However, some patients may have inadequate reversal of their residual muscle paralysis. This may lead to persistent muscle paralysis despite the patient being awake from anaesthesia. A scenario of “I can’t breathe” therefore comes to play which is scary and discomforting to the affected patients. We hereby present two cases of inadequate reversal of residual muscle paralysis in our patients who underwent different procedures under general anaesthesia. The aim of this presentation is to highlight the need for adequate reversal of residual muscle paralysis, the need to routinely monitor neuromuscular function during general anaesthesia and to review the existing literature.","PeriodicalId":104623,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Case Studies, Reviews & Reports","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116731294","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 postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged at the 8th day after surgery. Our case illustrates, that delayed DH after the OLT in adults could be a new problem, which affect transplant recipients with long-term follow-up period. Hence, we consider, that once the diagnosis of DH is confirmed, the patient should be operated immediately, in order to avoid the possible life-threatening complications.","PeriodicalId":104623,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Case Studies, Reviews & Reports","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116110046","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}

We present a 70 year old male who came to our hospital for complete, acute, urinary retention, and was found to have invasive prostate cancer. Incidentally, the liver was positioned on the left side, and the spleen was located on the right side. There were multiple perisplenic nodular formations with peripheral calcifications that had enhancement kinetics similar to those of the spleen, suggesting polysplenia. In low thoracic cuts, the tip of the heart was clearly on the left side. The presence of situs ambiguus with polysplenia in the absence of cardiac abnormalities makes this case a unique presentation of an already rare condition. Clinicians should regularly consider the possibilities of anatomical variation in their medical and surgical practices.","PeriodicalId":104623,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Case Studies, Reviews & Reports","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117237730","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 management of adult onset HLH is challenging, in part due to gaps in current state of knowledge on etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management. HLH secondary to triggers such as infections, autoimmune disorders, and malignancy are more commonly seen in adults although cases of familial form have also been reported. Underlying conditions such as sepsis, or malignancy could pose as major confounders while applying universal diagnostic criteria, and therefore could lead to delay in diagnosis. Despite advent of newer therapeutic agents, outcomes of adults continue to remain poor. Future efforts need to be orchestrated to develop evidence-based tailored therapies to improve outcomes of this under recognized heterogeneous entity.","PeriodicalId":104623,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Case Studies, Reviews & Reports","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126877451","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}
