    Abstract The Holy Communion is the oldest Christian practice, through which a gathered group of people partake bread and wine with a shared spoon. The pandemic of COVID-19 produced unexpected social instability and chaos. In Greece, a recent bishop's death from COVID-19 re-awaked the issue of infection transmission by using a common chalice and spoon. This review evaluates the available medical literature on this topic from the beginning of the pandemic until today.

    Abstract Peripheral blood eosinophilia represents a frequent finding in routine clinical practice when absolute eosinophil count is found to be greater than 0.5 x 109/L (500/µL). Common causes include parasitic infections, allergic reactions, and hyper-eosinophilic syndrome. Eosinophilia secondary to malignancy represents an uncommon presentation. Here we report an atypical case of a 47-year-old previously healthy male who presented to a primary care setting complaining of fatigue and anorexia for the last two weeks. The evaluation revealed leucocytosis and peripheral hypereosinophilia with an absolute eosinophil count of 14.13×109/L (37%). Following an extensive diagnostic work in a secondary care centre he was finally diagnosed with rectal carcinoma. This case highlights that solid malignancy should be considered in patients with marked peripheral eosinophilia.

    Abstract The Holy Communion originated in the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, nearly 2,000 years ago. According to the Bible, the night before his crucifixion, Jesus Christ shared with his 12 apostles a meal of bread and wine. During the meal, Christ instructed his disciplines to eat and drink in his memory, saying that bread is his body and wine is his blood. Today, faithful people worldwide share the consecrated bread and wine retracted from a chalice with a Holy Communion spoon. The novel coronavirus that emerged in December 2019 recorded a rapid exponential spread across space and time. The ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease has affected people from all cultures and religions. In Greece, the pandemic concurred with the Easter celebration. Measures of social distancing have been implemented. Among others, churches have closed their doors to the public in order to avoid religious mass gatherings. The issue of the novel coronavirus transmission by partaking Holy Communion has received much criticism. In this review, we aimed to retrieve articles that summarize the current knowledge on the selected topic. In order to offer a balanced analysis of the subject, we have also assessed the theological framework of the Holy mystery.

    Abstract Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder resulting from the inability of the thyroid gland to produce sufficient thyroid hormone for the metabolic demands of the body. Clinical symptoms and signs are often non-specific and subtle. Muscular symptoms are frequently reported. Rhabdomyolysis is a life-threatening condition caused by necrosis of muscles and leakage of toxic intracellular components into the blood circulation. Hypothyroidism induced rhabdomyolysis, represents an unusual clinical occurrence. This is a case of a middle-aged man, who presented with severe myalgias, following an intramuscular injection. After laboratory work-up, he was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis. Laboratory and ultrasound tests disclosed primary hypothyroidism of auto-immune etiology.

    Abstract Neoplastic diseases are commonly paired with a wide range of non-specific clinical symptoms. Even the most alarming complaints pose a low positive predictive value making diagnosis of an underlying malignancy a major detective challenge for the primary care physician. Therefore, although cancer may be suspected for not be missed, as management failure within primary care, diagnosis usually occurs in the context of a secondary care setting. Here we present a case of a patient seeking medical advice from his general practitioner due to a two-week history of back thoracic pain. Following investigations, the patient was early diagnosed with myeloma. Current notion of target-driven laboratory tests utility that may be used as possible clues for the detection of multiple myeloma at a primary care level is also discussed to enhance capacity.

    Abstract Long QT syndrome is characterized by prolongation of the corrected QT interval and is associated with fatal arrhythmias. R on T phenomenon is the coincidence of a premature ventricular complex with a T wave and may result to syncope and sudden cardiac death. Here we present a case of a 59-year-old woman with no previous history of medication, receiving moxifloxacin for community-acquired pneumonia. She was admitted complaining for thoracic pain and shortness of breath. Electrocardiogram showed both R on T phenomenon and QT prolongation. After discontinuation of the antibiotic symptoms and electrocardiography features were resolved. Physicians should always be vigilant about this rare and potentially fatal adverse drug reaction especially in high risk patients. General practitioners in particular being the first point of access in care have to carefully assess and detect high risk patients before the administration of moxifloxacin.

    Abstract Lipomas of the gastrointestinal tract are uncommon, benign non-epithelial tumors detected incidentally during surgery or endoscopy. Rectal lipomas are extremely rare. Patients may be asymptomatic or present with rectal bleeding, constipation, tenesmus and signs of intestinal obstruction. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging. Management consists of simple observation, endoscopic or laparoscopic removal, and open surgery. We present a case of an elderly male admitted to the Department of Surgery of a general hospital in Crete, complaining of a protruding rectal mass during defecation. CT raised the diagnostic suspicion. The mass was removed by trans-anal excision. Histopathology of the resected specimen confirmed the diagnosis. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and was discharged home at the second postoperative day.
