Kerion celsi is severe inflammatory type of tinea capitis. It occurs almost exclusively in pre-pubertal children. We report a case of Kerion celsi occuring in a 79-year-old woman. Culture of infected hair on Sabouraud glucose agar showed Microsporum canis Farnily history and fungus study suggested the importance of indirect route in Microsporum canis infection.

Purpose: Acute cholecystitis is a complication of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) that occasionally requires surgical intervention. We aimed to analyze the incidence and risk factors of cholecystitis requiring surgical intervention in patients with embolic material uptake on cone beam CT (CBCT) performed immediately after various TACE procedures. Materials and Methods: After a retrospective review of 2633 TACE procedures performed over a 6-year period, 120 patients with embolic material retention in the gallbladder wall on CBCT immediately after TACE were selected. We analyzed the incidence of and risk factors for acute cholecystitis. Results: The overall incidence of acute cholecystitis requiring surgical intervention was 0.45% (12 of 2633 TACE procedures); however, it was present in 10% (12 of 120) of procedures that showed high-density embolic material retention in the gallbladder wall on CBCT performed immediately after TACE. Acute cholecystitis requiring surgical intervention occurred in eight patients (66.7%) who underwent direct cystic arterial embolization. Surgical intervention was performed 15 days (mean) after TACE. Conclusion Most unintended chemolipiodol deposits in the gallbladder wall resolved without intervention or surgery. However, superselective direct cystic arterial chemoembolization was associated with a high incidence of acute cholecystitis requiring surgery, and patients who undergo this procedure should be closely monitored.

PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of prophylactic administration of topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs on macular edema (ME) following cataract surgery. METHODS: The present open-label non-masked randomized (random number assignment) study was comprised of 90 eyes. Thirty eyes were administered Diclofenac sodium 0.1%, and 30 eyes were administered Pranoprofen 0.1% starting three days before surgery and continued for one month after surgery. The remaining 30 eyes made up the control group. The results consisted of the measurements of foveal thickness (FT), macular thickness (MT), and total macular volume (TMV), which were quantified by optical coherence tomography (OCT, Carl Zeiss Meditec) before and one month after phacoemulsification surgery. RESULTS: At one month, there were statistically significant differences in FT in the Diclofenac group (0.48+/-10.9 micrometer) and the Pranoprofen group (1.87+/-14.7 micrometer) (p<0.05) compared with the control group (11.65+/-18.6 micrometer). In addition, there was a statistically significant difference in MT between the control group (71.06+/-90.8 micrometer) and the Diclofenac group (15.19+/-36.1 micrometer) (p<0.05). However, no statistical difference in MT was noted between the control group and the Pranoprofen group (27.57+/-70.93 micrometer). Between the control group and the NSAID groups, only the Diclofenac group showed statistical differences in TMV throughout the observational period. CONCLUSIONS: Used prophylactically after cataract surgery, the NSAIDS eye drops were effective in reducing postoperative ME.

We experienced difficulty in ventilating the lungs of a patient after tracheal intubation. After intubation, an insufficient amount of tidal volume (VT) was delivered to the patient and the fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination identified partial abutment of the endotracheal tube (ETT) orifice against the tracheal wall. After various attempts to correctly place the ETT, a double-lumen endotracheal tube was placed to achieve a sufficient VT. It is important to notice that even an appropriately placed ETT may get obstructed due to the left sided bevel at its tip.
