As a unit, a sense of heightened vigilance needs to remain for the foreseeable future. Decisive action by departmental leadership, alongside a cohesive and open, has allowed for our trauma service to continue largely unchanged. This analysis serves as an important aide-memoire for future periods of extreme uncertainty.Statins are widely prescribed medications to prevent cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. selleck chemical Both myalgia and myopathy are well-known potential side effects of statins. However, a rare and severe form of statin-induced necrotizing autoimmune myopathy (SINAM) has recently been described and can lead to debilitating weakness, often requiring immunosuppressive therapy. We report a case of a 73-year-old male who made a complete recovery from SINAM following a three-month course of prednisone monotherapy.Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common treatable psychiatric illnesses that affect all age groups from children to adults. Most commonly it is diagnosed in childhood or during teenage years. It can affect the mental and physical health of an individual and disrupt normal academic, career, and social functioning. The quality of life of the individual is affected; thus if diagnosed and treated, the results are good. Obesity and eating disorders are one of the comorbidities associated with ADHD and can lead to various other health problems. This study was done to find out the association between ADHD, obesity, eating disorders, and the effect of medication. We collected data from various studies through multiple electronic databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar. We found 8610 relevant articles and finally narrowed it down to 30 using various criteria. An association was found between ADHD, obesity, and eating disorders, although the mechanism linking ADHD, obesity, and eating disorders still remains unclear according to most studies. Some studies say ADHD medication helps in losing gained weight; some say they do not affect the weight.During the current coronavirus pandemic, significant emphasis has been placed on the importance of mitigating nosocomial spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). One important consideration involves the appropriate use of effective personal protective equipment (PPE), which may reduce a healthcare provider's likelihood of becoming infected while simultaneously minimizing exposure to other patients that they care for. This may reduce demands placed on the healthcare system and help to preserve the workforce. First, the importance of PPE design cannot be underestimated, as the manufacturing process must strive to maximize protection of the user while ensuring adequate comfort. Second, it has been demonstrated that inadequate education and training can significantly impact compliance with PPE recommendations. Technique regarding donning and doffing of PPE is crucial to the protection of those who don it. The purpose of this technical report is two-fold first, to describe some important considerations in the manufacturing and design process of face shields to maximize protection for healthcare providers, and second, to describe a simulation scenario that may be used to train healthcare workers in the appropriate donning and doffing of PPE.Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a mutation in the alpha-galactosidase A (GLA) gene, leading to the deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A enzyme. The natural history of the affected patients (both males and females) includes neurovascular complications, such as cerebrovascular disease at a relatively young age. The pathophysiology behind the vascular involvement is primarily attributed to the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide and its derivatives in the vascular endothelium and vascular smooth muscle cells. MRI is the gold standard radiological investigation to detect the white matter lesions characteristic of Fabry disease's neurological involvement. More studies should focus on the utility of universally screening patients with young stroke for Fabry disease and the effectiveness of enzyme replacement therapy to prevent stroke. This review offers a synopsis of the current knowledge of the pathophysiology, neuroradiology, treatment, and prognosis of cerebrovascular disease in Fabry patients.Remote cerebellar hemorrhage (RCH) is a rare complication following cranial or spinal neurosurgical procedures. Traditionally, RCH has been associated with frontal or frontotemporal craniotomy with supine patient positioning. Though the exact etiology is unknown, theories have described patient positioning and excessive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage intra-operatively as contributing factors to cerebellar displacement (cerebellar sag), obstruction of venous flow, and pathogenesis of RCH. We report two cases of RCH following a prone, suboccipital craniotomy-C1 laminectomy and a temporal burr hole evacuation of a subdural hygroma. In each case, a large volume of CSF was rapidly evacuated intra-operatively. To the best of our knowledge, both instances represent relatively rare settings for RCH. Additionally, we conducted a comprehensive literature review of PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science for all cases of RCH in which peri-operative CSF leakage was explicitly detailed. Although RCH is thought to be a rare complication of frontotemporal and frontal craniotomies, this case report signifies that RCH may occur in the setting of sub-occipital craniotomy or even after minimally invasive burr hole procedures. For these procedures, careful symptomatic monitoring and follow-up imaging remain essential in diagnosis. Controlled CSF drainage may be useful in mediating dramatic alterations in intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebellar sag contributing to RCH.Background Adolescent pregnancy is a high-risk condition that can potentially lead to adverse perinatal and obstetric outcomes. It is a growing concern in developing countries including Sri Lanka. The main objective of this study was to evaluate obstetric and perinatal outcomes amongst adolescent pregnancies and compare them with outcomes of pregnancies of average maternal age (AMA) women. Method This was a prospective, cross-sectional study conducted at a tertiary care hospital in the Eastern province of Sri Lanka. A total of 795 primigravidae who had singleton pregnancies and delivered their live babies over a period of three months from February to April 2019 were selected for the study. The data were retrieved from Bed Head Tickets (BHTs) of those patients upon discharge from the postnatal ward. Results The majority of primigravida was AMA women and accounted for 83.4% (n=663) of the study population while primiparous adolescents comprised 16.6% (n=132). Among the 132 adolescent pregnancies, 81.1% (n=107) were associated with complications and the remaining 18.
