Iatrogenic burns are unpleasant and sometimes difficult to explain to patients. Podiatric surgeons routinely use electrosurgical devices to cut and coagulate tissue during surgical procedures. Although advances in technology have made electrosurgery...

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a clonal, rare, complement-mediated hemolytic anemia. PNH can be associated with marrow failure and thrombophilia. We present a clinical report of splenic vein thrombosis in a patient with classic PNH. A 4...

Indications for cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are increasing. Almost one-third of device-related infections are endocarditis. Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) has emerged as an effective and safe approach for treating device-related...

Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare and aggressive cancer affecting the parathyroid glands, presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its rarity and overlapping features with benign parathyroid disease. This report describes the case o...

Background: FV Leiden is an autosomal dominant disease, representing one of the most prevalent genetic causes for hereditary thrombophilia manifested by venous thromboembolism. Methods: We report a case of a 30-year-old patient who was admitted for e...

Spasm of near reflex (SNR) involves intermittent spasm of one or more of the three near reflex components. Psychiatric disorders are one cause of SNR. We describe a patient with SNR diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A 36-year-old male wi...

Black esophagus or acute esophageal necrosis is characterized by circumferential black discoloration of the distal esophageal mucosa. It is a rare condition with a multifactorial pathogenesis, and its most common clinical presentation is acute upper...

In 1957, Arvid Carlsson discovered that dopamine, at the time believed to be nothing more than a norepinephrine precursor, was a brain neurotransmitter in and of itself. By 1963, postsynaptic dopamine blockade had become the cornerstone of psychiatri...

Accidental soft tissue injuries are a frequent injury. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an interesting therapeutic option for wounds and skin damage. In this case report, we describe a 37-year-old man that presented to our ward of pain medicine for an a...

Klippel–Trenanauy syndrome (KTS) is a rare genetic disease determined by overexpression of the phosphatidylinositol-4-5-bisphosphate 3 kinase catalytic subunit (PIK3CA) gene. The clinical presentation is characterized by venous and capillary ma...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is well known to often improve with non-supine positioning as opposed to supine positioning. Emerging research supports a role for sleep position management in patients with central sleep apnea (CSA) as well. We report a...

Background: Poor clinical outcomes in patients with severe COVID-19 occur due to many factors that require elucidation. The objective of this study was to describe the outcomes of critically ill patients with COVID-19 and identify the risk factors fo...

The chromosome 17q21.31 microduplication syndrome is a rare genetic syndrome presenting with craniofacial dysmorphisms, psychomotor delay, microcephaly, behavioral disorders, and poor social interaction. Only ten patients have been reported in the li...
