Fournier’s gangrene (FG) is an acute rapidly progressing infective necrotizing fasciitis of the genital, perineal and perianal regions which carries high mortality rates. We report here a case of an early diagnosis of FG by an emergency ultrasound examination in an 85 -year old gentleman and its successful outcome with early aggressive wound debridement along with broad-spectrum antibiotics. High index of clinical suspicion along with urgent ultrasound imaging clinches an early diagnosis. Sonologist detected air pockets in the subcutaneous tissues of the perineal area.

Parasitism is the association between living beings, where there is unilaterality of benefits.

Parkinson's disease is a universal progressive neurological disease, being a more common neurodegenerative disease in the population between 58 and 69 years old. It is constituted as a disease by the degeneration of the black base substance, where a dopamine is synthesized, associated to the presence of cytoplasmic molecules formed by the accumulation of proteins such as Lewy corpuscles. The choice of treatment depends on the functional deficit and response to the treatment already used.

Over time, historical facts have further strengthened the need and importance of scientific research in public health, helping to better understand demographic and epidemiological health-disease transitions, monitoring technical and technological developments, and supervising quality and access health services and the negative impacts they imply on global health.

Background: Febrile seizures are the most common seizures of childhood, aged between 6 months to 5 years. Pathophysiology of febrile seizure remains unknown, but reduction in serum and cerebrospinal fluid zinc levels, and low gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) levels are thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of febrile seizure occurrence or recurrence. Objective: To find out the serum zinc level in children with simple febrile convulsion , and its relationship with age, sex, duration of fever and the causes of febrile illness.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate some biochemical changes of the liver enzymes in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 to measured aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase enzymes. Methods: The study was carried out using fifty blood samples collected from Medical Diabetic Center in Medani, between 1. July to September 2018. Samples collected in heparinized tubes and were centrifuged for unhemolyzed serum collection for assessment of liver enzymes, alanine aminotransferase enzymes & aspartate aminotransferase.

The main objective of this work was the investigation of possible influences of the urban heat islands in the increase of breathing diseases in children up to four years. The study area was the city of Vitória da Conquista, located in the Southwest of Bahia, Brazil, in the which, historically, the incidence of this kind of disease is the largest in the state and in the country of Brazil.

The Mucocele or Mucus retention phenomenon is a salivary gland lesion of traumatic origin, formed when the main duct of a minor salivary gland is torn with subsequent extravasation of the mucus into the fibrous connective tissue so that a cyst like cavity is produced. The wall of this cavity is formed by compressed bundles of collagen fibrils and it is filled with mucin.
