 Flood Syndrome in a chronic Hepatitis patient by Mohamed Shafi Bin Mahboob Ali in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences

This is a case of an elderly women with chronic Hepatitis B and was not on treatment came to our centre with the complaints of abdominal distension,pain and leaking of ‘yellowish fluid’ from her umbilicus.She claimed that the leaking was recent after the detachment of her belly button.Otherwise, she also had nausea,vomiting,loss of appetite and jaundice.Blood profiles showed transaminitis with very low albumin level.On examination,her abdomen was very distended with the presence of ascites.The umbilicus was necrosed and detached from the surrounding skin.There were no signs of inflammation seen surrounding the umbilicus.This is a classical Flood Syndrome where the umbilicus give away due to pressure necrosis by the increasing ascitic fluids.We attached a stoma bag and referred the case to the medical team.The necrosed umbilicus was left as it is and the defect become a natural conduit for the flow of the ascitic fluids.

Counterstrain Manual Therapy Reduces Muscle Spasticity and Neuropathic Pain in Individual with Chronic Spinal Cord Injury: Case Report by David R. Dolbow in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences ABSTRACT Introduction: Muscle spasticity and neuropathic pain are common comorbidities after spinal cord injury (SCI) that can lead to further disability and the reduction in quality of life. Pharmacologic treatments are used as a standard of care for muscle spasticity and neuropathic pain. A possible adjunct therapy is osteopathic manual manipulation therapy. Case Report: In this case report counterstrain manual therapy was provided as a novel approach to help provide additional temporary relief of muscle spasticity and neuropathic pain. The 60-year-old African American patient with a C5 motor complete SCI completed six sessions over six months as an adjunct treatment to the standard pharmacologic care of Baclofen and Neurontin. Counterstrain manual therapy wa...

Tracking the Recovery of a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Patient utilizing a 60-s Combined Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Psychomotor Testing Approach: A Case Study by Dr. Cory M. Smith in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences

Tracking the Recovery of a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Patient utilizing a 60-s Combined Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Psychomotor Testing Approach: A Case Study by Dr. Cory M. Smith in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences Abstract Identifying and tracking the recovery of patients with mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) has remained elusive due to the lack of non-invasive, objective neuroimaging techniques. The purpose of this case study was to provide a proof of concept for performing a combined functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and 60-s psychomotor vigilance testing (60-s PVT) that can identify and track the recovery of a patient with a mTBI. The patient was a 19-year-old female acrobatics and tumbling athlete who was kicked in the left temple by a teammate. Video footage of the injury was utilized to determine the region of impact and weekly fNIRS and 60-s PVT assessments were performed throughout the 10 weeks of recovery. T...

Comparison and significance of serum 7 cytokines in children with community-acquired common pneumonia and lobar pneumonia by Shi Changsong in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences

Comparison and significance of serum 7 cytokines in children with community-acquired common pneumonia and lobar pneumonia by Shi Changsong in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences Abstracts Objective: To investigate the availability of seven serum cytokines, interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-17 (IL-17), interleukin-12-70 (IL-12P70), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) changes and significance in Common and lobular community acquired pneumonia (CAP).  Methods: Fifty-three patients admitted to our hospital from April 2022 to July 2023 were selected as the observation group. According to the degree of pneumonia, they were divided into common pneumonia group (observation group 1), lobular pneumonia group (observation group 2), and children with fever (acute upper respiratory tract infection) during the same period were selected as the control group. The clinical data of the subjects in t...
