This case report demonstrates that a custom-fitted elastic orthosis (B.E.L.T.), when integrated into a multimodal conservative management program, effectively reduced pain and improved quality of life in a 66-year-old woman with symptomatic adult scoliosis, suggesting its potential as a viable non-invasive treatment option pending further controlled studies.
This case report describes a rare instance of isolated retroperitoneal infection following an uncomplicated laparoscopic appendectomy in a young male, highlighting the importance of considering this diagnosis in patients with unexplained postoperative fever and lumbago, and demonstrating successful management through CT-guided drainage and targeted antibiotics.
This case report illustrates the diagnostic challenge of persistent delirium in a 75-year-old woman with Parkinson's-plus syndrome following an acute ischemic stroke, highlighting that such delirium often results from a complex interplay of neurodegeneration, structural brain injury, and infection rather than a single precipitating cause.
This paper presents a case study of a 36-year-old female with severe Hurley Stage III hidradenitis suppurativa, demonstrating that while surgical excision serves as a cornerstone treatment, successful management of advanced disease requires a comprehensive approach combining multiple surgeries, tailored antibiotic therapy, and vigilant postoperative care to control inflammation and recurrence.
This case report describes a 30-year-old male who developed cerebral venous thrombosis following a Varicella Zoster infection, highlighting the importance of considering this rare but life-threatening vascular complication in young patients presenting with acute neurological deficits after VZV.
This case report describes a rare instance of life-threatening diffuse coronary vasospasm refractory to medical therapy following minimally invasive mitral valve replacement in a patient with an anomalous right coronary artery, which was successfully treated with emergency surgical revascularization.
This case report demonstrates that an intermittent reduced-dose methotrexate strategy successfully enabled the continuation of induction therapy and achieved long-term remission in a patient with primary central nervous system lymphoma who experienced severe delayed methotrexate elimination and acute kidney injury following the initial high-dose treatment.
This case report describes a rare instance of delayed-onset eosinophilic fasciitis occurring five months after adjuvant pembrolizumab treatment for renal cell carcinoma, highlighting the need for long-term monitoring of immune-related adverse events even after therapy cessation.
This case report describes a 20-year-old man in Iran whose severe *Plasmodium vivax* malaria, initially misdiagnosed as systemic lupus erythematosus due to fever and infection-induced autoantibodies, was correctly identified and treated after bone marrow examination revealed parasitization, highlighting the importance of considering malaria in febrile illnesses with cytopenia even when autoimmune serology is positive.
This study of 65 adults with Fibrous Dysplasia or McCune-Albright syndrome reveals that while overall health-related quality of life shows mixed stability and decline over a median 7.5-year follow-up, a distinct high-risk subgroup (approximately 30%) experiences severe progressive deterioration that can be identified early by a baseline EQ-5D index score below 0.5.
