Central Venous Stenosis in a Patient on Maintenance Hemodialysis: A Case Report

A 57-year-old male patient of chronic kidney disease on maintenance hemodialysis via right radio-cephalic fistula presented with swelling of his right arm and right half of face and headache. With the clinical suspicion of central venous obstruction he underwent venogram of right upper limb. A stenosis was found in right brachiocephalic vein. He underwent a percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty and his symptoms improved substantially.

Preliminary randomized controlled trial of antiaging effects of l-ascorbic acid applied in combination with no-needle and microneedle mesotherapy.

The epidermis is keratinized stratified squamous epithelium covered by hydro-lipid barrier. Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant which protects skin from oxidative damage and rejuvenates photo-aged skin. There are different options of improving active substance penetration through the stratum corneum of the epidermis. One of them is noneedle mesotherapy which is a non-invasive rejuvenation technique involving electric pulses, electroporation, and ultrasounds. The use of these physicals factors results in deeper penetration of active ingredients. The other one is micro-needle mesotherapy which is nonsurgical therapy, which could cause the controlled inflammation. Micro channels are formed by needles during the skin puncture, that facilitate penetration of the active ingredients. The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of L-ascorbic acid applied in combination with no-needle and micro-needle mesotherapy in anti-aging therapy. This study involved 17 healthy volunteers, 2.5 ml of serum containing 20% L-ascorbic acid with hydrate from strawberries was used topically in every of 4 treatments. No-needle mesotherapy was applied on the left half of the face while microneedle mesotherapy in combination with the same serum was performed on the right half of face. In vivo studies confirmed the effectiveness of both methods. The impact of active substance on skin firmness and elasticity as well as the degree of hydration and skin tone was more efficient after micro-needle mesotherapy.

Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE): A Fatal Aftermath of Measles Infection

Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) is a progressive form of encephalitis without a cure. This case report pertains to a primigravida diagnosed with SSPE in her fifth month of pregnancy. She has been married for two years. During her sixth month of pregnancy, she developed signs of SSPE such as behavioral and personality changes, social detachment, reduced involvement in household work which progressed to mutism, altered sensorium, involuntary movement of right half of face and myoclonic jerks involving right upper and lower limbs, in spite of that, she delivered a baby boy who within a month died due to diarrhea. The patient had several episodes of seizures which subsided with antiepileptic and antiviral drugs initially but on March 3, 2018 she again had myoclonic episodes of seizures, from which she did not recover. EEG findings showed periodic episodes of high-amplitude delta-frequency activity associated with the involuntary movements, superimposed on relatively normal background activity and elevated levels of gamma globulin and measles antibody in serum and cerebrospinal fluid was suggestive of SSPE. During pregnancy, marked by physiological immunosuppression, there is a greater chance of SSPE outbreak which requires constant care, follow up and observing initial manifestations of SSPE to delay the course of disease with symptomatic medications or treatment when the inflammatory changes are, possibly, still reversible. The long-term outlook for people with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is poor. Since the condition is always fatal, the only way to prevent SSPE is to get the measles vaccination

Ocular injury related with airbag deployment: A case report

The most severe airbag-related injuries occur in the orbital region. Eye injuries related with airbag deployment is usually defined under two headings as mechanical injury and alkali chemical injury. In addition to two types of injuries, there may be penetrating injuries accompanying them. Although eye injuries related to airbag deployment are rarely seen, they are extremely important that may result in potential poor clinical results. Treatment of eye injuries depends on the size and type of injury. A case who had monocular injury related to airbag deployment after a motor vehicle accident was presented in this article. Fourtytwo-years old male patient was admitted to our emergency room after a motor vehicle accident. He had complaints of pain in the face and neck. On his physical examination, there was a patchy lesion compatible burn injury in the right half of face and minimal redness in the right eye and periorbital area. In the follow-up of the patient had no radiological evidence of pathology requiring surgical intervention, an increase of redness in the right eye and a swelling of lower-right eyelid were detected. His cornea was found to be intact, but there was a minimal subconjunctival bleeding in the eye examination of the patient who had a normal visual acuity and intraocular pressure. The patient was discharged on the second day of admission after symptomatic treatment. J. Exp. Clin. Med., 2013; 30:399-401
