poor environments may account for poor clinical outcomes and eventually death in such patients. Case Presentation: We present a 50-year-old Nigerian woman of Bahumono ethnicity who was admitted into our hospital with complains of sudden onset breathlessness. On presentation, she was tachypneic, tachycardic and hypotensive. D-Dimer and Troponin I levels were elevated. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) with intravenous contrast confirmed the diagnosis of massive pulmonary embolism. She was initially treated with low molecular weight heparin, then thrombolyzed with intravenous alteplase and later discharged on tablet dabigatran. Her symptoms had resolved at the time of discharge and she has remained stable for over 3 months. Conclusion: Pulmonary embolism, the most serious clinical presentation of venous thromboembolism can become catastrophic when it presents as the massive type. Prompt diagnosis and urgent appropriate medical intervention ensures good clinical outcomes.

Endocarditis originating from a prior venous cannulation site is undescribed in the current literature. Infections of the heart pose significant morbidity and mortality to patients, therefore prompt recognition, diagnosis, and treatment are critical. Our patient underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and developed a postoperative sternal wound infection with methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). After failing nonoperative management, redo-sternotomy was performed with atrial wall debridement and patch repair. During this procedure, two unexpected small discrete abscess pockets of the right atrial epicardium were discovered. One of the abscess pockets fistulized into the right atrium and was noted to be at his prior venous cannulation site for cardiopulmonary bypass as evidenced by neighboring prolene suture. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged home on postoperative day 7. Transthoracic echo was obtained 6 weeks after his second operation and did not show any recurrence of endocarditis. We present a unique case of persistent cardiac infection with a complicated course and management strategy.

The aim of this report is to present a clinical case of oral lichenoid lesions (OLL) associated with amalgam and various metal restorations, including palladium, mercury, and gold. The patient presented with symptoms and lesions consistent with OLL, and the diagnosis was confirmed through a synthesis of the patient's medical history, clinical examination, histopathological analysis, and direct immunofluorescence. Oral lichenoid lesions are a group of disorders characterized by lesions that resemble oral lichen planus but are caused by a hypersensitivity reaction to certain substances, such as dental materials. In this case, the amalgam and metal restorations were suspected to be the triggering factors for the lichenoid lesions. The histopathological analysis revealed findings consistent with OLL, further supporting the diagnosis. Additionally, direct immunofluorescence testing provided additional evidence for the presence of OLL. The combination of these diagnostic approaches allowed for a comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition. As

Joint related gunshot injuries encompass significant morbidity if left untreated. Open and arthroscopic procedures are the main stay treatment for removal of foreign body. Nevertheless, there is no definitive management due to the scarcity of cases in the literature. We report the case of a white Arab 38-years-old man with a high velocity gunshot wound leading to bullet dislodgement in the left glenohumeral joint. The patient’s wound was treated with arthroscopy, extensive debridement, and decompression of subacromial space with partial acromioplasty.

Guidelines for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) management include sedation, neuromuscular blockade for protective ventilation and the need for the prone position. This technique can lead to neurologic sequelae like the Tapia syndrome following the patient position. We reported two ARDS COVD-19 patients with Tapia syndrome due to prone position. Both patients, a white European 57 year-old female and a Black African 50 year-old male, were intensive care unit (ICU) admitted for ARDS due to COVID-19. They were orotracheal intubated and mechanical ventilated for respectively 23 and 68 days with 7 and 4 sessions of prone position. Both were tracheotomized during their ICU stay. We observed during the respiratory weaning, swallowing difficulties associated with a tongue deviation during protusion and paralysis of the ipsilateral vocal cord suggesting a Tapia syndrome. Prone position for the treatment of hypoxic ARDS COVID-19 patients with lateral flexion of the head could induce a compression on the lower cranial nerves and their collateral branches and lead to the Tapia syndrome with long neurologic sequelae: swallowing disorder, dysarthria and dysphagia due to difficulty to move the tongue with paralysis of the vocal cord. Because mechanical ventilation on prone position is a cornerstone of the treatment of hypoxic COVID-19 patients, the number of patients with Tapia syndrome may increase in the future.

Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by a triad of capillary malformation with port-wine stain, varicose veins, or venous malformation of the lower limbs, and bony and soft tissue hypertrophy. In this case report, we present the case of a 47-year-old woman who was diagnosed with KTS in her left lower limb at the age of 22. She was admitted to the Hip Group Ambulatory at the Hospital das Clinicas of Sao Paulo, Brazil, due to osteoarthritis in her left hip joint caused by KTS. The patient suffered a Garden 4 left femoral neck fracture after falling from a standing position. Based on imaging, physical examination, and vascular evaluation, our initial surgical plan was Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) with bone graft and acetabular cage via the posterior approach. However, due to significant blood loss, hemodynamic instability, and the presence of large vessels close to the acetabulum, we decided to abort the initial plan of THA and instead opted for Resection Arthroplasty of Girdlestone. KTS is a challenge for orthopedic surgeons and requires a multidisciplinary evaluation. Patients with KTS who undergo THA require a radiologic study of malformations to choose an appropriate surgical approach, despite the high risk of bleeding.

Introduction: Several studies identified high prevalence of anxiety, stress, and depression for health students, including paramedic students. For this reason, the health students’ well-being represents a public health issue. To improve this situation, we need to develop interventions at the beginning of health studies. The implementation of occasional and/or regular well-being promotion interventions meets a real need for many of health students. Objectives of this study: We aim to assess a well-being promotion intervention among paramedic students in Le Havre (France). Methods and analysis: This is a protocol of monocentric quasi-experimental study designed to assess the impact of the intervention on well-being, resilience, self-esteem, and stress among paramedic students throw validated scales distributed before the intervention and 8 months after. Students’ satisfaction will be assessed through a questionnaire. A first analysis will describe the study population. The comparison of average scores will be performed. The results of satisfaction questionnaire will allow evolving the intervention to best meet the needs of students next year. Discussion: The scientific publications on this theme will enrich the literature and contribute to the integration of this approach of well-being promotion nationally and internationally. The expected benefits from this study are the adoption of a healthy lifestyle, the improvement of students’ well-being and their awareness of the importance of health promotion in patients’ care. Ethics and dissemination: The project received ethical approval from the Research Ethics Board of Le Havre Hospital. The results will be disseminated via scientific publications and conference presentations.
