Cutaneous Horn On The Right Supraclavicular Region In An Adolescent Female, A Rare Case Report, Rohit Gupta, Manoj Kumar, Ruchi Sinha, Reva Shankar Sahu
The New Ropanasuri Journal of Surgery
Cutaneous horn (CH) is an outgrowth from the skin surface, composed of keratin, and associated with benign to malignant skin lesions. We report a case of CH in a 15-year-old female associated with Keratoacanthoma. It is uncommon in young people and is associated with a good prognosis because of its benign nature. This case needs to be reported as it highlights the rare occurrence of this condition in the younger age group and its good prognosis. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice, with histopathologic diagnosis playing a critical role in determining the nature and further treatment of this condition …

Pain Characteristics Among Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis In Aden, Yemen, Abdulsalam Abdullah Hadi Mohsen
Pain Characteristics Among Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis In Aden, Yemen, Abdulsalam Abdullah Hadi Mohsen
Hadhramout University Journal of Natural & Applied Sciences
Knee osteoarthritis in adults is very common and is one of the most common causes of joint pain. The aim of the study was to describe the demographic characteristics and to analyze the clinical finding. It was a retrospective study conducted in Aden during the years 2015 to 2017. Data was obtained from patients’ charts and presented as frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviation. Significance was considered at P value < 0.05. The patients were 367, (males 44.4% and females 55.6%). The older patients (≥ 55 years) were (77.1%). About (39.5%) patients were mostly suffered from right knee osteoarthritis, (25.1%) suffered from left knee and (35.4%) patients have both knee osteoarthritis. Knee pain was mild in (61%) patients and in (30%) patients was moderate. The female to male ratio was 1.3:1 and their mean age was 61.0 ± 9.5 years (age ranged between 35 and 83 years). There was a significant correlation between mean ages of both genders (p = 0.001). The mean uric acid was 6.9 ± 1.6 mg/dL and the relationship between means in both genders was significant (p = 0.000). Patients were higher in the age group ≥ 55 years. Most of the right knee osteoarthritis were in females (28.6%), while bilateral osteoarthritis were predominant in males (22.1%) (P = 0.000). The relationship between the severity of knee pain and side involvement of the knee joint was highly statically significant (P = 0.000). Further prospective studies are needed.

Introduction
Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that are common during infancy. They are most commonly noted as superficial bright red lesions on the skin but can also be found deeper as subcutaneous lesions. Patients with multifocal cutaneous hemangiomas are at risk of visceral involvement with the liver being most commonly affected. Most hemangiomas can be monitored clinically as they are self-limiting. Despite this, hepatic hemangiomas can have serious complications including large arteriovenous shunts leading to cardiac compromise as well as severe hepatomegaly which can cause abdominal compartment syndrome, impaired ventilation and renal vein compression.

Dignity: A Journal of Analysis of Exploitation and Violence
Social determinants of health (SDH) are defined as the non-medical yet health-affecting conditions of a person’s life. They include such considerations as working conditions, discrimination, and access to health services. The aim of this study was to explore the SDH impacting those who have survived sex trafficking in Cambodia. This study employed a mixed methods, secondary analysis, focusing on 52 survivors of sex trafficking in the Butterfly Longitudinal Research Project from 2010 through 2019. Participants described myriad social determinants of health, including: gender, age, relationship status (marriage), ethnicity, national identification documentation (statelessness), social class, formal education, vocational training, occupation, and …
Microangiopathic Haemolytic Anaemia Diagnosis And Management In Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura And Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome: A Review, Adam P. Korneluk
Microangiopathic Haemolytic Anaemia Diagnosis And Management In Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura And Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome: A Review, Adam P. Korneluk
International Undergraduate Journal of Health Sciences
Microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia (MAHA) describes non-immune haemolysis by intravascular fragmentation of red blood cells, resulting from microvascular thrombosis characteristic of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). TMA-associated MAHAs include several diseases but are mostly associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and haemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS). TTP is caused by a severe deficiency in ADAMTS13 proteinase, responsible for regulating coagulation, either due to presence of anti-ADAMTS13 (acquired iTTP; immune-mediated) or mutations in ADAMTS13 itself (congenital cTTP). HUS is caused by abnormal and uncontrolled complement activation, either by bacterial toxin activity (typical dHUS) or lack of normal regulatory proteins (atypical aHUS). This review focuses on TTP …

Marshall Journal of Medicine
Translational cancer research relies on the availability of human patient tissue demonstrating the specific disease process under investigation. Biobanks of human tissue have historically been and remain to date the primary access point for cancer research samples. Biorepositories routinely supply researchers with varying sample types for use in biomedical studies; most commonly formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, or fresh snap-frozen tissue. In conjunction with preserved tissue samples, viable tumor cell lines derived from patient tissue have emerged to be a new gold standard in cancer research particularly in drug discovery and functional prognostic assays. Tissue banks providing these samples are …

Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
Background: In the clinical setting, it is not common practice to consider a vector bite, such as from a tick or flea, to be a contributing factor to chronic digestive symptoms. This article investigates associations we have observed among symptomatic patients and positive blood tests for vector-borne illness (VBI).
Methods: Patients who visited an urban gastroenterology clinic over a 3-year period were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 270 patients presenting with a constellation of digestive symptoms — and who had no apparent digestive pathology and reported no prior diagnosis or treatments for VBI — were analyzed. Before the initial visit, …
