Lymphoepithelial Cyst Mimicking Malignant Pancreatic Signs

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: A lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas is a rare benign lesion that is difficult to diagnose preoperatively and challenging in distinguishing from potentially malignant cystic pancreatic neoplasms. A diagnostic step-up approach is recommended to clarify the lesion’s dignity and specify a treatment plan.

Solid Pseudopapillary Tumour of the Pancreas, a Chameleon-like Tumour? High CD138 Expression by a Pseudopapillary and Solid Tumour of the Pancreas Simulating a Plasmacytoma

1. Abstract Solid Pseudopapillary Tumour of the Pancreas (SPTP) is an uncommon tumour that occurs mainly in young women. Its aetiology is unknown with a low potential for malignancy. Its diagnosis is most often difficult by biopsy. Imaging data associated with epidemiological data should be sufficient to conjure up its diagnosis. We report the case

A Rare Case of Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) after Plasmodium Falciparum Infection

1. Abstract Malaria infections have a wide array of both acute and chronic neu- rologic presentations that can create unclear clinical pictures, espe- cially when presenting in a region with low malaria prevalence.1 Neurological complications for the pediatric population can be devastating if not correctly identified and promptly treated.

Beyond Ebola Treatment Units (ETU): Revising the Flow of Patient Care and Using Appropriate PPE to Improve Patient Care after Discharge from the ETU Ward

1. Summary The management of confirmed Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reactions (RT-PCR) negative patients that continue to present with signs and symptoms of severe infection remains a challenge for care providers in the conventional ETU ward. Healthcare workers providing care in the conventional ETU require appropriate protection against filovirus infection when providing optimal care to

The Integrated Use of Thermography and Ultrasonography as Predictive Load Control Model of Muscle Injuries in Soccer Athletes

1. Abstract High-intensity efforts represent 25% of the distance in a soccer match. This demand can result in fatigue, that could be assessed by load monitoring. Ultrasonography (US) is gaining popularity for clinical evaluation in soccer clubs and Infrared Thermography (IRT) presents skin temperature (ST) in real-time. There are no studies of their combined use

Management of the Patient with Dextrocardia, ASD, VSD and Scoliosis Under General Anesthesia: A Case Report

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: With the new anesthesia methods and developments in pediatric surgery, the life expectancy of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) has been prolonged. The presence of congenital and cardiac anomalies complicates the management of anesthesia and perioperative difficulties may be experienced for the anesthetist when cardiac or non-cardiac surgeries are planned
