Herein is a case of a 23-year-old man with recurrence of a seminal vesicle cyst after percutaneous drainage and laparoscopic excision complicated by hemorrhage requiring embolization. He presented to the emergency department for pain after ejaculation. Computed tomographic scan of his pelvis revealed extravasation of contrast near his cyst and pelvic fluid collection suspicious for a hematoma. ...

Concomitant pulmonary infections with Cryptococcus neoformans and Burkholderia cepacia in lung transplant recipients are very rare and create unique diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. Herein, we present a double lung transplant patient with cystic fibrosis who was found to have coinfection with these two rare organisms, though he was completely asymptomatic.

In cystic fibrosis (CF) airway epithelial sodium absorption is increased 2-3 fold. Since sodium absorption is inhibited by the sodium channel blocker amiloride, our aim was to assess its therapeutic benefit in cystic fibrosis. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial of nebulized amiloride was performed in 23 patients with cystic fibrosis. Amiloride or placebo was admini...

BACKGROUND Variant anatomy of renal arteries is important in renal transplant, vascular reconstruction, and uroradiological procedures. The variations show ethnic and population differences. Data from Africans are scarce and altogether absent for Kenyans. OBJECTIVE To describe patterns of origin, trajectories and branching of renal arteries in a Kenyan population. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING D...

A persistent colonization with Scedosporium apiospermum (S. apiospermum) often results in disseminated infection with a high mortality rate in immunosuppressed patients. We present the first case of successful prevention of scedosporiosis in an adolescent female cystic fibrosis patient post double lung transplant, with a combination of local and systemic voriconazole therapy and surgical interv...

Objectives: To observe and report the variations of renal artery in human cadavers. To compare the previous studies with the present study to report the incidence of the important type of variation. Methods: The study was performed on 60 cadaveric kidneys. The posterior abdominal wall was dissected in 30 embalmed cadavers to study the paired kidneys based on the method given in Cunningham’s man...

Anomalies of the coronary arteries are uncommon and often asymptomatic. Double right coronary artery (RCA) is a very rare coronary anomaly. So far, the number of reported cases of double RCA is low. We describe a case of a 50-year-old female patient hospitalised with the diagnosis of unstable angina pectoris. RCA injection showed filling of two separately originating RCA, coursing towards the r...

INTRODUCTION Presented herein is a case in which an aberrant right hepatic artery (RHA) passes anterior to the infundibulum and fundus of the gallbladder and courses to an unusually anterior hepatic entry. CASE REPORT A 54-year-old female with a history of biliary colic was scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic dissection revealed an aberrant right hepatic artery (RHA) ante...

Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted outpatient department (OPD) a tertiary care cardiac center from February 2019 to July 2019. Patients meeting selection criteria ALWMI were included. Key angi...
