AbstractPenetrating cardiac injuries commonly occur secondary to gunshot or stab wounds. This is a report an unusual case of a patient who sustained a penetrating cardiac injury due to a nail from a terrorism-related, nail-bomb explosion. Associated problems included pericardial tamponade, penetrating cardiac injuries, acute, traumatic, myocardial infarction, and a penetrating lung injury. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive surgical intervention resulted in full recovery of the patient.

The British Society of Periodontology, in collaboration with the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry, published guidelines in 2012 for the periodontal screening of children and adolescents. The guidelines recommended a simplified Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE) of six teeth for children aged 7–17 years. This is further modified for ages 7–11, using codes 0–2 from the 0–4 BPE adult chart. An unusual case of an 11-year-old boy who attended his general dental practitioner for a check-up is reported. Periodontal screening led to the detection of 13-mm pockets associated with the two mandibular first permanent molars that required surgical intervention and multidisciplinary care. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case report highlights the importance of paediatric periodontal screening in both primary and secondary care.

Suspected Diagnosis

Acute cecal appendicitis and appendagitis are two entities due to the inflammation of the cecal and epiploic appendix respectively. A case of a 34-year-old woman is presented, who is admitted for abdominal pain. Initial blood test and ultrasonography were not conclusive, subsequently with clinical deterioration, surgical intervention was required which noted acute appendicitis and appendicitis that were removed. This is an extremely unusual case, since the simultaneous presentation of these two entities has not been widely described and demonstrates the importance of exploring the abdominal and pelvic cavity in patients with suspected diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

Prompt Diagnosis

Spontaneous extraperitoneal bladder rupture is a rare urology emergency. Most of the extraperitoneal urinary bladder rupture cases were management conservatively. To my best knowledge, there was very few reported about outcome of surgical management for spontaneous extraperitoneal urinary bladder rupture. Herein we shared our experience treating a 84 year old male who first presented with gross hematuria and frequent clots retention. Later he developed septic shock and peritonism which prompted us to do an urgent CT and found out the cause of his acute abdomen. The dilemma we faced to go in for operation was explained and patient had a turbulent post-operative time and he eventually succumbed to death due to various factors. Spontaneous extraperitoneal urinary bladder rupture is a rare cause of acute abdomen and prompt diagnosis and management can produce best clinical outcome.

Cardiac tamponadeis a medical emergency which requires a fast diagnosis and treatment. We report the successful management of 51-year-old women who presented with cardiac tamponade due to ventricular rupture. Once this condition was suspected and confirmed by echocardiography, an emergent pericardiotomy was made. This case highlights the importance of a prompt diagnosis and how this could change the prognosis.
