: A common neurological condition known as epilepsy is characterized by recurrent bouts of uncontrollable body movements that affect only a portion of the body (partial) or the full body (generalized), occasionally accompanied by loss of consciousness and control over bowel or bladder function. Uncontrolled seizures are linked to medical and psychological illness, dependent behavior, a low quality of life, and a higher risk of untimely death. Epilepsy affects people of all ages, ethnicities, sexes, levels of education, socioeconomic status, and social classes worldwide. The prodrome phase is a pre-epileptic feeling or experience that might start hours, days, or even weeks in advance of the actual seizure. The most prevalent prodromal phase symptoms include difficulties maintaining focus, tension, exhaustion, sleep disruptions, behavioral changes (differently smelling, tasting, having ringing in the ears, feeling queasy, etc.), restlessness, and others. The ictal phase defined as spans the interval between the start of a seizure and its conclusion. The phrase "interictal" refers to a phase that occurs between seizures or headaches. "Postictal" refers to the period following a seizure. The duration of postictalphase varies from minutes to hours depending on the type of seizure, the frequency and intensity of seizures, and the length of the seizure.
癫痫是一种常见的神经系统疾病,其特征是反复发作的无法控制的身体运动,仅影响身体的一部分(部分)或全身(全身),偶尔伴有意识丧失和对肠道或膀胱功能的控制。不受控制的癫痫发作与医疗和心理疾病、依赖行为、低生活质量以及过早死亡的高风险有关。癫痫影响全世界所有年龄、种族、性别、教育水平、社会经济地位和社会阶层的人。前驱期是一种癫痫前的感觉或经历,可能在实际发作前数小时、数天甚至数周开始。最常见的前驱期症状包括难以集中注意力、紧张、疲惫、睡眠中断、行为改变(嗅觉、味觉不同、耳鸣、感到恶心等)、不安等。发作期定义为从发作开始到发作结束的这段时间。“间歇期”指的是癫痫发作或头痛之间的一个阶段。“后”指的是癫痫发作后的一段时间。后相的持续时间从几分钟到几小时不等,这取决于癫痫发作的类型、发作的频率和强度以及发作的时间长短。

: Primary intraosseous meningioma is a rare tumor arising commonly from the calvarial bone. Here, we report a case of primary intraosseous meningioma which presented as a Bifrontal skull mass in a 30-year-old woman who presented with a progressive forehead enlargement and headache of 3 years duration. Brain CT shows hyperostosis of the frontal bone and microscopy shows intertrabecular syncytial proliferation of oval to spindle cells at the area forming whorl. Even though it is rare, PIM is the most common subtype of extradural meningioma.

Overcoming Infections Including COVID-19, by Maintaining Circulating 25(OH)D Concentrations Above 50 ng/mL 通过保持循环25(OH)D浓度高于50 ng/mL,克服包括新冠肺炎在内的感染

: The elderly and those with underlying chronic diseases (i.e., comorbidities) such as pulmonary, cardiovascular, metabolic, and renal diseases, increase their susceptibility to sepsis, including COVID-19. The SARS-CoV-2 virus damages pulmonary cells, causing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and hypoxia. It further damages endothelial cells, altering clotting mechanisums causing intravascular hemolysis, microvascular thrombosis, and micro-embolization, contributing to the risk of death. Approximately 75% of the immune system functions of humans depend on vitamin D and the availability of sufficient amounts of vitamin D metabolites [vitamin D and 25(OH)D] concentrations to enter immune cells from the bloodstream. Such concentrations are achievable through sun exposure, targeted food fortification programs, and adequate daily or weekly vitamin D supplements. That would allow for generating 1,25(OH) 2 D (non-hormonal form of calcitriol) intracellularly in peripheral target cells like immune cells. This enables immune cells’ physiological functions, including intracrine/autocrine and paracrine signaling processes. This initiates and maintains robust immune functions, such as forming antibodies and antimicrobial peptides, suppressing inflammation, and increasing the expression of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant genes, thus, strengthening immune functions. The opposite occurs in hypovitaminosis D, increasing vulnerability to infections and dying from it. Therefore, governments should make the population sufficient with immunoceuticals—micronutrients, especially vitamin D, and other micronutrients: the most cost-effective intervention to keep the population healthy. The cost of such interventions are minuscule compared to the expenses related to increased hospitalizations and premature deaths. Supposed such a program was implemented in mid-2020 as the author proposed, we estimated that 50% of hospitalizations (and the associated healthcare costs) and a third of deaths from COVID could have been prevented. Described herein are cost-effective strategies using vitamin D to achieve and sustain serum D 3 and 25(OH)D concentrations crucial for maintaining a robust immune system, improving general health, minimizing disease severities and deaths, and reducing healthcare costs.
老年人和患有肺部、心血管、代谢和肾脏疾病等潜在慢性疾病(即合并症)的人更容易感染败血症,包括COVID-19。SARS-CoV-2病毒破坏肺细胞,引起急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)和缺氧。它进一步损害内皮细胞,改变凝血机制,导致血管内溶血、微血管血栓形成和微栓塞,增加死亡风险。大约75%的人体免疫系统功能依赖于维生素D和足够数量的维生素D代谢物[维生素D和25(OH)D]浓度从血液进入免疫细胞。这样的浓度可以通过阳光照射、有针对性的食物强化计划以及每天或每周补充足够的维生素D来实现。这将允许产生1,25(OH) 2d(非激素形式的骨化三醇)在细胞内的外周靶细胞,如免疫细胞。这使得免疫细胞的生理功能得以实现,包括分泌内/自分泌和分泌旁信号过程。这启动并维持强大的免疫功能,如形成抗体和抗菌肽,抑制炎症,增加抗炎和抗氧化基因的表达,从而增强免疫功能。维生素D缺乏症的情况正好相反,它增加了感染的易感性,并因此而死亡。因此,各国政府应使人口获得足够的免疫保健品——微量营养素,特别是维生素D和其他微量营养素:这是保持人口健康的最具成本效益的干预措施。与住院人数增加和过早死亡相关的费用相比,此类干预措施的费用微不足道。假设像作者提议的那样,在2020年中期实施这样的计划,我们估计50%的住院治疗(以及相关的医疗费用)和三分之一的COVID死亡是可以避免的。本文描述了使用维生素D来实现和维持血清d3和25(OH)D浓度的成本效益策略,这对维持强大的免疫系统、改善一般健康、最大限度地减少疾病严重程度和死亡以及降低医疗成本至关重要。

: Hydatid cyst of the breast is a very rare disease that predominantly affects endemic regions. Breast hydatid cysts can occur alone or as a component of widespread hydatidosis. Histopathology is the best diagnostic method for hydatid cysts of the breast, but fine needle aspiration cytology can be utilized in preoperative diagnosis. Here we report, a case of a female patient who was diagnosed with Hydatid cyst of the breast Postoperatively in Wolaita Sodo University teaching hospital, southern Ethiopia. Preoperatively the patient was diagnosed with tuberculous mastitis and she took the full course of Anti Tuberculous treatment. After completing the treatment there was no improvement. The cyst was removed surgically and histopathology confirmed the disease to be Hydatid cyst of the breast.
:乳腺棘球蚴病是一种非常罕见的疾病,主要影响流行地区。乳腺棘球蚴可以单独发生,也可以作为广泛性棘球蚴病的组成部分。组织病理学是诊断乳腺棘球蚴病的最佳方法,但细针穿刺细胞学检查可用于术前诊断。在这里,我们报告了一例女性患者,她在埃塞俄比亚南部的Wolaita Sodo大学教学医院术后被诊断为乳腺棘球蚴囊肿。术前,患者被诊断为结核性乳腺炎,并接受了全疗程的抗结核治疗。在完成治疗后没有任何改善。囊肿经手术切除,组织病理学证实为乳腺棘球蚴囊肿。

Background: Hereditary spherocytosis is a type of hemolytic anemia characterized by a clinically heterogeneous, genetically defined red blood cell membrane abnormality that results in hemolytic crisis. The inheritance of HS is autosomal dominant in 80% of affected individuals and recessive genes or sporadic type in the remaining 20%. Objective: The main aim of this study was to determine the magnitude of immune hereditary spherocytosis among human immunodeficiency virus-infected adults at the University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital in northwest Ethiopia from March to April 2021. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 358 human immunodeficiency virus-infected adults selected by systematic random sampling at the University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital from March to April 2021. Data for socio-demographic data were collected by structured pretested questionnaire. Five ml of venous blood was drawn from each participant and analyzed by Unicel DHX 800 hematology analyzer, and blood film examination and antihuman globulin test were performed to exclude immune hemolytic anemia. Data was entered into Epidata version 4.6 and analyzed by STATA version 14. Descriptive statistics were computed and drawn in charts and graphs. Results: The prevalence of hereditary spherocytosis was 2 of 358 participants. Both individuals who developed hereditary spherocytosis were females and in the age group of 22 to 35. The overall prevalence of anemia was 91 (25.42%). Of those anemic study population 3 (3.29%), 28 (30.77%), and 60 (65.93%), respectively, had severe, moderate, and mild anemia. Conclusion and Recommendation: Hereditary spherocytosis is a less frequent condition in human immunodeficiency virus-infected adults. In these patients, early detection and treatment are necessary at the familial level by using a test algorithm.
背景:遗传性球形红细胞增多症是一种溶血性贫血,其特点是临床异质性,遗传上确定的红细胞膜异常导致溶血危象。HS在80%的患者中为常染色体显性遗传,其余20%为隐性基因或散发性遗传。目的:本研究的主要目的是确定2021年3月至4月在埃塞俄比亚西北部贡达尔大学综合专科医院感染人类免疫缺陷病毒的成年人中免疫遗传性球形红细胞增多症的程度。方法:采用系统随机抽样的方法,于2021年3月至4月在贡达尔大学综合专科医院对358名人类免疫缺陷病毒感染者进行机构横断面研究。社会人口统计数据采用结构化预测问卷收集。每位受试者抽取静脉血5ml,经Unicel DHX 800血液学分析仪分析,并进行血膜检查和抗人球蛋白试验,排除免疫性溶血性贫血。数据输入Epidata 4.6版本,使用STATA 14版本进行分析。描述性统计是用图表和图形来计算和绘制的。结果:遗传性球形红细胞增多症的患病率为2 / 358。发生遗传性球形红细胞增多症的两个个体均为女性,年龄在22至35岁之间。总患病率为91(25.42%)。在这些贫血研究人群中,分别有3人(3.29%)、28人(30.77%)和60人(65.93%)患有重度、中度和轻度贫血。结论和建议:遗传性球形红细胞增多症是人类免疫缺陷病毒感染成人中较少见的疾病。在这些患者中,通过使用测试算法,在家族水平上早期发现和治疗是必要的。

: The author's aim in this article is to describe a common exanthematic disease typical of adolescence, pityriasis rosea Gibert, in the light of new findings. Another aim is to draw attention to an overlooked fact about the difficulty and inconsistency of therapy with the recommended course of action. The author uses his own experience from his many years of dermatological practice and adds facts from current literature sources on the disease. The meaning of the disease name is explained and the historical implications of the disease name are clarified. The current view of its probable viral etiopathogenesis and its similarity to another exanthematous skin disease, exanthema subitum, are described. The prodromal stage of the disease and the clinical picture of the skin findings with characteristic seeding of lesions resembling "Christmas tree branches" are described. The author's clinical pictures of the findings in individual patients with this disease are included. The possible relationship with COVID-19 is noted. The differential diagnosis is discussed, including the similarity to secondary syphilis, and the uncharacteristic histopathological picture of the disease is described. Finally, treatment options are discussed, with the caveat that the very common use of topical corticosteroids is not very effective and rather non-corticoid external therapy is recommended. The author draws attention to the possible alteration of the psychological state of predominantly adolescent patients due to the frequent long persistence of cutaneous, and therefore visible, symptoms.
作者在这篇文章的目的是描述一种常见的青春期典型的皮肤疾病,玫瑰糠疹,根据新的发现。另一个目的是提请注意一个被忽视的事实,即治疗与推荐的行动方案的困难和不一致。作者使用他自己的经验,从他多年的皮肤科实践,并增加了事实,从目前的文献来源对疾病。解释疾病名称的含义,并澄清疾病名称的历史含义。本文描述了目前对其可能的病毒发病机制的看法及其与另一种疹性皮肤疾病(皮下疹)的相似性。疾病的前驱期和临床图片的皮肤发现的特征播种病变类似“圣诞树枝”被描述。作者的临床图片的发现,个别患者的这种疾病包括在内。注意到与COVID-19的可能关系。鉴别诊断是讨论,包括相似的二期梅毒,和非特征性的组织病理学图片的疾病被描述。最后,讨论了治疗方案,注意到通常使用的局部皮质类固醇不是很有效,建议使用非皮质类固醇的外部治疗。作者提请注意可能的心理状态的改变,主要是青少年患者由于频繁长期持续的皮肤,因此可见,症状。
