Combined cervical laceration and bladder rupture: a case report of an unusual complica- tion of precipitated labor
Spontaneous bladder rupture following normal vaginal delivery is a
surgical postpartum emergency. Previous cesarean section, vacuum/
forceps-assisted vaginal deliveries, and distended bladder compressed
by engaged head in birth canal are all risk factors for bladder injuries
in healthy parturient women 1.
Development of a novel dental thermal imaging application
Thermography is a process where a (thermal) camera captures and
generates an image by using infrared radiation, emitted from an ob-
ject [1]. The image provides an opportunity to visibly record invisible
(to the human eye) infrared energy or heat. Thermography is non-
invasive, non-contact, user-friendly and a portable imaging method
and has been used in various industrial fields, such as engineering and
construction.
Retained Severed Radial Arterial Catheter
The radial artery is the most frequently utilized site for arterial can-
nulation due to accessibility and safety, with approximately 8 million
catheters placed per year in the USA.1 Radial artery cannulation is
associated with a major complication rate of less than 1%. While the
most common complication is temporary occlusion (19%), common
complications such as thrombosis.
Validation of regional wall motion abnormality assessment methods based on coronary CT- angiography with left ventricular function regarding prediction of hemodynamically rel- evant stenoses with instantaneous wave-free ratio
Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is the gold standard for diag-
nostic and treatment of CAD in high-risk patients [1]. Patients with
stable angina or silent ischaemia undergo revascularization therapy
when ischaemia or a hemodynamically relevant stenosis are detected
[2]. The DEFINE-FLAIR and iFR-SWEDEHEART randomized tri-
als demonstrated similar outcomes in FFR (fractional flow reserve)
and iwFR (instantaneous wave-free ratio) guided revascularizations in
patients with intermediate-grade stenosis [3, 4].
Acute tetraparesis revealing acute lymphoblastic leukemia relapse: a case report and literature review
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer of
childhood and an important cause of death from cancer during the
first two decades of life [1]. Global incidence rates have been estimated
to be between 1.08 to 2.12 per 100,000 person-years, the condition
being four times more frequent in childhood than in adulthood [2].
Recent advances in the fields of diagnostics and therapeutics have
improved prognostic outcomes in patients.
Neurolytic erector spinae plane block a treatment for postherpetic neuralgia a case report
Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is the most frequent chronic compli-
cation of herpes zoster infection and the most common neuropathic
pain resulting from any infection. Between 10-15% of the patients with
Herpes Zoster may develop it [1]. PHN is developed as a result of the
damaged peripheral and central nerve fibers due to the virus, resulting
in a lower threshold which is traduce give place to central and pe-
ripheral sensitization.
The social effects and potential value of combination of Chinese herbal medicine with Inter- net hospitals during the COVID-19 epidemic
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 out-
breaks first in China on December 2019. Unfortunately, because the
virus shows the characteristics of rapid human-to-human transmis-
sion, a total of 8,569,962 cases were confirmed and 457,388 deaths
were happened worldwide as of June 20. In consequence, public’s
health-related fears are also fueled, and WHO defines COVID-19 as
a pandemic.
VACTERL Association in an 18 Year Old Teenager with Covid-19 like Symptoms and Mul- tiple Neurologic Features
VACTERL association is a non-random association of multiple birth
defects that affects two or more body organs [1, 2]. VACTERL is de-

features: vertebral anomalies (V), anal atresia (A), cardiac malforma-
tions (C), Tracheoesophageal fistula (TE), renal dysplasia (R) and limb
abnormalities (L).
A case report on primary tuberculosis of glans penis-a rare presentation
Tuberculosis is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacteri-

respiratory route. On clinical manifestation, pulmonary tuberculosis
makes up 70% of cases, and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis 10-30%.
Brain MR imaging findings in children with congenital muscular dystrophies
Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) are a heterogeneous group
of disorders presenting early in life during infancy or soon after birth
with muscle weakness and hypotonia, sometime associated to severe
brain involvement and histologically presenting with dystrophic lesions. They are classified on the basis of the clinical features, pathologic findings and pattern of inheritance. In fact most of these disorders
are inherited and linked to specific genes. Several CDMs classifications have been proposed.

Cowden syndrome (CS) is characterized by the presence of multiple
hamartomas in various parts of the body, especially the skin, with mu-
cocutaneous lesions of diverse presentation. The estimated prevalence

dition. There is a preponderance with females, especially Caucasians.
A review of photodynamic therapy as a prevention modality for actinic keratoses and non- melanoma skin cancers in immunocompetent patients and immunosuppressed organ transplant recipients
The incidence of precancerous actinic keratoses and non-melanoma
skin cancers has been increasing worldwide because of several factors
such as skin tone, age, and primarily, exposure to ultraviolet radiation
[1]. Actinic keratoses constitute a spectrum of skin lesions that form
as rough, scaly macules or patches on the skin that have the potential
to develop into a squamous cell carcinoma if left without intervention.

Treatment and the Current Concept of Relapse, in Substance Use Disorder
Currently, "Substance Use Disorder" (SUD) is characterized by
an inability, consistent withdrawal, loss of inhibitory control of
the desire for Substance Abuse (SA), causing impairment in
behavior, decreased ability to recognize significant problems,
due to pathological behavior itself, deficits in interpersonal re-
lationships, and dysfunctional emotional responses.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) patients Caused by Ventricular Tachycardia with ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) is a common cause of acute chest
pain and is a leading cause of in-hospital cardiac arrest. Ventricular
tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) are considered as

Caregiving of Patients Living with Mental Illness-An experience from Rural Community
Mental health is one of the critical health requirements that society
needs to address in the present century. Around 14% of the global dis-

causes of disability in Asia is mental illness [1]. It is estimated that 1 in
every 4 families has a member suffering from a mental health disorder
[2].

Atraumatic tooth extraction with immediate implant installation: case report
At the end of 1970s, a technique called immediate dental implant (IDI)
was developed with the objective of installing the dental implant im-

cases of single tooth loss in the esthetic area, the installation of a dental
implant at the same time of tooth extraction, is the technique that has
become the first option for improving the stability of the alveolar ridge.
