Some baseball pichers have the symptom-complex of the elbow joint due to repetitive throwing. The Hyperextension overload syndrome is symptom-complex caused by impingement between olecranon tip and fossa during hyperextension of the elbow. The patients of hyperextension overload syndrome is have some pathology of his elbow such as bony spur on olecranon tip, intra-articular loose body or degenerative arthritis. And they complaint of pain or limitation of extension. The authors diagnosed and treated five cases of hyperextension overload syndrome. All of them had flexion contracture. Three cases of them had cubitus valgus. But no had medial instability of the elbow. Three cases of them had tenderness on the olecranon tip. Four patients treated by excision of osteophyte or loose body with arthroscopic or open operative technique.

This study was performed to test the association between lung function and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Korean patients.

Sweet's syndrome is an important cutaneous sign of underlying myeloproliferative disorder. The majority of cases have occurred with acute leukemia, primarily of the myelogenous type. We described a case of Sweet's syndrome in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome that preceded acute myelogenous leukemia by 9 months.

Generalized lipodyst,rophy is characterized by generalized loss of body fat, and is asociated vith metabolic ahnormalities, including insulin resistance, hyperglycemia., and hypertriglyceridemia. like acanthosis nigricans, generalized lipodystrophy is a cutaneous marker of insulin re.istant diabetes. We report. herein a twenty year old female witti both classic generalized lipodystripin and acanthosis nigricans, in association with insulin resistant diabetes.

Intestinal malrotation with volvulus is generally presented as a bilious vomiting and acute intestinal obstruction in the newborn period. It could compromise vascular supply of the small bowel secondary to torsion of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and without urgent surgical management, it could lead to detrimental outcomes such as transmural bowel infarction and sepsis. However, in chronic cases, it is rarely obstructs the vascular supply and propagates to an acute bowel infarction. Rarely, chronic malrotation with midgut volvulus may not reduce the mesenteric blood supply because of collateral vessels, and the chronically stagnated blood flow of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) favors thrombus formation within the lumen. The recommended treatment is Ladd's procedure and anticoagulation therapy. The authors present an unusual case of intestinal malrotation with chronic volvulus resulting in superior mesenteric vein and portal vein thrombosis in a 28-year-old patient.

Psychophysiological and functional neuroimaging studies have frequently and consistently shown that emotional information can be processed outside of the conscious awareness. Non-conscious processing comprises automatic, uncontrolled, and fast processing that occurs without subjective awareness. However, how such non-conscious emotional processing occurs in patients with various psychiatric disorders requires further examination. In this article, we reviewed and discussed previous studies on the non-conscious emotional processing in patients diagnosed with anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression, to further understand how non-conscious emotional processing varies across these psychiatric disorders. Although the symptom profile of each disorder does not often overlap with one another, these patients commonly show abnormal emotional processing based on the pathology of their mood and cognitive function. This indicates that the observed abnormalities of emotional processing in certain social interactions may derive from a biased mood or cognition process that precedes consciously controlled and voluntary processes. Since preconscious forms of emotional processing appear to have a major effect on behaviour and cognition in patients with these disorders, further investigation is required to understand these processes and their impact on patient pathology.
