Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) have expressed desire to become living organ donors but are unable to do so with current organ donation policies. Our objective is to assess ALS patient's interest in organ donation, and perceived concerns of this practice by ALS neurologists. PATIENTS AND METHODS An electronic survey was administered to ALS neurologists across the United States regarding living organ donation in ALS patients prior to respiratory failure. RESULTS 52 complete responses were received from 121 invites. 67% (35/52) of neurologists expressed no concerns about living organ donation in ALS patients, and 33% had concerns. The concerns related to respiratory failure, anesthesia exposure and renal dysfunction. With their concerns addressed, 71% of neurologists reported that they would endorse living organ donation. 49% of neurologists reported being asked by a patient for information regarding living organ donation. ALS neurologists felt that 22.8% of ALS patients (median 19%) would be interested in learning more about organ donation, while only 6% of neurologists broach this subject with their patients. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that 1 in every 4 ALS patients may be interested in exploring options for living organ donation, and this topic is not routinely addressed by ALS clinics. These results indicate an unexplored area of patient interest. To honor a patient's wishes to donate, the transplant community will have to accommodate living organ donation from terminally ill patients, and address neurologist concerns. Such a practice could benefit two groups of patients.

Abstract
Background and Purpose: Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a frequent disease affecting approximately more than %75 of all childbearing women at least once in their lifetime by overgrowth of opportunistic Candida species. Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) is common in otherwise healthy individuals. Several risk factors were reported to contribute to RVVC susceptibility. A polymorphism in Dectin-1 (Y238X, rs16910526 ) was identified in patients with RVVC and hypothesized that genetic factors play an important role in susceptibility to RVVC. Herein, we aimed to survey the polymorphisms in the Dectin-1 gene, linked to susceptibility to RVVC. Materials and Methods: In the current study, blood samples were obtained from 25 patients who had frequent vulvovaginal candidiasis relapses and were diagnosed as RVVC. In addition, blood cultures were obtained from control group comprising of healthy individuals (n=25) with no history of RVVC, vaginal discharge, or itching on the day of examination. Dectin-1 Y238X gene polymorphism was investigated using Bi-PASA and DNA sequencing. Results: The analysis revealed that all of the patients were wild-type homozygous for Dectin-1 Y238X polymorphisms. None of the individuals showed heterozygous or mutant homozygous Dectin-1 polymorphism. Conclusion: No significant correlations were observed between the susceptibility to RVVC and Dectin-1 Y238X polymorphism in the Iranian population, which was not previously studied.

Abstract
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a rare etiology of hypercalcemia-induced pancreatitis, contributing about 0.4% to 1.5% of cases in the general population and up to 13% of cases during pregnancy. PHPT that occurs during pregnancy is a challenging diagnosis as the physiological changes in calcium homeostasis mask the symptoms of hypercalcemia. PHPT during pregnancy often remains undiagnosed and untreated, and may result in serious clinical implications for the mother and fetus. Most clinicians consider surgery within the second trimester of pregnancy as the treatment of choice in this group of patients. This article refers to a case of a 24-year married woman in whom PHPT was diagnosed for the first time in postpartum period. She succumbed to complications on Day 20 postpartum. Pathological findings revealed metastatic calcification in lungs, pancreas and uterine vessels, chronic pancreatitis and renal cortical necrosis.

Abstract
CONCLUSION The average SNOT 22 score should be calculated locally and be used as a reference when managing patients with nasal symptoms. OBJECTIVE To calculate the average Sino Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT) 22 score across Lanarkshire and to compare it with similar studies. METHODOLOGY Prospective data collection in which SNOT 22 forms were filled by the Lanarkshire population who had no history of sinonasal disease. Participants included patient attendants and hospital staff across multiple hospital sites in NHS Lanarkshire. All patients with hay fever, previous nasal surgeries, or any history of use of topical steroid sprays were excluded from the study. RESULTS This study included 118 participants, out of which three had to be excluded due to unclear data entry. The total number for SNOT forms included for analysis was 115. This included 85 females and 29 males, while one form remained unanswered. The mean age was 49 (range = 15-81) years. The mean SNOT 22 score was 18 (range = 0-89).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) colonizing the nares, is the leading cause of hospital as well as community acquired infections. The aim of this study was to identify the S. aureus from skin, soft tissue and bone related infections and typing them on the basis of antimicrobial susceptibility profile. METHODS Clinical samples were collected from patients with skin, soft tissue and bone related infections from January to October 2013 at Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital, Bharatpur. The S. aureus, small colony variants and methicillin resistant strains were identified by standard microbiological methods recommended by American Society for Microbiology. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by modified Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. RESULTS Among 333 samples processed, there was positive growth of S. aureus in 66 (19.8%) samples. Among the isolated S. aureus, 10 isolates were small colony variants of S. aureus and all the strains recovered were thymidine independent in this study. Amikacin, vancomycin and teicoplanin were found to be the most effective antibiotics. Methicillin resistance was found in 34.8% isolates of S. aureus. CONCLUSIONS It can be concluded that, S. aureus is one of the causative agent of pyogenic infections and the trend of antibiotic resistant is alarmingly high and also the rate of methicillin resistant S. aureus is comparably high in this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Pakistan routine blood group typing of thalassemia patients identifies ABO and Rh(D) antigens only. Therefore, other antigen incompatibilities between blood donor and blood recipient may cause alloimmunisation. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to estimate the frequency of alloimmunisation and to evaluate the risk factors associated with its development in beta (β)-thalassemia patients receiving regular blood transfusions. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total 162 β thalassemia patients were included in this study. An extended red cell antigen panel was performed to detect antibodies. Patients received red cell concentrates, which were matched for ABO and Rh(D) antigens. Clinical and laboratory data were collected and analysed to estimate the frequency of alloantibodies and the factors influencing immunisation in patients on regular blood transfusion. RESULTS The median age of patients was 6·7 (range: 0·5-25) years. A total of 14 (8·6%) patients developed alloantibodies against red cell antigens. The most frequently occurring alloantibodies was anti-E (2·5%), anti-K (1·8%), anti-e (1·2%) and anti-D (0·6%). Five (3·1%) patients developed more than one red blood cell (RBC) alloantibody. Age at first transfusion in alloimmunised patients was 1·22 ± 0·87 years. The frequency of blood transfusion in alloimmunised patients was 23 ± 8·81 days and in those without alloimmunisation was 31·8 ± 16 days (p = 0·02). Logistic regression analysis showed no independent risk factor associated with alloimmunisation. CONCLUSION The frequency of transfusion was increased in patients who developed alloantibodies. Typing patients and donors to match for Rh and Kell antigens would prevent more than 90% of RBC alloantibodies and reduce the frequency of transfusion in thalassemia patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine voice outcomes in endolaryngeal surgery. METHODS Prospective assessment of patients undergoing endolaryngeal surgery in one head and neck team in North Glasgow from 2007 to 2014. Each patient completed a VoiSS (the Voice Symptom Scale) questionnaire at pre-assessment and post-endolaryngeal surgery. Per-operatively, the aim of the procedure was recorded from a choice of seven options in addition to the clinical conditions and the procedure. RESULTS One thousand and sixty-six patient episodes were recorded. Thirty-two had incomplete data at pre-assessment and were excluded. Of the remainder, 703 (68%) had complete paired data sets. 'To improve voice' (n = 169, 24%) and 'to achieve a biopsy with no deterioration in voice' (n = 185, 26%) categories had significant outcomes in keeping with the operative aims. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that it is possible to assess patient reported voice outcomes in universal heterogeneous endolaryngeal surgery cohort over a prolonged period. The voice outcomes were in keeping with the stated aims of the endolaryngeal surgical procedures.

Abstract
We report a interesting case of antenatal diagnosis of achondrpoplasia in a young multigravida who presented with term pregnancy for routine ultrasound assessment which revealed a single, live intrauterine fetus with a discrepancy between femur length (FL) and biparietal diameter (BPD), narrowing of the interpeduncular distance. The diagnosis of achondroplasia was made with a sonological skeletal survey and findings were correlated with radiological skeletal survey after the baby was delivered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diarrheal diseases are major problem of developing countries. Though precise data on childhood mortality associated with diarrheal diseases in Nepal is not available, it has been estimated that approximately 25% of child death are associated with diarrheal disease, particularly acute diarrhea. The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of bacterial pathogens causing acute diarrhea in children under 5 years of age. METHODS A total of 525 children with acute diarrhea in a children's hospital of Kathmandu, Nepal were enrolled between April 2011 to September 2011. Feacal specimens for culture were inoculated to the several media. The organisms were identified by different biochemical tests and serotyping. Their antibiotic sensitivity tests were performed by Kirby-Bauer's disc diffusion method as recommended by CLSI. RESULTS Out of total 525 enrolled cases bacterial infection was found to be 46 (8.8%). Bacterial infection was found to be of highest, 36 (78.3%) in the age group between 6-24 months. Among the total enrolled cases the prevalence of Shigella species was 24 (4.6%) followed by Escherichia coli 12 (2.3%) and Salmonella species 10 (1.9%). Chloramphenicol and Tetracycline showed efficacy in 9 (90.0%) isolates of Salmonella species, Gentamycin showed efficacy in 22 (91.7%) isolates of Shigella species and Chloramphenicol showed 100% efficacy against Escherichia coli whereas 7 (70.0%) isolates of Salmonella species were resistant to ampicillin in vitro. MDR was highest 7 (70.0%) in Salmonella species. CONCLUSIONS The bacterial pathogens were found to be a significant cause of acute diarrhea. The most common causative organism for acute diarrhea were Shigella spp. Awareness of improving hygiene and infectious diseases may reduce the burden of infection.
