The cardinal signs in Van der Woude syndrome are congenital lower lip pits, cleft lip with or without cleft palate, and isolated cleft palate. Hypodontia is a cardinal feature that is associated with this syndrome. Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED) is a rare group of inherited disorders manifested with a defect in hair, skin, teeth, and eccrine glands. In ED there are defects in the development of tissues derived from primary embryonic ectodermal derivatives. Dry skin and sparse hair are common features seen in these patients. Partial or complete absence of teeth is reported in ectodermal dysplasia. This is a case report of an 18-year-old male with combined features of Van der Woude Syndrome (VWS) and Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (HED). The patient was surgically managed for the cleft lip at an early age.","PeriodicalId":187008,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Clinical and Medical Case Reports","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115814644","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}

Among platelet indices, Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) demonstrates the changes in rate of platelet production. Increase in MPV is seen in metabolic syndrome, stroke and diabetes. In these 100 diabetics and 100 control subjects were taken and their HbA1c was correlated with the MPV level of these subjects. A significant correlation was found between the MPV and Hba1c levels. Hence raised MPV levels can be used as an early indicator for the complications of diabetes.","PeriodicalId":187008,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Clinical and Medical Case Reports","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134269258","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}

Despite the progress made with regards to the design of the flexible ureteroscopes, surgeons still need to work with suboptimal ergonomics, which may result in orthopedic complaints, which as a result lead to imperfect performance. Robotic- Assisted FURS with Avicenna Roboflex has provided significant improvement of ergonomics. The Super Pulse Thulium Fiber Laser (SPTFL) may be considered as a viable alternative to holmium laser in stone management. Coronavirus Disease- 19 (Covid-19) has been declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. As a result, many hospitals have been converted to dedicated facilities to manage the Covid-19 patients. Urinary stone disease represents a benign condition, but in non-negligible number of cases, it can lead to potential severe septic complications that could increase the burden on emergency services. Many surgical specialties including urology has made short pathways for patient flow to decrease the contact with the patients which in turn will decrease the possibility of transmission of Covid-19. The use of new technologies such as Avicenna Roboflex and thulium fiber laser in Covid-19 positive patients when performing flexible ureteroscopy can minimize direct contact with the patient, expedite the procedure, while protecting the staff from getting Covid-19 infection.","PeriodicalId":187008,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Clinical and Medical Case Reports","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131150993","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}
