Authors: Quintyne, K I; Barratt, N; O'Donoghue, L; Wallis, F; Gupta, R K Abstract: We herein report a case of a 33-year-old man in remission from Hodgkin lymphoma, who presented with reduced potency and hair loss. Initial endocrine tests revealed autoimmune hypothyroidism. An MRI of his pituitary gland at onset revealed hyperplasia. He tolerated replacement endocrine therapy with good response, but with no improvement in his alopecia universalis. A repeat MRI, 6 months after his initial endocrine manipulation, showed resolution of his pituitary hyperplasia.

Authors: Ellanti, Prasad; Davarinos, Nikos; Burke, Thomas E; D'Souza, Lester G Abstract: Bilateral simultaneous ruptures are rare comprising less than 1% of all Achilles tendon ruptures. Risk factors for bilateral ruptures include chronic diseases and medications such as corticosteroids and fluoroquinolones. There is little in the literature on the long-term functional outcome of bilateral Achilles tendon ruptures. This article present a series of 3 cases of simultaneous and spontaneous bilateral Achilles tendon ruptures with a minimum of 5-year follow up suggesting a good functional outcome.

Authors: Quintyne, K I; Mulcahy, E; Wallis, F; Wilson, L; Gupta, R K Abstract: The authors report the case of a 51-year-old man who presented with left-sided abdominal pain and weight loss associated with drenching night sweats. Preliminary blood tests yielded no specific cause for his symptoms, but abdominal ultrasound revealed multiple hepatic lesions and peripancreatic lymphadenopathy. Further imaging, including positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, revealed fludeoxyglucose 18F (FDG) avid uptake within lymphadenopathy above and below the diaphragm and also noted gastric thickening. Diagnosis was established with gastric biopsy and revealed gastric Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was started on and tolerated multi-agent chemotherapy. Repeated PET/CT and gastric biopsy showed complete metabolic and pathologic response to treatment. Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10147/270334 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z
