Journal of Medical Case Reports | Abstract | Paecilomyces lilacinus causing debilitating sinusitis in an immunocompetent patient: a case report
jmedicalcasereports.com — “Since the discovery of the first documented case of Paecilomyces in 1963, only five cases of Paecilomyces sinusitis have been described to date and all of them have predisposing factors such as immunocompromised status or prior nasal surgery. We present the first case of Paecilomyces lilacinus sinusitis in a fit young woman with no identified predisposing factors. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first known case in the UK and in Europe.” View full resource at jmedicalcasereports.com

Journal of Medical Case Reports | Abstract | Acute compartment syndrome of the forearm as a rare complication of toxic epidermal necrolysis: a case report
jmedicalcasereports.com — “Toxic epidermal necrolysis lies within the spectrum of severe cutaneous adverse reactions induced by drugs, affecting skin and mucous membranes. Toxic epidermal necrolysis is considered a medical emergency as it is considered to be potentially fatal and carries a high mortality rate. To the best of our knowledge the association of toxic epidermal necrolysis and compartment syndrome has been rarely mentioned in the literature. In this case we treated the compartment syndrome promptly despite the ” View full resource at jmedicalcasereports.com

Journal of Medical Case Reports | Abstract | A minimally invasive technique of closing an iatrogenic subclavian artery cannulation using the Angio-Seal closure device: two case reports
jmedicalcasereports.com — “In two cases described here, a puncture of the subclavian artery, which had been inadvertently cannulated during unsuccessful access of the internal jugular vein, was successfully closed by using a closure device based on a collagen plug (Angio-Seal, St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN, USA). This technique is relatively simple and inexpensive. It can provide clinicians (intensive care physicians and anesthesiologists) with a safe and straightforward alternative to major surgery and can be a life-sav” View full resource at jmedicalcasereports.com

Journal of Medical Case Reports | Abstract | Altered mental status and low anion gap in a patient with sickle cell anemia: a case report
jmedicalcasereports.com — “It is challenging to diagnose two coexisting medical conditions if the symptoms are overlapping. This is further confounded if the patient presents with an unexplained deterioration in mental status. A low anion gap or a zero anion gap is an uncommon clinical finding and has few differential diagnoses. This test therefore has important implications in correctly identifying underlying medical conditions.” View full resource at jmedicalcasereports.com

jmedicalcasereports.com — “Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is defined as a prolonged state (more than six months) of eosinophilia (greater than 1500 cells/muL), without an apparent etiology and with end-organ damage. HES can cause coagulation abnormalities. Among HES types, the lymphocytic variant (L-HES) is derived from a monoclonal proliferation of T lymphocytes. Here, we describe the case of a patient with L-HES who presented with a coagulation abnormality.

jmedicalcasereports.com — “Cleidocranial dysplasia is a rare congenital defect of autosomal dominant inheritance caused by mutations in the Cbfa1 gene, also called Runx2, located on the short arm of chromosome 6. It primarily affects bones which undergo intramembranous ossification. This condition is of clinical significance to dentistry due to the involvement of the facial bones, altered eruption patterns and multiple supernumerary teeth.” View full resource at jmedicalcasereports.com
