A rare cause of headache-the importance of a tissue diagnosis and perseverance
A 64 year old diabetic hypertensive milkman presented in September 2011 with 4 months progressive constant right frontotemporal retro–orbital pain. It was worse at night affecting sleep with slight right field blurring and later vomiting. Full examination including blood pressure was normal with acuities 6/9. Tension type headache was considered. Initial brain CT was reported as normal. With concern about giant cell arteritis steroids were trialled although ESR was 8 and CRP 25 with no other clinical features: pain reduction was short–lived and temporal artery biopsy negative. Symptoms worsened despite analgesi...

Portal venous air embolization.
Abstract To the Editor A 74-year-old lady was diagnosed with an inoperable gallbladder carcinoma with peritoneal deposits and acute cholangitis. As a palliative procedure, the patient was taken up for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) which was performed under conscious sedation with the patient placed in a semi-prone position. 7F-biliary stents were successfully placed in the bile duct, however, note was made of inadvertent air entry into the portal vein. Spot-radiograph taken with the patient in semi-prone position (Figure-1) reveals an iatrogenic pneumovenogram (arrows). The procedure was im...

Perioperative outcomes of goal-directed versus conventional fluid therapy in radical cystectomy with enhanced recovery protocol
ConclusionStroke volume variation guided goal-directed fluid therapy is safe in radical cystectomy without compromising the renal function. It is associated with less intra- and perioperative fluid infusion; however, no association with hospital stay, 90-day complication or readmission rates were noted.
