We report a case of renal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and describe its angioarchitecture and endovascular management. A 28-year-old male patient presented with visible painless haematuria. CT of the abdomen showed a right renal AVM. Digital subtraction angiography of the right renal vessels showed an AVM of middle and lower pole segmental arteries with communication to a large saccular aneurysm, which was arising from the right main renal vein. Complete occlusion of the AVM was done by using glue (a mixture of n-butyl-cyanoacrylate and lipiodol), resulting in nonvisualisation of the aneurysm on angiography. His vital signs were stable during the procedure. Follow-up CT after 12 months showed no residual flow in the aneurysm, normal upper pole renal parenchyma and nonvisualisation of AVM. Early diagnosis of this clinical entity is of paramount importance for proper management as it can cause massive blood loss and rapid clinical deterioration.Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) showing signet ring (SR) cell morphology is a very rare variant of BCC. Here, we report BCC with SR cell morphology developed in the right cheek skin of a 79-year-old man. Histopathologic examination showed irregularly shaped islands of basaloid cells with characteristic peripheral palisading. Inside of the cancer islands, many tumour cells showed an enlarged fine granular cytoplasm with the peripherally compressed nuclei, being similar to the SR cell. Immunohistochemical examination revealed dense accumulation of cytokeratin (CK) 5/6 and a faint signal of 34βE12 in SR cells. The reported myoepithelial markers were not detected. Interestingly, ubiquitin, a component of the ubiquitin-proteasome protein degradation system, was co-localised in the SR cells. These suggest, for the first time, that accumulation of the undegraded CK5/6 with ubiquitination results in the SR cell morphology. Our report showed that the aberrant keratin turnover is associated with the SR cell BCC.SARS-CoV-2 preferentially targets the human's lungs, but it can affect multiple organ systems. We report a case of cardiorenal syndrome in a 37-year-old man who had symptoms of fever, myalgia and cough. He tested positive for COVID-19 and presented 5 days later with acute heart failure. Work up was done including echocardiography showing reduced ejection fraction. Later in the hospital course he developed acute renal failure and was treated with intermittent renal replacement therapy. No other definite cause of cardiorenal complications was identified during the course of the disease. A possible link with COVID-19 was considered with underlying mechanisms still needed to be explored. This case highlights the potential of SARS-CoV-2 affecting heart and kidneys. The disease not only involves the organs directly but can exacerbate the underlying comorbid illness.Methaemoglobinemia is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication of topical benzocaine use that requires prompt identification in patients who undergo transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE). In this case, a 21-year-old patient who had sustained a stroke with residual right-sided weakness a few days prior to presentation underwent TEE to evaluate for intracardiac shunt. She required intubation as part of her poststroke care with some instrumentation to the posterior oropharynx. Shortly after TEE, the patient experienced sudden onset respiratory distress and hypoxia that did not improve with supplemental oxygen. Chest X-ray did not reveal any acute cardiopulmonary process. Arterial blood gas co-oximetry panel with methaemoglobin level confirmed the diagnosis of methaemoglobinemia. The patient promptly received methylene blue, recovered quickly and did not have any additional episodes of hypoxia.This case report discusses the rare presentation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonitis in a young patient with moderately severe Crohn's disease managed with low dose azathioprine. CMV pneumonitis was initially suspected on CT chest images and confirmed by PCR for CMV. She was treated with intravenous ganciclovir and later stepped down to oral valganciclovir. Although this patient had a prolonged and complicated hospital admission, a good clinical outcome was achieved. CMV infection was raised as an early differential and antiviral treatment was started without delay. This case study, therefore, makes the case for increased awareness of the possibility of, and recognition of CMV pneumonitis among healthcare professionals as a way of preventing significant morbidity and mortality. It also raises awareness of checking for slow metabolisers of azathioprine before initiation to look for individuals who may be at increased risk of azathioprine's adverse effects.Osteochondral defect or osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee usually affects young, active populations.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/OSI-930.html  It is a challenging diagnosis as patients typically present with poorly localised activity-related pain, which is non-specific and covers many differentials. We present an active 11-year-old girl with bilateral osteochondral defects of the patellae a rare clinical disorder which was affecting her sporting activities. She had a 12-month history of bilateral anterior knee pain before the diagnosis was achieved with appropriate imaging. Her pain significantly improved with activity modification and physiotherapy. Follow-up will require outpatient clinic assessment and imaging to determine if non-operative management continues to be successful or surgery may be required. This case report emphasises the importance of appropriate high index of suspicion when managing patients with non-specific knee pain. It also demonstrates the importance of judicious use of imaging to avoid a missed or delayed diagnosis.A 13-year-old girl with moderate intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was admitted to the paediatric high-dependency unit following an 8-week history of altered mental status and motor behaviour. Her symptoms emerged followed shortly after discontinuation of risperidone, an atypical antipsychotic previously commenced to manage disruptive behaviour associated with ASD. On physical examination, the patient presented with negativism, grimacing, automatic obedience, waxy flexibility and ambitendency. Blood tests, neuroimaging and lumbar puncture failed to reveal an acute infectious or neurological precipitant. She responded immediately to a trial of intramuscular lorazepam titrated to a total daily dose of 12 mg. This case presents challenges of accurately diagnosing and managing catatonic symptoms in adolescent patients with ASD. We also discuss the potential risk of precipitating catatonia following the discontinuation of antipsychotic treatment that has been prescribed for a prolonged duration.
