Case Reports
An unusual presentation of diabetic ketoacidosis associated with ascariasis and fungal esophagitis: A case report.
Gastrointestinal symptoms are most commonly observed in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which usually resolves completely with therapy. However, gastrointestinal symptoms may persist after DKA is resolved. ⋯ In this case, despite the correction of metabolic acidosis, persistent nausea, vomiting and dysphagia can be a sign of esophagitis in patients with type 1 diabetes. Therefore, physicians should be aware of fungal infections associated with type 1 diabetes.

Case Reports
Acquired uterine arteriovenous malformation in a patient with cornual pregnancy: A case report.
Acquired uterine arteriovenous malformation (uAVM) is a rare disease and could occur after dilation and curettage, cesarean section, or neoplastic processes. ⋯ We report an extremely unusual case of acquired uAVM after a wedge resection of cornual pregnancy. Ultrasound evaluation of patients with post-operative persistent bleeding should be considered for evaluation of a possible arteriovenous malformation.

Case Reports
Rare finding of duodenal lymphangioma in a patient with Helicobacter pylori associated gastritis: A case report.
Lymphangiomas are lymphatic malformations most commonly found in the head, neck and axilla. Their incidence in gastrointestinal tract, especially duodenum is very rare. They are mostly congenital and are usually seen in children. Owing to their asymptomatic nature, these tumors are often diagnosed incidentally. Surgical resection is the definite treatment. ⋯ The case describes a correlation between H pylori gastritis and a duodenal lymphangioma. There is likely to be an association between the two and therefore, further studies are required to find out any relationship that may exist between the 2 conditions.

The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review for understanding the availability and limitations of artificial intelligence (AI) approaches that could automatically identify and quantify computed tomography (CT) findings in traumatic brain injury (TBI). ⋯ We identified several important TBI-related CT findings that can be automatically identified and quantified with AI. A combination of these techniques may provide useful tools to enhance reproducibility of TBI identification and quantification by supporting radiologists and clinicians in their TBI assessments and reducing subjective human factors.

Red man syndrome (RMS) is an adverse effect of vancomycin that usually occurs within minutes to tens of minutes after infusion. Previous literature reported that RMS rarely occurs again after the infusion speed is controlled. ⋯ We reported a patient repeatedly developed fever and even shock when the infusion speed is normal, which was rare and similar as anaphylaxis. Therefore, the progression of RMS and its differentiation from allergy need to be further studied.
