Triclonal Gammopathy in Multiple Myeloma with Bleeding Diathesis: A Case Report
ConclusionIn plasma cell dyscrasias and lymphoproliferative diseases, monoclonal gammopathies are often observed, while the biclonal variety is less frequent. However, tri clonal gammopathy having a combination of IgM Kappa, IgG Kappa, and IgA Lambda is extremely rare and their clinical significance is unknown.

Successful embolization of a clinically significant pulmonary arteriovenous malformation
We present the clinical case of a 59-year-old female patient with dyspnoea and a history of peripheral desaturation, which was detected in the perioperative period 4 years earlier. Although she didn't present any typical symptoms such as platypnea, epistaxis, telangiectasias or hemoptysis, the chest-CT scan was compatible with the diagnosis of pulmonary arteriovenous malformation. An angiography confirmed the diagnosis and a selective embolization of the affe rent artery was performed with resolution of symptoms. AbstractThe authors present the clinical case of a 59-year-old female patient with a history of peripheral d...

Demographic Profile and Etiology of Epistaxis
AbstractEpistaxis is common worldwide otorhinolaryngology emergency presenting as a life-threatening condition especially in resource-constrained hospitals with limited health-care facilities for acceptable management. The aim of this study is to find out the common causes of epistaxis. It was a cross sectional study. It was carried out on 304 patients who presented with epistaxis at tertiary care hospital of Central India (Peoples College of Medical Science& Research Centre, Bhopal). It was found that among 304 participants, maximum number of patients with epistaxis were of age group 21 –30 years i.e. 66 (21.71%) wi...

Comparative Study of Topical Application of Injection Tranexamic Acid and Anterior Nasal Packing in the Management of Epistaxis
AbstractEpistaxis, defined as bleeding from the nose, is one of the common ENT cases coming to emergency department. Epistaxis is experienced by at least 60% of the population once in their life time and about 6% of them will require medical attention. The different treatment modalities include: local pressure, application of topical vasoconstrictor substances, or nasal packing depending on personal physician preference. Tranexamic acid (TXA), a synthetic analogue of the amino acid lysine, belongs to a class of drugs known as antifibrinolytics. It acts by reversibly binding four to five lysine receptor sites on plasminogen...

A randomized comparison of three intubation techniques/tube materials for nasotracheal intubation
CONCLUSIONS: Among the three intubation techniques/tube materials for nasotracheal intubation, the velvet-soft PVC tube provided the highest first-attempt success rate, most expeditious advancement into the oral cavity, and lowest incidence of epistaxis.STUDY REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04695444); first submitted 30 December 2020.PMID:38548948 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-024-02743-z (Source: Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia)
