Deep corneal ulcers of four brachycephalic dogs were treated by a modified surgical technique using small intestinal submucosa (SIS). SIS was cut to exact size of the defect but not sutured. Afterwards a temporary nictitating membrane flap was placed. The outcome was very good in all cases.

We describe a case of ICM implantation in a 74-year-old woman with SIT and ESUS for detection of AF. ICM implantation was performed successfully without any complications. AF was detected at 28 days after ICM insertion. ICMs can be safely implanted in patients with SIT, allowing successful detection of AF.

Tracheal stenosis can be a disastrous consequence of prolonged endotracheal intubation. In the COVID-19 era, vigilance must be maintained not to overlook this complication.

A 23-year-old male that evolved to complete bilateral post-nuclear facial paralysis (House & Brackman Grade VI) after be involved in automobile accident followed by bilateral temporal bone fracture. The patient undergone a facial decompression surgery after performed an ENoG on the 18th day revealing bilateral absence of muscular response.

It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between multiple cancers and metastases using only diagnostic imaging, particularly when multiple hypervascular tumors are found in multiple organs. In such cases, preoperative histological evaluation may be essential for determining the management of tumors.

There is evidence of increased incidence, rapid progression, and poor prognosis of Covid-19 in patients with underlying comorbidities such as diabetes and epilepsy. It is crucial to develop effective treatment regimens for these patients. Multiple organ failure is the most common cause of death in Covid-19 patients.

we reported an18 years old male with beta thalassemia major who presented with back pain progressive over 1 month associated with numbness in thighs, together with lower limbs weakness and difficulty walking. he also mentioned having difficulty in passing urine. he received radiotherapy which results in significant improvement in symptoms

A 63-year-old woman was diagnosed with a giant atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) protruding into the right atrium and thrombus attached to the left side of the ASA pouch. We surgically resected the ASA, and the resection site was closed with pericardial patch. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Isolated pulmonary valve infective endocarditis (PVIE) is very rare, with a frequency of 1.6-2.7% of all endocarditis cases. We report the case of a patient who underwent successful pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) with a bio-prosthetic valve to treat isolated PVIE.

We report a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) induced by diffuse fear of the COVID-19 pandemia and aggravated to ventricular fibrillation. After succesfull resuscitation the patient developed temporarily a J-wave after event. Though potentially live threatening in the acute phase both J-wave and TTC are reversible with receding of edema.

We experienced a case with accidental aspiration of a metallic round foreign body. As there is no established techniquefor retrieving a metallic round ball from an airway, we propose that endoscopic net forceps with the support of a laryngeal mask airway is the best choice for such occasions.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is n emerging infectious disease. There may be a correlation between heatstroke and severity of COVID-19. In cases where heat stress caused by COVID-19 promotes organ failure, the proactive regulation of body temperature may be considered as an effective treatment option.

We report a case of synchronous p16+ squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) involving both the nasopharynx(NPC) and base of tongue treated at our institution. PET/CT suggested a likely occult lesion in the nasopharynx and adenoidectomy was required for confirmation of p16+ NPC

Chylothorax is a well-recognized but uncommon complication during the postoperative period following the repair of left congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Conservative management with close monitoring of chylothorax output and patient status seems superior to surgery in managing this complication.

DS-ALL patients have a higher rate of relapse and treatment-related mortality. We describe a DS-ALL patient with late bone marrow relapse who was treated per British ALL R3 reinduction chemotherapy. The patient remained in remission for approximately two years after therapy was discontinued due to severe systemic infections.

Background The theory of “hit and run” raises a possibility of novel COVID19-associated Parkinsonism cases, as well as worsening of symptoms in patients with pre-existing Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Aim/method To demonstrate that the COVID19 infection may lead to long lasting immunological and neurological changes at PD patients.

Abiotrophia defectiva (A defectiva), a rare cause of bacterial infective endocarditis(IE) often presents with pyrexia and florid sepsis. This case highlights that A defectiva IE can present non-specifically in older frail patients without classical clinical findings. A. defectiva may be associated with a high proportion of culture-negative IE.
