Central nervous system (CNS) toxoplasmosis is one of the leading causes of secondary CNS infection and seizures in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients along with cryptococcosis and tuberculosis. Encephalitis can be a primary presentation in undiagnosed HIV patients. We are reporting a rare case of HIV/AIDS that presented to us with encephalitis and was later diagnosed as toxoplasma encephalitis. A 32-year-old male truck driver presented with altered behaviour for about 1 month and vomiting for 4 days. On clinical examination, papilloedema was present. Further investigations revealed serologically proven HIV with CD4 T lymphocyte count of 56 cells/microL. Brain imaging showed multiple ring-enhancing lesions in the bilateral cerebral hemispheres and right cerebellar hemisphere. Serum toxoplasma antibodies were found to be positive and a diagnosis of CNS toxoplasmosis encephalitis was made. Treatment with trimethoprim–sulphamethoxazole and highly active antiretroviral therapy was initiated following which there was a significant improvement in the patient's clinical condition. The patient is on regular follow-up now.
中枢神经系统(CNS)弓形虫病是人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)/获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)患者继发性中枢神经系统感染和癫痫发作的主要原因之一,此外还有隐球菌病和结核病。脑炎可能是未确诊的HIV患者的主要表现。我们报告一例罕见的艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者,其表现为脑炎,后来被诊断为弓形虫脑炎。一名32岁男性卡车司机表现为行为改变约1个月,呕吐4天。临床检查显示乳头状水肿。进一步的血清学调查显示CD4 T淋巴细胞计数为56个细胞/微升。脑显像显示双侧大脑半球及右侧小脑半球多发环形强化病灶。血清弓形虫抗体阳性,诊断为中枢神经系统弓形虫病脑炎。随后开始使用甲氧苄氨嘧啶-磺胺甲恶唑和高效抗逆转录病毒治疗,患者的临床状况有显著改善。病人现在正在接受定期随访。

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the eighth-most frequent cause of cancer mortality in India. The staging system most often used for treatment decisions in India is the Barcelona clinic liver cancer (BCLC) system. However, this staging system is often criticised for several reasons, such as heterogeneity of patient prognosis in each BCLC stage, limited guidance on expanding the role of liver transplantation (LT), no recommendation on combination therapies, no guidance on downstaging and limited treatment options for late presenters (stages C or D). Hence, we propose a simplified five-step algorithm for making treatment decisions for HCC patients in India. This algorithm incorporates evidence-based treatment allocations based on the step-by-step assessment of major prognostic and treatment-related parameters. The five steps of the algorithm are – Step 1: assessment of performance status, Step 2: assessment of extrahepatic spread and macrovascular invasion, Step 3: assessment for living donor LT, Step 4: assessment for the eligibility of liver resection and Step 5: assessment for appropriate locoregional therapy. Each of these steps does not require any separate investigations, and the initial workup for the diagnosis of HCC (dynamic computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging and routine laboratory tests) would suffice in this five-step algorithm. We hope that this algorithm will not only simplify the management approach to HCC patients in India, but also it will bring uniformity in the treatment protocol for HCC in India.
肝细胞癌(HCC)是印度第八大最常见的癌症死亡原因。在印度,最常用于治疗决策的分期系统是巴塞罗那临床肝癌(BCLC)系统。然而,这种分期系统经常因为几个原因而受到批评,例如每个BCLC阶段患者预后的异质性,扩大肝移植(LT)作用的指导有限,没有联合治疗的建议,没有降低分期的指导以及晚期患者(C期或D期)的治疗选择有限。因此,我们提出了一种简化的五步算法,用于制定印度HCC患者的治疗决策。该算法结合了基于逐步评估主要预后和治疗相关参数的循证治疗分配。该算法的五个步骤是:步骤1:评估表现状态,步骤2:评估肝外扩散和大血管侵犯,步骤3:评估活体供体肝移植,步骤4:评估肝脏切除的资格,步骤5:评估适当的局部治疗。这些步骤中的每一步都不需要任何单独的调查,HCC诊断的初始检查(动态计算机断层扫描/磁共振成像和常规实验室检查)在这个五步算法中就足够了。我们希望该算法不仅能简化印度HCC患者的管理方法,而且能带来印度HCC治疗方案的统一性。

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a disorder of pregnancy with a worldwide prevalence of about 5-8% and 4.6% in India. It is the second leading cause of direct maternal and foetal adverse outcomes, resulting in about 50,000-60,000 deaths annually worldwide. Cortisol is a stress hormone, that suppresses the immune system and inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory substances to reduce inflammation. During pregnancy cortisol levels raise to three-fold of nonpregnant level by the third trimester, it is due to changes in HPA axis regulation, raised oestrogen levels and raised maternal CRH levels through placental secretion. Aims: The objective of this study is to evaluate the cortisol (CORT)-to-highly sensitive C-reactive protein (HS-CRP) ratio and glucocorticoid receptor resistance (GCR) in early pregnancy to understand the pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia (PE) and to test whether these parameters have a role in the prediction of PE. CO + RT: HS-CRP ratio evaluates the interrelationship between the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA-axis) and the inflammatory response system. It is a new concept and an integrated approach to understand the pathophysiology of PE. Materials and Methods: In this prospective case–control study, we recruited 250 healthy pregnant women at 11–14 weeks of pregnancy and followed them. Those who developed PE after the 20th week according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists guidelines were considered study participants and the remaining served as controls. CORT was estimated through the ELISA method and HS-CRP was measured by autoanalyser through the turbidimetric method. The CORT-to-HS-CRP ratio was calculated manually. GCR was measured indirectly through leucocytes subsets, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and neutrophil-to-monocyte ratio (NMR); individual leucocytes were obtained from complete blood counts. Data were analysed using the SPSS version 20, Pearson's correlation test was used to correlate the results and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) was used to test the predictive capacity of parameters. Results: Low CORT: HS-CRP was associated with PE, having a significance of P < 0.00, but it did not show any specificity and sensitivity under ROC. NLR and NMR were elevated in cases who developed PE, especially NMR with P < 0.008. NMR showed good specificity and sensitivity under ROC with the area under curve 0.74, cutoff value is 23. Conclusion: Low CORT: HS-CRP ratio has an association with PE, the uncontrolled inflammation during early pregnancy in pregnant women who were destined to develop PE. This is due to low-CORT secretion due to dysregulation of the HPA-axis. GCR also has an association with PE, but it was not fully clarified. HS-CRP and NMR can be used to screen in early pregnancy for the prediction of PE.
背景:先兆子痫(PE)是一种妊娠疾病,全球患病率约为5-8%,印度为4.6%。它是造成孕产妇和胎儿直接不良后果的第二大主要原因,每年在全世界造成约5万至6万人死亡。皮质醇是一种应激激素,可以抑制免疫系统,抑制促炎物质的产生,从而减少炎症。在妊娠晚期,皮质醇水平升高到非妊娠水平的三倍,这是由于HPA轴调节的改变,雌激素水平升高,胎盘分泌导致母体CRH水平升高。目的:本研究的目的是评估妊娠早期皮质醇(CORT)与高敏感c反应蛋白(HS-CRP)比值及糖皮质激素受体抵抗(GCR),以了解先兆子痫(PE)的病理生理,并检验这些参数是否具有预测PE的作用。CO + RT: HS-CRP比值评价下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴(hpa -轴)与炎症反应系统的相互关系。这是一个全新的概念,也是理解肺脏病理生理的一个综合途径。材料与方法:在这项前瞻性病例对照研究中,我们招募了250名怀孕11-14周的健康孕妇进行随访。根据美国妇产科医师学会的指导方针,那些在20周后发生PE的人被认为是研究参与者,其余的人作为对照。采用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)测定CORT,采用自动分析仪浊度法测定HS-CRP。人工计算cort与hs - crp比值。GCR通过白细胞亚群、中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR)和中性粒细胞与单核细胞比值(NMR)间接测定;从全血细胞计数中获得单个白细胞。采用SPSS version 20对数据进行分析,采用Pearson相关检验对结果进行相关性分析,采用receiver operator characteristic (ROC)检验参数的预测能力。结果:低CORT: HS-CRP与PE相关,P < 0.00,但在ROC下无特异性和敏感性。发生PE的患者NLR和NMR升高,其中NMR升高幅度最大(P < 0.008)。NMR在ROC下具有良好的特异度和敏感性,曲线下面积为0.74,截止值为23。结论:低CORT: HS-CRP比值与PE、妊娠早期未控制的PE相关。这是由于hpa轴失调导致的低cort分泌。GCR也与PE有关,但尚未完全阐明。HS-CRP和NMR可用于妊娠早期筛查,预测PE的发生。

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystemic and chronic autoimmune disease with varying clinical manifestations. The role of various infectious agents in triggering the disease onset in genetically predisposed patients has been implicated in the pathogenesis of SLE. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has been reported to trigger various autoimmune diseases including SLE in few adults. Herein, we report the case of a previously well 12-year-old girl who presented with warm antibody Coombs-positive autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, 3 weeks after testing positive for COVID-19. COVID IgG antibody test was positive. During the hospital stay, she developed multisystem involvement in the form of neurological manifestations and arthritis. She was managed with steroids, intravenous (IV) immunoglobulins and supportive measures. Her anti-nuclear antibody and anti-dsDNA antibodies were positive and complement levels were low, confirming a diagnosis of SLE. Her clinical condition improved rapidly and remained neurologically normal, and serial haemoglobin showed an improving trend. IV steroids were changed to oral form, and hydroxychloroquine was also added. She remained well on 3-week follow-up.
系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)是一种临床表现多样的多系统慢性自身免疫性疾病。在遗传易感患者中,各种感染因子在触发疾病发作中的作用与SLE的发病机制有关。据报道,严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2可引发多种自身免疫性疾病,包括少数成年人的SLE。在此,我们报告了一名之前身体健康的12岁女孩,在COVID-19检测呈阳性3周后出现温热抗体库姆斯阳性自身免疫性溶血性贫血。COVID - IgG抗体检测阳性。在住院期间,她出现多系统受累,表现为神经系统表现和关节炎。给予类固醇、静脉注射免疫球蛋白和支持措施。她的抗核抗体和抗dsdna抗体呈阳性,补体水平低,确诊为SLE。患者的临床状况迅速改善,神经功能正常,系列血红蛋白呈改善趋势。静脉注射类固醇改为口服,并加入羟氯喹。在3周的随访中,她保持良好。

Solitary neurofibroma of the psoas muscle: An unusual location 腰肌孤立性神经纤维瘤:一个不寻常的位置
Pub Date : 2022-09-01 DOI: 10.4103/cmrp.cmrp_32_22

Neurofibroma is a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumour usually present on superficial tissues of the head and trunk. Retroperitoneal location is extremely rare for neurofibroma and comprises only 1% of all retroperitoneal tumours. It can be solitary or associated with the genetic disorder, von Recklinghausen's disease or neurofibromatosis type-1. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard modality for imaging retroperitoneal tumours because it provides a better definition and specificity in the evaluation of the location, extension, and composition of the lesion. Here, we report the case of a 30-year-old man affected by retroperitoneal solitary neurofibroma of the psoas muscle, but not associated with von Recklinghausen's disease. MRI showed a well-defined lobulated retroperitoneal lesion noted within the right psoas muscle. Complete surgical excision of the tumour was performed, and the diagnosis of neurofibroma was made through histological and immunohistochemical examination.
神经纤维瘤是一种良性周围神经鞘肿瘤,通常出现在头部和躯干的浅表组织。神经纤维瘤位于腹膜后极为罕见,仅占所有腹膜后肿瘤的1%。它可能是孤立的,也可能与遗传疾病、冯·雷克林豪森病或1型神经纤维瘤病有关。磁共振成像(MRI)是腹膜后肿瘤成像的金标准方式,因为它在评估病变的位置、范围和组成方面提供了更好的定义和特异性。在这里,我们报告一例30岁的男性腹膜后孤立性腰肌神经纤维瘤,但与von Recklinghausen病无关。MRI显示右侧腰肌腹膜后可见明确的分叶状病变。手术完全切除肿瘤,并通过组织学和免疫组织化学检查诊断为神经纤维瘤。

Hypertension remains one of the most significant causes of mortality, affecting more than 1 billion people worldwide. It is a significant public health concern and a major risk factor for renal disease, heart failure, stroke, coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease. In more than 90% of hypertensive patients, the cause of blood pressure elevation is unknown. Therefore, early diagnosis and timely interventions are crucial to prevent complications. Over the last four decades, various blood biomarkers have been identified, which can help in understanding the cause of the underlying processes involved in the onset, development and progression of hypertension (HT). It is our attempt, in this review, to suggest a more robust use of circulating biomarkers that may prove to be beneficial in better elucidating the pathophysiology, development, progression and therapeutic efficacy in the management of HT.
高血压仍然是最重要的死亡原因之一,影响着全世界超过10亿人。它是一个重大的公共卫生问题,也是肾脏疾病、心力衰竭、中风、冠状动脉疾病和周围血管疾病的主要危险因素。在90%以上的高血压患者中,血压升高的原因不明。因此,早期诊断和及时干预对于预防并发症至关重要。在过去的四十年中,各种血液生物标志物已经被确定,这可以帮助理解高血压(HT)发生、发展和进展的潜在过程的原因。在这篇综述中,我们试图建议更有力地使用循环生物标志物,这可能有助于更好地阐明HT的病理生理、发展、进展和治疗效果。
