However, we found a 10-year-old girl with a history of postoperative craniopharyngioma presenting with central precocious puberty (CPP), central diabetes insipidus (CDI), and growth hormone deficiency (GHD). \u0000Case presentation: A 5-year-old girl experienced breast growth followed by menstruation six months later. The patient's weight was 19 kg (weight-for-age: P25-P50), height was 109 cm (height-for-age: P10-P25), and good nutritional status (Waterlow 90%). The stage of pubertal development was M2P2. There was a history of craniopharyngioma, and it was resected at the age of 2 years. After surgery, the patient developed CDI and has received desmopressin. No new tumour growth was found from evaluation with periodic MRIs every three years. After CPP was established, with increased serum levels of LH, FSH, and estradiol, GnRH agonist therapy was given at 100 mcg/kg BW every month. During five years of follow-up, the patient experienced clinical and laboratory improvement. However, the growth is only 3-4 cm/year (<P3) with short stature (height-for-age: <P3) and overweight. Low levels of IGF1 and GH were found in the stimulation test results, so the diagnosis of GHD was confirmed. The patient will receive growth hormone therapy and is expected to reach her potential genetic height (148.5 - 165.5 cm). \u0000Conclusion: Even though the craniopharyngioma tumour has been resected and no recurrence has occurred, it is crucial to evaluate the hormones produced by the pituitary thoroughly.","PeriodicalId":102064,"journal":{"name":"Bioscientia Medicina : Journal of Biomedicine and Translational Research","volume":"16 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139000435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This occurs due to the failure of the abdominal wall to close properly. The closure of the abdominal wall is influenced by patient-related factors and technical factors during surgery. Incisional hernia following appendectomy is a rare condition, with an incidence rate of less than 0.12%. With this case report, the author aims to contribute to the literature on strangulated incisional hernia post-appendectomy. \u0000Case presentation: A 42-year-old male presented to the emergency department with complaints of right lower abdominal pain for the past three days. The patient reported a lump that had been intermittently present for the past nine years but became persistent three days ago. The patient had a history of appendectomy nine years ago. Vital signs were relatively stable, and physical examination revealed a bluish mass measuring 10x8x4 cm in the abdomen. Radiological abdominal assessment revealed a high-level obstructive ileus. Subsequently, the patient underwent a laparotomy, and a right hemicolectomy was performed, removing a segment measuring 50 cm from the ileocecal junction to the ascending colon. \u0000Conclusion: Incisional hernia following appendectomy is a rare complication, but it can occur due to various risk factors, such as surgical site infection, improper choice of suture material, and inappropriate wound closure technique. The management of this condition can involve the use of tension-free synthetic mesh in either laparotomy or laparoscopy.","PeriodicalId":102064,"journal":{"name":"Bioscientia Medicina : Journal of Biomedicine and Translational Research","volume":"24 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138999804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increasing incidence of bacterial resistance is an indicator of failure in treating pneumonia because, apart from clinical improvement, optimal eradication of bacteria should also be the goal in every antibiotic administration.

Thoracic ultrasound can be used to guide thoracentesis procedures, chest tube placement, and aspiration of lung abscesses. Ultrasound can be substituted as a computed tomography scan (CT-Scan) as a guide for aspiration and biopsy of the lung parenchyma, pleura, and chest wall. Portable and compact ultrasonography provides the opportunity for ultrasound examinations to become a routine part of an examination, like a stethoscope. Ultrasonography also has limitations in patients with subcutaneous emphysema, peripheral edema, and obesity.
