Abstract:
Disfiguring burn scars are a constant reminder to patients that an accident has occurred, and their lives are changed forever. Today social media has become a platform for communication that puts pressure on users to conform or blend into popular culture. Readily shared techniques that enable individuals to filter and manipulate their public image have resulted in increasing pressure to fit in to the perfect physical image.

Abstract:
Background: Anthrax is a zoonotic bacterial infection caused by a gram-positive bacillus called Bacillus anthracis. It is a disease of public health importance with high mortality rate. The mortality rate could approach absolute without treatment, and about 64% in centres with best of care. Also, because of its role as a biological weapon and in bioterrorism; post 9-11 in the United States, anthrax spores had been
deliberately released in mail parcel leading to a significant morbidity and mortality.

Abstract:
We present the case of a patient with a ureterocoele and an interesting radiological finding. A ureterocoele is a saccular dilation of the distal ureter. It is a well-known pathological feature within the paediatric population; it is less common in the adult
urology setting. Presenting features are varied and include pain, haematuria, urinary
obstruction and recurrent urinary tract infections.

Abstract:
Injectable synthetic melanotropic peptides may be used to enhance tanning, improve erectile function and treat Female Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (FSDD). The peptides, Melanotan I (MT1) and Melanotan II (MTII) have been touted as sunless tanning agents, with the potential to decrease harmful effects of UV damage.

Abstract:
Introduction: Most of the pheochromocytomas are presented with hypertension although sometimes hypotension could be seen. Because intra operative mortality of pheochromocytomas is high, preoperative preparation with alfa- and beta blockers is required. But there is not enough knowledge about preoperative preparation of pheochromocytomas with hypotension.

Abstract:
Hypothalamic-pituitary involvement in sarcoidosis occurs in less than 5% of patients.
Some clinical signs of hypothalamic lesions are non-obvious or can be mistaken in a
complex context. Hypothalamus is involved in temperature regulation, food intake,
and mood regulation. Few cases have been reported.

EDITORIAL:
The intimate relationship between PSA and Prostate cancer -in terms of diagnosis and follow up-has been established since its introduction in the 1980s [1]. The burden of the disease can be correlated to the level of PSA which explains the elevation in serum levels of PSA in patient with metastatic prostate cancer [2].

INTRODUCTION:
The most common aetiology of unilateral palatine tonsil hypertrophy is a squamous cell carcinoma; in most case, there is an isolated, indurated and increased in size amygdala with or without ulceration of the mucosa. The second aetiology is lymphomas, characterized by a sub-mucosal mass, its growth leads to the asymmetrical size of the amygdala.

ABSTRACT:
Different from ordinary Protein-Energy Wasting (PEW), cachexia of uremia aggravates the complications of uremia in the vicious circle of low protein, volume overload and inflammatory response, which seriously affects the quality of life and
survival rate of patients.

ABSTRACT:
Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) associated with chronic inflammation is a recently described entity associated with Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection. Here we report a case of DLBCL developing in a background of chronic osteomyelitis and
metallic implant following fracture after 17 years. Radiographs revealed a mixed
lytic and sclerotic lesion at the distal end of right femur.

ABSTRACT:
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, genetic disease characterized by mutations in the Tissue Non-Specific Alkaline Phosphatase (TNSALP) gene, decreased activity of the TNSALP enzyme in target tissues. In this case we aim to introduce a patient who suffers
from this very rare disease. A forty years-old woman applied to the orthopedic
outpatient clinic with gait disturbance and leg pain.

ABSTRACT:
We present a case of acquired arteriovenous malformation with scar pregnancy in a patient with a previous Caesarean for placenta previa. Incidence of scar pregnancy is reported as 1 in 2,000 pregnancies. The incidence of arteriovenous malformation with scar pregnancy is rarer. Due to paucity of literature regarding arteriovenous malformation with scar pregnancy, these cases may present as a diagnostic dilemma
for the treating physician and usually lead to delay in the management of these
cases..

Arteriovenous malformation, Enhanced myometrial vascularity, Peak systolic velocity
