Despite clinical and radiological knowledge, it remains a surprise for the surgeon. We are reporting through these two observations the diagnostic difficulties of this condition would lead to an inappropriate treatment as well as to a more severe disease. Observations: Two patients (52 and 57 years old), one of whom is followed fortype 2 diabetes mellitus , were hospitalized for pyonephrosis due to obstructive pyelic and ureteral lithiasis. The pyonephrosis was revealed by a chronic loin pain in a febrile context and confirmed by urogramme showing a destruction of the renal parenchyma, dilated pyelocaliceal cavities with rounded formations of pseudo-tumoral appearance on the lithiasis obstacles. Our initialtreatment consisted of percutaneous nephrostomy under antibiotic covering and secondarily of nephro-ureterectomy without bladder flange performed six weeks later. Histopathology studies showed diffuse xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. The postoperative follow up was simple in both cases. Conclusion: Xantogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare, severe and chronic form of pyelonephritis whose diagnosis is always histological. Its clinical picture is no specific, hence the problem is that it poses achalleng of differential diagnosis with renal tumors and urogenital tuberculosis. Its treatment is based on nephrectomy.","PeriodicalId":206465,"journal":{"name":"SAR Journal of Medical Case Reports","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127279132","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}

People and the country suffer huge financial losses as a result of shorter working hours. Before treating these patients, a thorough examination is required. A lack of medical or surgical treatment may aggravate symptoms. The goal of this study is to determine if acupuncture has any impact on the symptoms of PLID. This inquiry took place at Suo-Xi Hospital, Shaan Tower, Chamelibagh, Santinagar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. A 43-year-old female patient has been experiencing low back discomfort that radiates down her left leg for the last four months. The diagnosis was confirmed with an MRI of the cervical spine. The follow-up research yielded good findings. After suffering from lower back discomfort for the previous five months, the patient felt much better on the second day of acupuncture and the reduced low back pain was no longer existent. Patients with PLID may benefit from acupuncture, according to this research.","PeriodicalId":206465,"journal":{"name":"SAR Journal of Medical Case Reports","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122089278","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}

Zinc supplementation affected bronchial mucosal epithelial integrity, both under normal and zinc deficient conditions that there was an interaction between the individual zinc status. The other, zinc ions inhibit COVID-19 lung inflammation and promote platelet activation function that inhibits pulmonary thromboembolism, in which platelets could respond to changes in extracellular and intracellular Zn2+ concentration. Zinc-induced platelet aggregation, low concentrations of ZnSO4 and zinc chelation involve platelet activation and potentiated platelet aggregation, in which Zn2+ plays a major role in the regulation of coagulation that zinc inhibit blood coagulation against COVID-19 infection. Zn2+ can modulate platelet and coagulation activation pathways, including fibrin formation that the release of ionic Zn2+ store contributes to the procoagulant role of Zn2+ in platelet-dependent fibrin formation. Further, zinc may reduce neurological resultings in COVID-19 patients that Zn2+ promotes inflammatory cytokine as a neurodegenerative disorder and the coronaviruses can affect the nervous system through blood circulation, causing neuro-inflammation. Zinc ions can inhibit inflammation, platelet behaviour function, and blood coagulation. Hence, zinc ions promote neurological anti-thrombosis formation during ROS production and excessive oxidative stress against COVID-19 infection. Persistent zinc intake for severe aggravation of COVID-19 has been suggested to be 8–11 mg/day for adults (upper intake level 40 mg/day) and suggesting that a zinc intake of 30–70 mg/day might aid in the RNA virus control. Accordingly, Zn2+ ions-binding molecular mechanism has been clarified that Zn2+ ions may be bound with COVID-19 inflammatory, platelet, coagulation, and thrombus various proteins by Zn2+ ions-centered tetrahedrally binding protein molecular coordination pattern.","PeriodicalId":206465,"journal":{"name":"SAR Journal of Medical Case Reports","volume":"451 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130221900","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}
