https://www.selleckchem.com/ Iron deficiency anaemia is a known complication of a large hiatal hernia in adults. It occurs as a result of erosions on the gastric mucosa secondary to traction at the hiatus during respiration and/or gastric acid-related injuries to the mucosa. Even though anaemia occurs as a result of chronic gastrointestinal blood loss, testing for faecal occult blood is often negative and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy normal as the bleeding is intermittent. In children, a hiatus hernia as a rare cause of iron deficiency anaemia and has been described only in case reports. Here, we describe a 5-year-old boy who presented with severe transfusion-dependent iron deficiency anaemia caused by a paraoesophageal hernia. Surgical repair of the hiatus hernia led to complete resolution of anaemia. One should consider a hiatus hernia as a diagnostic possibility when evaluating a child with refractory iron deficiency anaemia.A 46-year-old woman presented with sudden onset of shortness of breath and pleuritic chest pain. A CT pulmonary angiogram identified a 5 cm cement pulmonary embolus within the right main pulmonary artery with a surrounding thrombus. She had undergone an L4 vertebroplasty 3 years prior to presentation for a benign lytic lesion. Cement embolus is a known complication of cement vertebroplasty with incidence rates of approximately 0.9%. Management is usually conservative and associated morbidity and mortality rates are low. It is not known whether a previous cement embolus could provide a nidus for thrombus formation.We present a case of a 59-year-old man, who on being evaluated for abdominal pain and headache, was found to have a pancreatic head mass and inflammatory hypophysitis. Xpert MTB/Rif of the pancreatic mass biopsy showed the presence of tuberculosis (TB) with a very low load, and rifampicin resistance was detected with absence of probes A and B. Pyrosequencing (a novel genotypic test for TB) of the Xpert MTB/Rif isolate detected a
