The effects of femtosecond laser-assisted small incision lenticule extraction and phakic intraocular lens implantation on macular perfusion
Authors: Said Mohamed H.
Published: November 2024

Aim

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of femtosecond laser-assisted small incision lenticule extraction (Femto-SMILE) and phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implantation on macular and optic nerve perfusion utilizing optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Patients and methods

This is a retrospective cohort study that included 60 eyes of 60 patients having moderate to high myopia (−7.0 to −15.0 D). The patients were categorized per intervention received into: group 1 that included 26 eyes (26 patients) for whom PIOL implantation was performed and group 2 that included 34 eyes (34 patients) for whom Femto-SMILE procedure was performed. All interventions took place at the Ophthalmology Department in Alexandria Main University Hospital, Alexandria, Egypt. The study parameters (including OCTA) were assessed preoperatively, on the first day, and 2 weeks postoperatively. The OCTA parameters included macular vessel density, foveal avascular zone size, optic disc flux index, optic disc perfusion, peripapillary and macular choroidal area, macular luminal area, and macular choroidal vascularity.

Results

There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the two groups (P>0.05). The intraocular pressure (IOP) was markedly lower in the PIOL group than in the Femto-SMILE group on the first postoperative day (P=0.019). No other differences between the two groups were noted in terms of IOP, visual acuity, myopia, or astigmatism. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in macular and optic nerve perfusion, though both groups demonstrated a significant affection on the first postoperative day that was completely reversed by 2 weeks. The OCTA parameters were all comparable between the two groups both at day 1 and week 2. While certain OCTA parameters showed statistically significant differences at day 1 postoperatively, the 2-week OCTA measurements were comparable to the preoperative parameters.

Conclusion

Both Femto-SMILE and PIOL implantation refractive techniques demonstrated similar outcomes for macular and optic nerve perfusion. The PIOL group exhibited lower postoperative IOP on the first postoperative day.

Published: November 2024

Aim:

The application of three-dimensional (3D) printing in dentistry is becoming increasingly valuable from clinical dentistry to student training, teaching, and simulation training. Mastering 3D-printed models’ usage is essential for general dental practitioners (GDPs) as it allows them to choose and necessarily know what is offered, as well as how to implement it in everyday practices, thereby contributing to the betterment of the dental profession. The study aims to assess and quantify GDPs knowledge, understanding, and practices related to the use of 3D-printed tooth model for apical barrier placement technique.

Methodology:

A cross-sectional study was conducted in the form of self-explanatory questionnaire in the form of 18 questions that evaluated their knowledge and awareness regarding 3D printing. The sample size of 94 GDPs was asked to respond to questionnaire. After the workshop, GDPs were questioned regarding their satisfaction with the simulation of the apical barrier technique with a 3D model. Responses were structured by a five-point Likert scale (1, strongly disagree; 2, disagree; 3, neither agree nor disagree; 4, agree; and 5, strongly agree).

Results:

A total of 94 replies were obtained after the questionnaire was circulated. Awareness regarding the apical barrier placement technique in open apex cases was known by 61% of practitioners before the workshop. Most of the GDPs strongly agreed with the skill acquisition on a 3D open apex tooth model after the training workshop and it met their expectations.

Conclusions:

3D modeling of open apex cases with the application of apical barrier placement technique is useful to give a simulation experience to GDPs. However, with consideration of costs and long processing times, 3D printing may be used optimally for technique-sensitive cases.

The treatment goals include reducing involuntary movements, improving neck posture and thereby quality of life.
Comparative Study between Effectiveness of Ultrasound-guided ONA-botulinum Toxin Type A Injection with Exercise Therapy on Shoulder Pain Due to Post-stroke Subscapularis Spasticity
Authors: Bhattacharyya Panchatapa , Ghorai Debayan , Pramanik Rajesh
Published: November 2024

Background:

Several invasive and non-invasive procedures are effective in post-stroke shoulder pain (PSP). In this study, we wanted to assess the role of early intervention by ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin type A injection in shoulder pain due to post-stroke subscapularis spasticity.

Methods:

This study was a prospective randomised open-label control trial. Patients suffering from PSP due to subscapularis spasticity were selected (n = 80). After computer-generated randomisation, they were allocated into two groups (Group 1: patients on exercise therapy only and Group 2: botulinum toxin injection in subscapularis along with exercise therapy) consisting of 40 patients in each group. The primary outcome measure was Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score of shoulder pain. The secondary outcome measures were Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) for spasticity of subscapularis.

Results:

Statistically significant differences in improvement were found with superior result in Group 2 at 2 weeks for shoulder pain VAS (P = 0.025), SPADI (P = 0.047) and MAS (P = 0.038); at 6 weeks for shoulder pain VAS (P = 0.019), SPADI (P = 0.037) and MAS (P = 0.041); and at 12 weeks for shoulder pain VAS (P = 0.011), SPADI (P = 0.027) and MAS (P = 0.035). No adverse effect was observed in either of the group.

Conclusion:

In clinical practice, botulinum toxin injection is regarded as the first-choice treatment of focal spasticity in the upper limb, as it gives us the opportunity to target specifically selected muscles. Botulinum toxin injection along with exercise therapy is more effective in early intervention of PSP due to subscapularis spasticity to improve shoulder pain and function.
Palatal Perforation, a Morbid Clinical Entity in the Oral Cavity
Authors: Swain Santosh Kumar
Published: November 2024

The palate is a favorable site of the oral cavity for soft tissue lesions. Palatal perforation is an uncommon clinical condition. It may result from inherited or acquired factors. The acquired causes include infections, malignancy, and certain drug abuse. There are different factors such as diseases process or effects of certain drugs can affect the blood supply leading to tissue ischemia and lesions in the palate. Chronic necrosis of the epithelium lining the palate may destroy the bone to leave a bony sequester that eventually results in palatal perforation. The two most typical symptoms of an oronasal fistula are speech difficulties and nasal regurgitation. For histological study, palatal lesions should be biopsied. It is necessary to get the proper cultures and stains for fungus, bacteria, and mycobacteria. Depending on the underlying etiology, palatal perforations have different treatment options and prognoses. The treatment of palatal perforation and prognosis vary depending on the cause. This review focuses on details of palatal perforation including its etiopathology, classification, clinical features, and its current management.
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation: A Revolutionary Approach to Treating Gut-related Disorders
Authors: Suchitra M. R.
Published: November 2024

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a novel medical approach that involves transferring stool from a healthy donor into another person’s gastrointestinal tract. Replacing the recipient’s microbiota with a healthy microbial community helps restore gut health and eliminate disease-causing pathogens. Although it is an ancient concept, this idea of FMT has gained much interest these days mainly because of successful treatment for recurrent antibiotic-resistant Clostridioides difficile infections (CDIs) with cure rates over 90%. FMT mechanism of action includes restoration of balance in gut microbiota by replenishing healthy bacteria, restoration of the barrier function of the gut, and modulation of immune responses. Other than CDI, clinical applications for FMT are extended to include inflammatory bowel disease as well as potentially irritable bowel syndrome, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and neurological disorders through the gut–brain axis. Interestingly enough, FMT has been shown to be feasible in clinical studies for symptom improvement for Parkinson’s disease and metabolic syndrome. From the perspective of challenges, it is clear that FMT also has its own set of difficulties. These include pathogen transmission through screened donors, standardization in preparation and storage procedures, and navigating complex regulatory landscapes. Synthetic microbiota and personalized treatments represent exciting entrances into the realm of microbiome therapy. Synthetic approaches guarantee safety and consistency due to well-controlled bacterial strains. Personalized treatments have the advantage of adaptation to the individual’s gut microbiome profile. FMT represents perhaps the most novel and promising of the therapeutic advances made across so many diseases, and it fully embodies the utmost possibilities that precision medicine can offer. Despite these practical challenges, even further research and technological advancements in microbiome science would eventually refine the FMT modality, enhance their efficacy, and generalize their applications beyond the mere gut.

Authors: Łyszczarz Maciej
Published: November 2024

Publikowany tekst wspomnień Józefa Puchały (1902–1983), zaangażowanego społecznika, a także ludowego artysty i malarza, dotyczy jego służby w 22. Pułku Ułanów Podkarpackich w latach 1924–1925. Autor opisuje w nich, jak wyglądało życie ułana, zarówno w koszarach, jak i podczas manewrów, dając tym samym wgląd w inną – niż znane dotychczas z relacji oficerskich – perspektywę służby wojskowej. Rękopis wspomnień został również okraszony rysunkami, których kilka jest reprodukowanych jako materiał ilustracyjny do niniejszego tekstu, prezentującymi m.in. niektórych oficerów i podoficerów 22. pułku ułanów, z którymi zetknął się w czasie swojej służby Puchała. Oprócz osobistych relacji Autor postarał się również o wyjaśnienie organizacji pułku kawalerii z lat 20., a także scharakteryzował swoich przełożonych.

The 22nd Carpathian Lancer Regiment in 1924–1925 through the eyes of cavalryman Józef Puchała:

The published memoirs of Józef Puchała (1902–1983), a committed social worker, as well as folk artist and painter, concern his service in the 22nd Carpathian Lancer Regiment in the years 1924–1925. In them, the author describes the life of a cavalryman, both in the barracks and during manoeuvres, thus providing an insight into a different perspective of military service than that previously known from officers’ accounts. The manuscript of memoirs was also adorned with drawings, with some reproduced as illustrative material for this text, presenting, among others, officers and non-commissioned officers of the 22nd Cavalry Regiment that Puchała met during his service.

Przejmowanie w latach 2021–2022 na stan zasobu Archiwum Narodowego w Krakowie materiałów archiwalnych pozostających w użyczeniu i używaniu na podstawie umów użyczenia oraz porozumienia
Authors: Spyrka Grażyna
Published: November 2024

Artykuł opisuje działania podjęte przez Archiwum Narodowe w Krakowie w latach 2021–2022 w celu formalnego przejęcia do zasobu (bez przewożenia dokumentacji do archiwum) materiałów archiwalnych pozostających w użyczeniu i używaniu na podstawie umów użyczenia oraz porozumienia, które archiwum zawierało z podmiotami zewnętrznymi w latach wcześniejszych. W okresie od 2016 do 2021 r. podpisano 49 takich umów oraz jedno porozumienie w sprawie pozostawienia do używania materiałów archiwalnych. Efektem zakończonych w grudniu 2022 r. prac było powiększenie zasobu Archiwum Narodowego w Krakowie o przeszło 200 mb akt. Same akta nie są jednak przechowywane w magazynach tej instytucji. W założeniu Naczelnego Dyrektora Archiwów Państwowych zarejestrowanie użyczonych bądź pozostawianych materiałów archiwalnych w zasobie archiwum poprzez wpis do książki nabytków pozwolić miało m.in. na uporządkowanie statusu właścicielskiego dokumentacji. Przechowywanie użyczonych materiałów archiwalnych, stanowiących już zasób danego archiwum, poza jego siedzibą budzi jednak pewne obawy. Pomimo wielu zapisów – mających na celu ochronę materiałów archiwalnych – umieszczonych w podpisanych umowach użyczenia i porozumieniu, archiwa państwowe nie mają możliwości bieżącego monitowania warunków przechowywania dokumentacji oraz sprawdzania, czy zachowywana jest ich kompletność oraz zaakceptowany układ.

Acquiring, in the years 2021–2022, archival materials that are on loan and used on the basis of lending agreements for the National Archives in Kraków:

The article describes the activities undertaken by the National Archives in Kraków in 2021–2022 in order to formally take over (without transporting the documentation to the archives) archival materials that are on loan and used on the basis of lending agreements, which the archive entered into with external entities in previous years. In the period from 2016 to 2021, 49 such agreements were signed, as was one agreement on keeping archival materials for use. Due to the work completed in December 2022, the resources of the National Archives in Kraków were enlarged by over 200 metres of files. However, the files themselves are not kept in the institution’s storage rooms. According to the assumptions of the Supervisory Director of the State Archives, the registration of lent or deposited archival materials in the archive resources by entry in the book of acquisitions was intended to enable, among others, organization of the documentation’s ownership status. However, the storage of borrowed archival materials, which already constitute the resources of a given archive, outside its premises raises some concerns. Despite many provisions in the signed lending agreements aimed at protecting archival materials, the state archives does not have the ability to monitor the conditions for storing documentation on an ongoing basis and to check whether their completeness and approved layout are maintained.

Archiwista w poszukiwaniu głębi, czyli rozmowa o teologii archiwum
Authors: Chorążyczewski Waldemar , Dudała Halina
Published: November 2024

Autorzy stawiają pytanie o możliwość prowadzenia pogłębionej refleksji nad zjawiskiem archiwum. Rozważają potencjalne istnienie teologii, filozofii lub metafizyki archiwum. Dostrzegają, że punktem wyjścia do tego rodzaju spojrzenia na archiwa jest wrażliwość archiwalna, która stanowi jeden z trzech warunków bycia archiwistą, obok wiedzy i umiejętności. Najdobitniej wrażliwość archiwalna przejawia się w dostrzeganiu faktów ginięcia archiwów. Pogłębienie perspektywy archiwalnej pozwala na uwolnienie się od wyłącznie technicznego traktowania pracy archiwistów. Wspomaga ono budowanie etosu zawodowego archiwistów. Autorzy proponują program badań obejmujący śledzenie wątków archiwalnych lub pamięciowych w różnych religiach i systemach wartości charakterystycznych dla licznych kultur i religii teraźniejszych i przeszłych. Przewidują również poszukiwanie inspiracji i wsparcia we wszystkich nurtach myślenia naukowego – antropologicznego, historycznego, socjologicznego, filozoficznego czy teologicznego, odwołujących się w swych rozważaniach i opisie rzeczywistości do kategorii pamięci.

An archivist in search of depth, in other words, a discussion about archive theology:

The authors consider the possibility of conducting in-depth reflection on the phenomenon of the archive. They consider the potential existence of a theology, philosophy or metaphysics of archives. They observe that the starting point for such a view of archives is archival sensitivity, one of the three conditions of being an archivist, alongside knowledge and skills. Archival sensitivity is most clearly manifested when noticing the fact that archives are disappearing. Deepening the archival perspective allows us to liberate ourselves from an exclusively technical approach to archival work and supports the development of the professional ethos of archivists. The authors propose a research program that includes tracing archival or memory threads in various religions and value systems characteristic of numerous cultures and religions, both past and present. They also predict a search for inspiration and support in all areas of scientific thinking – anthropological, historical, sociological, philosophical and theological, referring to the category of memory in their considerations and description of reality.
Native stingless bees, their social and ecosystem roles – a review
Authors: Caballero Méndez Lyda C. , Salazar Ríos Daniel , Chica Builes Juan F. , Franco-Montoya Luz Natalia
Published: November 2024

Pollinators are animal vectors such as some insects, birds, and mammals that fulfil a biological function in most terrestrial ecosys- tems and contribute to the genetic variability of plants. Bees are the best known pollina- tors. These insects constitute a highly diverse group that depend on flowers to guarantee their survival and complete their life cycle. They are considered necessary floral visitors that pollinate many plant species. Stingless bees, called meliponines, are essential pol- linators in tropical and subtropical ecosys- tems, at elevations from sea level to 3400 metres. Their products, such as pollen and honey, have great medicinal value in human health. However, a lack of knowledge con- cerning their diversity, distribution, biology, and taxonomy has led to population declines, putting the pollination service they provide at risk. One of the strategies to promote their conservation is the development of meliponi- culture, which is considered a productive breeding practice that, when well-managed, can ensure care and conservation of these pollinators. This review aims to analyse the importance of native bees and the products obtained from their services in the balance of ecosystems.
INVESTIGATION OF THE USE OF NANOPARTICLES IN THERMAL INSULATION MATERIALS
Authors: Demirpolat Ahmet Beyzade , Uyar Muhammed Mustafa
Published: November 2024

Today, the concept of energy conservation has become a much more important concept due to the difficulty in accessing energy and the increasing cost of energy resources. The fact that fossil energy resources have started to be depleted in recent years worldwide has led mankind to renewable and sustainable energy resources. However, the fact that such resources are not yet at a level to meet the needs has shown the necessity of using energy economically. In our research, the thermal conductivities of the nanoparticles produced by us were determined in terms of evaluating the use of nanoparticle materials, which is a new perspective on energy saving, in thermal insulation materials. Then, the thermal conductivity coefficients of the nanoparticles in the literature were investigated and compared with the values of the nanoparticles produced by us, and the suitability of the use of the nanomaterials we produced in insulation materials was evaluated. In the study, the heat transfer coefficients of Al2O3 and CuO nanoparticles were found to be 34.2 and 65.4 W/mK, respectively. In the literature review, it was seen that these values were 36 and 65.8, respectively. As a result of the evaluations, it was observed that the CuO nanoparticle produced by us gave similar results with the literature, and the Al2O3 nanoparticle gave better results than similar studies at a rate of 5%.

In today's business activities, many companies in Indonesia choose to obtain funds from shareholders through loans from shareholders, compared to the mechanism of increasing issued and paid-up capital. Specific to subsidiaries with the status of public companies or issuers, the scheme of obtaining funds from shareholders through shareholder loans is considered relatively easier because it is an affiliate transaction. This study will further examine the appropriate form of regulation related to the determination of the maximum limit of shareholder loan interest to subsidiary entities in the form of issuers or public companies. Through a normative juridical approach with qualitative analysis methods, this study explores the existing regulatory framework, identifies gaps in implementation, and formulates comprehensive regulatory solutions. The results of the study revealed several important findings. First, the existing regulatory framework does not provide clear parameters regarding the maximum limit of interest on shareholder loans, causing inconsistencies in business practices. Second, the existing supervision and enforcement mechanisms have not been optimal in preventing potential abuse of shareholder loan schemes. Third, an integrative approach is needed that considers the legal aspects of the company, the capital market, and taxation in determining the maximum reasonable interest limit. This study recommends the establishment of a special regulatory framework that regulates the determination of the maximum limit of shareholder loan interest.

Published: November 2024

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in incorporating phytogenic feed additives (PFAs) into broiler chicken diets as potential alternatives to traditional growth-promoting additives. This study evaluated the economics of individually incorporating either six different dried herbs or their essential oils into broiler diets: chamomile, rosemary, lavender, oregano, thyme, and St. John's wort. A total of 390 day-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly divided into 13 groups of 30 chicks with three replicates (10 chicks/replicate). One group received a basal diet (control group), while the others received a basal diet supplemented with 2% of each dried herb (E1-E6 groups) or 0.02% of their essential oils (E7-E12 groups) for 39 days. The parameters measured were feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, feed costs, economic efficiency and European Broiler Index (EBI). The results showed better economic efficiency with 2% dried St. John's wort herb, as well as 0.02% St. John's wort, rosemary, thyme or lavender essential oils compared to the other treatments (P0.05). Unsatisfactory results were observed with dry lavender herb and essential oils of chamomile or oregano, which resulted in a significant decrease in net income and economic efficiency due to higher feed costs per kilogram live weight (P0.05). These results suggest that while certain PFAs can improve economic efficiency, their overall effect is variable and some may not outperform traditional growth promoters.

Results: This study analyzes the relationship between the three and emphasizes the role of HR practices as a mediator, in facilitating an enhanced engagement among employees. It also proposes to develop a strategy to increase engagement among employees. Samples have been drawn through purposive and multistage cluster methods. Data has been collected through a questionnaire containing 106 questions. The managers belonging to different automobile organizations were the primary respondents. Quantitative data has been systematically organized, coded and entered in SPSS21.0 software. Various tools were applied to test a set of independent, mediating, and dependent variables. The tools applied were descriptive analysis, correlational analysis, multiple regression and mediation analysis.
 
Findings: The mean score on OCTAPACE, after data analysis, reflects that respondent perceived a healthy organizational culture in their respective organizations. POLI score indicates that the implementation phase of learning was found to be the most relevant and competency building emerged as the most vital learning mechanism. 
 
Conclusions: There was a significant positive correlation between organizational culture, OLD, performance management evaluation and employee engagement. Hierarchical multiple regression shows that confrontation and proactivity dimensions of culture were significant predictors of employee engagement. Performance management evaluation significantly predicted engagement. Mediation analysis shows that performance management evaluation helps partially mediate the relationship between organizational culture and employee engagement. The direct effect of culture on engagement was found to be stronger than having mediating variables.

The current study was conducted to assess the safety of an ethanol extract of the Cassia auriculata linn entire plant by detecting its potential toxicity following acute administration in Swiss albino mice. For the acute investigation, an ethanol extract of Cassia auriculata linn entire plant was supplied to albino mice in a single dose of 0-2000 mg/kg via feeding. After feeding, behavioral changes, adverse effects, and death were assessed for up to 14 days. Histopathological examinations were performed 14 days following oral dosing. At the end of the observation period, animals were sacrificed. In an acute investigation with ethanol extract of Cassia auriculata linn, the whole plant showed no behavioral alterations indicating detrimental effects or deaths. There were no significant differences in organ weights or gross necropsy between the treatment and control groups. The ethanol extract of Cassia auriculata linn entire plant can be deemed relatively harmless at the oral dose tested because it did not induce any mortality or unfavorable behavioral changes in albino mice, according to a necropsy investigation in acute toxicity.

Univentricular heart is a rare and complex congenital heart defect characterized by the presence of a single functional ventricular chamber. While significant advancements in pediatric surgical interventions have improved the survival of patients with univentricular physiology, a growing number of these individuals are now reaching adulthood. This transition presents a spectrum of unique clinical challenges, including the management of long-term complications such as heart failure, arrhythmias, thromboembolism, and liver dysfunction. The adult univentricular heart population requires a multidisciplinary approach to optimize outcomes, incorporating advanced imaging modalities for accurate anatomical and hemodynamic assessment, and tailored therapeutic strategies. This review discusses the epidemiology, anatomical and physiological considerations, late complications, and current evidence-based management of adult patients with univentricular heart. Furthermore, it explores emerging therapeutic options, including the use of advanced heart failure therapies and the potential for cardiac transplantation. The paper also highlights the importance of transition care programs from pediatric to adult congenital heart disease specialists to improve the continuity of care and long-term prognosis.

Lack of physical activity in daily life can lead to serious health problems, such as obesity, heart disease, and mental health disorders that negatively impact family resilience. Therefore, exercise is important to improve the health of family members, reduce the risk of disease, and strengthen social relationships, all of which contribute to better family resilience and well-being. Given the importance of exercise for health, this study focuses on How exercise programs can holistically improve family health and well-being. This study explored the relationship between exercise programs and their impact on family health, resilience, and well-being. The method used is a systematic literature review (SLR), which includes the selection of literature from various academic databases, Scopus, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and Google Scholar, by setting clear inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure the relevance and quality of the research and obtaining data that is worthy of being analysed as many as 23 scientific articles. Data analysis using the help of biblioshiny and NVivo. The results of this review indicate that participation in exercise programs improves individuals' physical and mental health and strengthens emotional and social relationships within the family, resulting in stronger bonds between family members. These findings highlight the importance of policies supporting family participation in physical activity and developing inclusive and flexible sports programs to address the challenges families face. Recommendations for future research include exploring the accessibility of sports programs for all population segments and paying attention to the potential negative impacts of involvement in organized sports. This study provides valuable insights into the vital role of sport in creating healthy and resilient families in a changing era.

Churg-Strauss Syndrome Presenting with Pericarditis
Authors:   UOC Medicine 3, AORN A. Cardarelli, Naples, Italy, A Parisi
Published: November 2024

Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a rare systemic vasculitis, that
affects medium-sized vessels, involves multiple organs and in the
majority of cases is related to asthma and eosinophilia. We report
the case of a young woman with acute pericarditis.
Case History
A 22-year-old woman with a history of allergic rhinitis, asthma
and nasal polyposis was admitted at our emergency department for
chest pain and bilateral lower extremity weakness with paresthesia.
Laboratory tests showed eosinophilia, elevated C-reactive protein
(112 mg/dl) and elevated biochemical markers of myocardial
injury (troponin 0.46 ng/ml). The electrocardiogram was negative.
Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a small pericardial
effusion with no other abnormalities. Hearth magnetic resonance
imaging was permormed and confirmed a diagnosis of pericarditis.
Immunologic study showed ANA and ANCA positive, in particular
ANA 1:100, p-ANCA 134 U/l, and elevated IgE. Electromyography
revealed sensory-motor symmetric axonal neuropathy. She had
also arthritis of the right wrist. This presentation led to a diagnosis
of CSS and appropriate therapy with corticosteroid, colchicine and
mepolizumab resulted in a remission of disease activity.
Discussion
Physicians should thus be alert to the possibility of CSS as a
differential diagnosis in patients presenting with pericarditis,
whenever the clinical setting is appropriate.
Portal Vein Thrombosi (PVT) Secondary to Deficiency C Protein in a Young Male
Authors:   UOC Medicine 3, AORN A. Cardarelli, Naples, Italy, E Marrone
Published: November 2024

Background
Inherited defects of the natural coagulation inhibitors predispose
patients to thrombosis. These disorders have similar clinical
presentations with a strong family of thrombosis, episodes of
recurrent venous thromboembolism, beginning in early adulthood.
We report a case of portal vein thrombosis (VPT) secondary to
hereditary protein C deficiency in a young male.
Case History
A 39-year-old male was admitted to the hospital for abdominal
pain. Laboratory tests revealed levels of alanine and aspartate
aminotransferases increased and levels of lipase and amylase
normal, ruling out any possibility of pancreatitis. Abdominal
CT scan indicated thrombosis of the portal vein and multiple
celiac lymph nodes. To exclude occult malignancy PET/CT scan
was conducted. Results from viral profiles and tumor markers
were negative. Thrombophilic screening was negative except for
low levels of protein C (PC) antigen (28% with n.r. 70-140%).
Therefore, insufficient PC came out to be the primary cause of
PVT. The patient was prescribed anticoagulant therapy with
fondaparinux 7,5 mg/die and then warfarin for a long period to
target an INR range of 2-3.
Discussion
Inherited PC deficiency is rare in PVT. Its identification is
important for treatment of PVT, with better outcomes associated
with early anticoagulant medication intervention
