Aneurysmal bone cyst is an uncommon tumor-like lesion of the bone, containing distended channels or cavities filled with blood. This case, a eighteen years old female, complained of pain and swelling in the right lateral aspect of thigh. Roentgenograms showed a ballooned-out distension of the shaft of the femur, eccentric buldging of the cortex and soap-bubble appearance of interior of the lesion. The case was treated with radical curettage and autogenous bone graft with bone chips which were taken from the iliac wing. Pathological examination grossly and microscopically revealed an aneurysmal bone cyst. Patient made an uneventful recovery, and 11 months later she had no complaints and no evidence of recurrence.

Objective: This study identified the incidence and risk factors for headache attributed to acute pyelonephritis. Methods: The inclusion criteria were patients who were admitted with acute pyelonephritis at our hospital and ≥ 18 years of age. The following exclusion criteria were used: 1) patients who could not express their headache because of mental deterioration, 2) the presence of meningitis or meningoencephalitis, or 3) structural lesions on brain computed tomography or magnetic resonance images that could cause headache. The primary outcome was headache attributed to acute pyelonephritis as a dependent variable. The differences were analyzed using demographic and laboratory profiles as independent variables. Additionally, correlation analysis was performedbetweenseverity of headache using VAS score and demographic and laboratory profiles including age, WBC, and CRP. Results: A total of 479 patients met the inclusion criteria for this study, and 97 patients developed headache attributed to acute pyelonephritis. Patients with headache were younger and more likely to be female, and had a lower incidence of diabetes than those without headache. However, laboratory profiles that reflected the severity of acute pyelonephritis were not predictive factors for headache. Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that young age and non-diabetes were independently significant variables for the prediction of headache attributed to acute pyelonephritis. In addition, the VAS score was found to be negative correlated with age, whereas it was not correlated with WBC and CRP. Conclusions: We determined that headache attributed to acute pyelonephritis was relatively common, and it was related to demographic characteristics but not acute pyelonephritis severity.

BACKGROUND: Both atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia may progress to gastric dysplasia. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing progression of atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia to dysplasia. METHODS: People diagnosed with atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia for the first time received a follow-up endoscopy and were investigated for the cumulative incidence rate of gastric dysplasia by age, gender, smoking habit, alcohol intake, rice consumption and family history of stomach cancer. RESULTS: The cumulative incidence rate increased with age, consuming > or =3 bowls of rice per day and family history of stomach cancer. Multivariate analysis showed that the cumulative incidence rate of gastric dysplasia increased in subjects >61 years (RR=2.54, P=0.014), in those consuming > or =3 bowls of rice per day (RR=1.46, P=0.021) and in those with a family history of stomach cancer (RR=1.31, P=0.037). CONCLUSIONS: More active management, such as intensive endoscopic follow-up examinations, lifestyle change and education regarding gastric dysplasia, are required in those older than 61 years, having a higher intake of grain or with a family history of stomach cancer.
