Following a week after a jellyfish sting, a young man presented with regional cyanosis and threat of distal gangrene secondary to vascular spasm in the forearm. The patient also suffered from transient paresis and numbness of the affected upper limb. Contrasted imaging revealed unopacified vessels in the distal forearm and worsening swelling warranted emergency surgical fasciotomy for impending compartment syndrome. This case highlights the occurrence of jellyfish envenomation and the need for early treatment.

We review 31 consecutive cases of open-globe injuries in Trauma Department of National Institute of Ophthalmology from January 2000 to December 2000. All cases were done for microbial cultures. Results showed that among 27 males and 4 females ranged in age from 5 to 44 years, there were 10 cases of culture-positive. Gram-negative organisms and Staphylococcus were the most frequent. Final visual acuity was 5/200 of better in 8 patients (25.8%), counting fingers: 5 patients (16.1%), light perception in 12 patients (38.7%), phthisis bulb in 4 (12.9%), 2 eyes were eviscerated.

E.coli endotoxin in septic shock causes hypotension, multiple organ dysfunction, and left ventricular change with characteristic of the myocardiac depression. There is no longer any doubt that continuous hemofiltration in the therapies is better tolerated when comparing with intermittent hemodialyin. In the blood, concentration of the myocardial depressant factor was reduced by half in the first hour of extracorporeal removal. Continuous hemofiltration will be used in septic shock as soon as for the patient is oliguric and hemodynamical unstable.

Ankle injuries are commonly seen in various sports. The main aim of the present review was to highlight the normal anatomy of the ankle, mechanism of injuries related to sports, congenital abnormalities or anatomical variations related to ankle injury and discuss its effective management. A review of literature was done to determine the ankle injuries which occur as a result of various sports related activities. We documented all sports which involved injury to the ankle joint. The anatomy of various structures in the sole of foot and their involvement in injuries were discussed at length. The anatomical knowledge of ankle injury may be beneficial for future diagnosis and treatment purpose.
