    Abstract A bezoar is a solid mass of indigestible material that usually forms in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Gastric bezoars, located in the stomach, can present variably. They can be asymptomatic or present with GI symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or more serious complications, such as GI obstruction or perforation. Diagnostic modalities are mainly radiological, and treatment may either be conservative or interventional. Herein, we disclose the case of a 47-year-old female who presented with a two-week history of abdominal pain with an incidental finding of a possible gastric phytobezoar, co-existing with gallbladder disease. Although not previously reported, this study highlights the possibility of an association between gallbladder disease and the formation of a bezoar.

    Abstract From the mere outlook of the ongoing pandemic, coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or SARS-CoV-2) seems to target mainly the respiratory system, but more evolving evidence has advocated its multi-organ involvement. While various complications have been reported in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SP) remains an uncommon complication.

    Abstract Bilateral objective tinnitus is a rare accompanying manifestation of an underlying palatal tremor (PT). PT can either be secondary to a lesion in the triangle of Guillain and Mollaret, or it can present without a causal organic lesion. In this report, we present an unusual case of a young female with objective tinnitus revealing a PT.

    Abstract Background: Leptadenia pyrotechnica
    Methods: The 70 % methanolic
    Results: Lp.Cr. indicated high phenolic and flavonoid contents which correlated with good antioxidant activity. GC-MS analysis showed the presence of 104 compounds from different phytochemical classes. Diuretic activity was performed at 10-300 mg/kg concentrations where the dose of 100 and 300 mg/kg showed good diuretic and saluretic activity comparable to furosemide. Lp.Cr exhibited diuresis both in acute and prolonged study protocols which can be attributed to carbonic anhydrase inhibition, effect on prostaglandins and cholinergic pathways.

    Abstract Inferior vena cava (IVC) is a large collapsible vein whose diameter and extent of inspiratory collapse are known to correlate with right atrial (RA) pressures; hence, IVC dilatation represents a cardiac pathology. IVC dilatation in the absence of any cardiac involvement is termed as idiopathic. We report a case of a 39-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain and had an incidental finding of isolated IVC dilatation with diminished inspiratory collapsibility and normal RA pressures. This case report emphasizes that IVC dilatation may not always have an underlying cardiac pathology.

    Abstract Objective: The presence of albumin in the urine is a marker of glomerular involvement in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), depicting diabetic nephropathy. Strict glycemic control can prevent and delay the occurrence of microalbuminuria and other diabetic complications. Therefore, we conducted a study to report the prevalence of microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetics along with its association with diabetic control.
    Methods: A total of 133 patients with T2DM were consecutively included and their co-morbidities, body mass index, mode of treatment of diabetes (oral hypoglycemic drugs and/or insulin), duration since diagnosis of T2DM, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were recorded. A morning, mid-stream urine sample was collected and a urine spot for albumin:creatinine ratio (UACR) was assessed. Descriptive and analytic statistics were drawn with different variables and UACR values.
    Results: The mean age of the participants was 54.5 ± 10.3 years which included 60.9% males and 39.1% females. The overall incidence of diabetic nephropathy was 30.1%, with 25.6% having microalbuminuria and 4.5% having macroalbuminuria. Pearson correlation test was used to compare UACR and duration of diabetes (p=0.034) and HbA1c (p=0.001).
    Conclusion: UACR was higher in patients with uncontrolled T2DM (in terms of higher HbA1c value) and with a longer duration since diagnosis. We recommend that UACR should be inculcated in routine practice, annually, for all patients with T2DM for gauging the development of underlying renal involvement and prompt management.

    Abstract Background Migraine is amongst the top 10 most disabling conditions, and the disease burden is highest in young and middle-aged women. Another variant of the migraine headache, menstrual migraine (MM) is experienced by this cohort of patients. Former studies have done comparisons between various demographic and clinical features of MM versus menstrual-unrelated migraine (MUM) in patients presenting to various clinics with the primary complaint of headaches. We aimed to compare symptoms of migraine in women attending gynecology outpatient clinics, regardless of their presenting complaint. This would help lessen the selection bias and produce more generalizable results. Methods and materials A cross-sectional study was conducted in the outpatient gynecology clinics at a tertiary care hospital over six months. The clinic attendees were screened for sufferers of a primary headache of the migraine type. The migraineurs were then stratified into groups A, MM patients, and group B, MUM patients, using the International Headache Society (HIS) criteria. They were then questioned for the presence of various symptoms associated with their migraine attacks for comparison. Results One-hundred eighty-one women (between 12 years to 55 years) were found to have primary headaches; amongst these, 126 patients met the inclusion criteria and consented to participate; from these, 62 (49.2%) patients had MM and 64 (50.8%) patients had MUM. The symptoms of nausea (p=0.00269), photophobia (p=0.000088), and phonophobia (p=0.0281) were statistically higher in MM patients while vomiting was not a significant feature. Both groups had a predominantly unilateral headache. The average days of the attack had a significant difference between the two groups (p=0.000019), where the duration was longer for MM patients. Conclusions It was observed that patients with MM tend to experience more features associated with migraine headaches, including a longer duration of attacks, and have a worse experience overall.

    Abstract Background: Leptadenia pyrotechnica Forssk. Decne is a member of family Apocynaceae and locally known as ‘Khipp’. It is found in dry, sandy habitat of Pakistan and in several other regions around the world including Asia, Tropical Africa, Western Gulf and Mediterranean countries. It has nutritional value, containing 4 % lipids, 23 % proteins, 28 % carbohydrates, 4 % fibers, vitamin E and several minerals. Traditionally, this plant has been used by several communities for pain, different inflammatory and kidney disorders. Ethno-botanical studies have reported the use of L. pyrotechnica in nephrolithiasis, kidney disorders and induction of diuresis, which requires a detailed pharmacological study to validate the folkloric use of L. pyrotechnica as diuretic. Methods: The 70 % methanolic L. pyrotechnica (Lp.Cr) extract was prepared and qualitatively checked for the presence of various phytochemicals. Phenolic, flavonoid, tannin and saponin contents were quantified. GC-MS analysis of Lp.Cr was also performed. Antioxidant potential of Lp.Cr was evaluated by DPPH, ABTS and nitrite radical scavenging assays. CUPRAC and FRAP assay described the reducing potential of Lp.Cr. Diuretic activity was performed in both acute and prolonged models at different doses followed by the estimation of electrolytes, urea and creatinine levels. The mechanism of diuresis was described by pre-treatment with atropine, l-NAME, indomethacin and carbonic anhydrase inhibition. Results: Lp.Cr. indicated high phenolic and flavonoid contents which correlated with good antioxidant activity. GC-MS analysis showed the presence of 104 compounds from different phytochemical classes. Diuretic activity was performed at 10–300 mg/kg concentrations where the dose of 100 and 300 mg/kg showed good diuretic and saluretic activity comparable to furosemide. Lp.Cr exhibited diuresis both in acute and prolonged study protocols which can be attributed to carbonic anhydrase inhibition, effect on prostaglandins and cholinergic pathways. Conclusion: L. pyrotechnica ...
