Indirect inguinal hernia is a common surgical condition, and surgery is generally the preferred treatment option. Total situs inversus is extremely rare in clinical practice. Here, we present a case of total situs inversus with an indirect inguinal hernia.
One of the most common causes of pediatric medical visits is recurrent respiratory infections, which may become harmful for physical and mental health of growing children. The most common bacterial respiratory pathogen is Streptococcus pneumoniae, found in the nasopharynx with a potential to cause a broad spectrum of diseases, particularly if children are not immunized against it.
An open (Persistent) Foramen Ovale (PFO) is a known risk factor for the development of Decompression Illnes (DCI) in the context of scuba diving. The typical manifestations of PFO-associated DCI encompass cutaneous and vestibular symptoms. Despite this, the efficacy of PFO closure remains a subject of ongoing debate.
This review discusses recent advances in our understanding of the relationships between psychological stress, neuroendocrine-immune system, and periodontitis, including how host stress responses affect immune function, alter the oral microbiome and biofilm formation, and promote disease progression.
Over 800 million people globally are categorized as obese, defined as having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or more. About 42% of adults in the US suffer from obesity [1], and the yearly cost of obesity-related medical costs is projected to be $173 billion.
This case report describes a complex clinical scenario involving a previously healthy middle-aged woman who received ciprofloxacin for acute otitis media and subsequently developed symptoms of allergic hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis. Following an intramuscular adrenaline injection for anaphylaxis, she experienced chest pain
Anticoagulant rodenticides, a key tool in pest control since the 1940s, have undergone significant evolution to overcome resistance and improve efficacy. However, resistance in rodent populations led to the development of second-generation anticoagulants such as Brodifacoum and Difenacoum, which are more potent but pose increased risks to non-target species, including humans.
This review paper delves into the transformative potential and challenges of Machine Learning (ML) in the field of biomedical diagnostics and disease prediction. With the advent of advanced computational models and an ever-increasing availability of biomedical data, ML has the potential to revolutionize diagnostic methodologies, enhance predictive accuracy, and streamline therapeutic interventions.
Among patients with Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES), about 10% to 30% have epilepsy, which brings some difficulties in diagnosis. Usually, psychogenic non-epileptic seizures and epileptic seizures occur independently at different points in time, and their performance is similar, but rarely seizures can occur several times in a row.
Target therapy represents a significant step forward in the treatment of malignant tumors. These therapies typically address to molecular pathways essential for the growth and replication of neoplastic cells.
