ABSTRACT

In gynecology, endometriosis is an important pathological disorder that can be seen worldwide. It is considered an important public health problem for reproductive age women. Visceral endometriosis is a serious form of endometriosis. Thoracic endometriosis is kind of visceral endometriosis. In this report, the authors present and discuss on a case of a patient who had history of repeated spontaneous pneumothorax and finally gets the diagnosis of thoracic endometrisosis.

Radon in natural hot spring pools in Myanmar: overview

Sookaromdee P, Koko A. Radon in natural hot spring pools in Myanmar: overview. Adv Lab Med Int. 2018; 8: 40 - 42.

ABSTRACT                                                                                           

The radon is an important natural source of radiation on earth. The existence in the hot spring becomes an issue in environmental and public health concern. In this study, the authors summarize the existence of radon in hot spring pools in Myanmar, a tropical country in Indochina. Of the 5 studied hot springs, the contaminated level of radon is lower than acceptable cut-off level (range 20,000 to 150,000 becquerels m−3). The rate of hot spring that is considered safe from dangerous unacceptable high radon contamination is 100 %.

Severe hypokalemia caused by a traditional herbal remedy: a case report.

Coufal SM, Abe K. Severe hypokalemia caused by a traditional herbal remedy: a case report. Case Study Case Rep. 2018; 8(2): 44 - 46.

ABSTRACT

In Asia and Oceania, the traditional herbal remedy is widely used and accepted as a primary health care wisdom. Nevertheless, the problem of the uncontrolled non-standard remedy is usually seen. Here, the authors report a case study on severe hypokalemia caused by traditional herbal remedy. This report brings attention to recognize the possible problem of the traditional herbal remedies that exists in several countries.

ABSTRACT

Taeniasis is an important cestode infection seen in many tropical countries. The infection in pig and cow is common and the infected meat from those animals is considered not safe for ingestion and this problem is seen in many poor developing countries.  In this report, the authors report the use of Geographic information System (GIS) technology for prediction of bovine cystercosis in a rural area of Thailand in the northeastern region namely Nakornratchasrima province where there are many cow farms. The protocol for GIS prediction is the same as previously used in GIS studies on other tropical infections. First, the data on cow density and prevalence of bovine cysticercosis based on meat inspection from local Provincial Livestock Office and Public Health Office in Nakornratchasrima province were collected and these data were further used for further finding for a mathematical modeling for prediction of prevalence of bovine cysticercosis in this province. From assessment the relationship between prevalence of bovine cysticercosis derived from direct meat inspection and the density of cow population on each corresponding section within the province. According to this study, the final mathematic equation is Y = 5.2 *10^-5  X + 4.04 where Y is the predicted prevalence (%) of bovine cysticercosis and X is the number of cow population.  This equation is further used for creation of a specific map to represent the predicted prevalence of bovine cysticercosis (Figure 1). This data is an important local data on the problem of bovine cysticercosis in this area and reflects the requirement for strict food safety management. This technique can also be used for further development of model on cysticercosis in other regions.

Effects of low pressure hypoxia on oxidation - antioxidant system of athletes

EFFECTS OF LOW PRESSURE HYPOXIA ON OXIDATION – ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEM OF ATHLETES

            

Li ZZ. Effects of low pressure hypoxia on oxidation - antioxidant system of athletes. Case Study Case Rep. 2018; 8(1): 1 - 8.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this work is to study the effect of hypobaric hypoxia on the oxidative-antioxidant system of volleyball players, and to provide a safe and reliable clinical treatment for cardiovascular disease. Eight volleyball athletes trained on low altitude and low oxygen in a plateau on May 12, 2017 were listed as observation group, and 20 athletes trained in normothermic normoxia were selected. (P <0.05). The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in the brain tissue of the two groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (P <0.05), and the levels of mitochondrial malondialdehyde (MDA) And myocardial mitochondrial free Ca^{2 +} levels. The levels of SOD and CAT in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P <0.05), and the level of SOD and CAT in the observation group was the highest (P <0.05). The expression of Cygb in the observation group was higher than that in the control group. The level of Cygb in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P <0.05, t = 2.8676). The myocardial mitochondrial free Ca2 + level in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, P < 0.05, t = 5.8190. Volleyball player's oxidation-oxidation system is related to the generation of oxygen free radicals. It can be judged by monitoring the parameters such as SOD, CAT, Cygb, MDA, ATP, Ca^{2 +} and other indicators in the brain tissue during the daily life signs of athletes. According to the principle of relevance, take CIHH for treatment.

ABSTRACT

Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) indicates the association of glossoptosis, micrognathia and airway blocking. Cases immediately after birth with severe dyspnea due to upper airway blocking are very unusual with this syndrome. We reported a case with PRS who developed severe dyspnea due to morphological abnormality immediately after birth and were rescued for short time by fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation. The patient had micrognathia and cleft palate, and his tongue protruded into the nasal cavity via a cleft palate. He was diagnosed as Pierre Robin sequence due to his invaginated tongue was considered an extreme type of glossoptosis. The patient also accompanied some anomalad. Unaccepted, her chromosome analysis showed a normal configuration. Moreover, tongue protruded into the nasal cavity via a cleft palate occupied pharynx and nasal cavity, resulting in severe dyspnea. Therefore, fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation was done to secure the airway for resuscitation. PRS case with extreme type of glossoptosise require resuscitation by fiberoptic intubation immediately after birth. As such, neonatologists should obtain the skill of fiberoptic intubation.
