Abstract

Introduction: Dyslipidaemia is an important risk factor for coronary artery disease. Oxidative damage to plasma lipoproteins ultimately results in the development of atherosclerosis. Since Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) is a cytoprotective molecule in oxidative stress, decreased H2S levels may be a cause of dyslipidaemia. Aim: To determine the relationship between the serum levels of H2S with serum Triglycerides (TG), Total Cholesterol (TC), and High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) in cases of dyslipidaemia. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2022 and June 2023 in the Departments of Biochemistry and Medicine at KPC Medical College, Jadavpur, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Serum lipid profile {TC, TGs, HDL-C, and Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) (calculated by Friedewald’s equation)} and serum H2S were measured in 70 cases of dyslipidaemia {according to National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria} aged between 30 to 80 years and compared with an equal number of healthy volunteers as controls. The means of continuous variables were compared by independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests. The Chi-square test was applied to compare gender distribution. Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation coefficients were calculated for normal and non normal distributions, respectively. Results: The mean age of dyslipidaemic patients (54.54 years±11.19) was significantly (p=0.0017) higher than that of the controls (47.02 years±16.18). Among the 70 cases of dyslipidaemia, 38 participants were male and 32 were female, while among the healthy controls (n=70), 42 participants were male and 28 were female. The serum H2S levels in cases of dyslipidaemia (37.91±6.28 μmol/L) were significantly lower than in the healthy controls (58.52±12.92, p<0.01 μmol/L). A significant positive correlation was found between serum H2S levels and HDL-cholesterol (r=0.81, p<0.001), whereas a negative correlation was found between serum H2S and TG levels (r=-0.55, p<0.001). Conclusion: In the present study, dyslipidaemia was associated with decreased levels of serum H2S . Serum H2S was positively correlated with serum HDL and negatively correlated with serum TG levels.

Abstract

The article describes the case of a five-week old infant with hypothermia and abnormal eye movements. The patient exhibited cerebral calcifications, generalized parenchymal atrophy and dilation of the bilateral lateral ventricles with patent basal cisterns and coarse supratentorial calcifications involving the cortex, bilateral basal ganglia and the vermis. She was treated with pyrimethamine, sulfadiazine and folinic acid for congenital toxoplasmosis.

25. A Rare Case of Cardiac Myxoma With Moyamoya Phenomenon: A Disease or Syndrome?

Author

Konduru RA, Prasad A, Cheriyath P, and Okere A

Abstract

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare, idiopathic, progressive, obstructive, vasculopathy affecting primarily the terminal portions of the intracerebral internal carotid arteries, typically at the base of the brain. It is more commonly seen in people of East Asian descent. The moyamoya phenomenon refers to the characteristic appearance of the tangle of fine blood vessels, also described as a puff of smoke. Moyamoya syndrome (MMS) refers to the constriction-induced chronic brain ischemia that is believed to cause overexpression of proangiogenic factors, creating a fragile network of collateral capillaries. MMS refers to the moyamoya phenomenon in the presence of other congenital or acquired disorders. Intracerebral hemorrhage is the leading cause of death for MMS patients. Overall, the prognosis is variable. Cardiac myxoma can cause embolization of tumor cells, plaques, and thrombus, and recurrent thromboembolism can lead to chronic brain ischemia, which can lead to the development of collaterals. There have been cases reported where the moyamoya phenomenon resolved following myxoma resection. Here, we present the case of a female who had intraventricular bleeding and was diagnosed with MMD. Eighteen months later, she presented with shortness of breath and was diagnosed with cardiac myxoma with multiple valvular regurgitations. The myxoma was surgically removed., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2024, Konduru et al.)

27. A Rare Case of Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS) Involving the Upper Limb in a Patient on Warfarin.

Author

Machchhar RR, Prasad A, Ghodasara K, Patel SH, and Cheriyath P

Abstract

Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is an acute event characterized by increased pressure in the extremities where fascia encloses muscles, vessels, and nerves, leading to complications in tissue perfusion and, eventually, tissue necrosis and death. This is usually seen after trauma, crush injuries, and fractures. Similar events can also happen in the abdomen and lead to impaired perfusion in the abdominal organs. Hypovolemia, medications, and repeated or suboptimal diagnostic tests tend to worsen a pre-existing ACS, and the mainstay of its management is fasciotomy to prevent ischemic necrosis and rhabdomyolysis. Here we discuss a 64-year-old female with ACS involving the left upper limb, secondary to anticoagulation on warfarin and aspirin for atrial fibrillation. Her history was significant for peripheral vascular disease, above-knee amputation, and congestive heart failure. This article emphasizes the importance of early recognition and management of ACS to salvage limbs., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2022, Machchhar et al.)

29. Yersinia Enterocolitica Sepsis in an Elderly Male With No Iron Overload: A Case Report From the Northeastern United States.

Abstract

Yersinia enterocolitica (YE) is a facultative anaerobic gram-negative coccobacillus of the genus Yersinia (the most common ones are YE serogroups O:3; O:5,27; O:8; and O:9 ). Its incubation period is typically 1-14 days. The symptoms of YE infection include fever, abdominal pain (which may mimic appendicitis), and diarrhea (which may be bloody and can persist for several weeks). It is most commonly reported in infants and children due to cross-contamination of their feeds and pacifiers by people handling pork products, especially while cooking chitterlings. Necrotizing enterocolitis has been described in infants following YE infections. Adults who are immunocompromised or in an iron-overload state can develop sepsis with YE  infection, which has a high fatality rate. Post-infectious sequelae like reactive arthritis and erythema nodosum can occur in certain HLA types. The diagnosis is made by isolating the organism from the body fluids, stool. The gastrointestinal (GI) pathogen panel by polymerase chain reaction   (PCR) is helpful in making an early diagnosis. In this report, we discuss a case of an elderly male from a nursing facility who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, GI bleeding, and sepsis. He required a brief ICU stay and pressor support. GI pathogen panel was instrumental in the early diagnosis of YE . This condition is not often reported in the Northeastern US. Using GI pathogen PCR testing will lead to the detection of more cases of YE in geographical regions where it was not considered prevalent., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2022, Alnabwani et al.)
