In addition, cholecystoenteric fistula has been successfully managed laparoscopically with laparoscopic cholecystectomy and closure of the fistula tract. CONCLUSION The laparoscopic management of cholecystoeneteric fistula is a feasible and safe procedure but the operative strategy should be individualized on diagnosis, patient characteristics, availability of resources and experience of surgical team. INTRODUCTION Renal cell carcinoma comprises over 90% of renal cancers, thus, it is the most common form of renal neoplasia. This carcinoma can often present itself in a variable fashion, ranging from incidentalomas to metastatic diseases. Furthermore, the most common metastasis associated with this type of carcinoma occurs in the lungs, bones or liver. We aim to report a case of renal cell carcinoma which presented together with a fibromixoid sarcoma. CASE PRESENTATION A 50 year-old woman presented with hematuria, weight loss, asthenia and right lumbar pain that started 7 months prior to the consult. CT scan was performed and revealed a solid injury of 10 cm in the right kidney together with a mass in the left flank. Total right nephrectomy was promptly performed and the patient was submitted 3 months later to a tumoral resection of the abdominal wall. Histopathological findings revealed a primary renal cell carcinoma and the second, metastatic tumor was shown to be a fibromixoid sarcoma. The patient was not submitted to chemotherapy and is currently under follow-up with the surgery and oncology staffs, without showing any symptoms. VX-765 DISCUSSION Renal cell carcinoma usually presents itself together with secondary tumors on the lungs and bones. The association of this type of carcinoma with a fibromixoid sarcoma of the abdominal wall is rare and poorly reported in the literature. CONCLUSION This case reports shows a successful treatment regarding this rare association, which can help other physicians to re-evaluate their medical conduct. OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the effectiveness of the endonasal endoscopic approach in managing a large bilateral frontal mucopyocele causing a mass effect on the brain. CASE PRESENTATION A 17 year old chronic sinusitis patient, presented with bilateral nasal obstruction and increasing left sided headache; was found to have a very large bilateral frontal mucopyoceles with extensive intracranial extradural brain involvement on CT scan and MRI of the sinuses and brain which was drained and evacuated completely using the endonasal endoscopic image guided approach with no complications. CONCLUSION The endonasal endoscopic image guided approach is the approach of choice in managing large frontal mucopyocele with brain extension. It is a safe, accurate, reliable approach with no complications. INTRODUCTION Tracheal bronchus is a rare anomaly in which an accessory bronchial branch originates superior to the tracheal bifurcation. It is usually incidentally found in patients with recurrent chest infection, persistent stridor and less commonly due to foreign body aspiration. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 6-year-old medically and surgically free boy presented to the Emergency Department with severe shortness of breath. The patient was initially saturating well, but then suddenly worsened and was rushed for intubation. The patient was taken to the operating room for direct laryngobronchoscopy to retrieve the foreign body obstructing the airway. The foreign body was successfully retrieved, and the presence of a tracheal bronchus was confirmed. DISCUSSION The presence of tracheal bronchus has its implications on airway management. CONCLUSION Knowledge about tracheal bronchus is of great importance to the otolaryngologist and anesthetist to maintain the airway. We review and contrast the evidence for an effect of amplifying host herd immunity on circulation and human exposure to arboviruses. Herd immunity of short-lived West Nile virus avian amplifying hosts appears to play a limited role in levels of enzootic circulation and spillover infections of humans, which are not amplifiers. In contrast, herd immunity of nonhuman primate hosts for enzootic Zika, dengue, and chikungunya viruses is much stronger and appears to regulate to a large extent the periodicity of sylvatic amplification in Africa. Following the recent Zika and chikungunya pandemics, human herd immunity in the Americas quickly rose to ∼50% in many regions, although seroprevalence remains patchy. Modeling from decades of chikungunya circulation in Asia suggests that this level of herd immunity will suppress for many years major chikungunya and Zika epidemics in the Americas, followed by smaller outbreaks as herd immunity cycles with a periodicity of up to several decades. Soil microbial community structures and enzymatic activity are important indicators for judging biochemical process intensity and soil quality. Non-thermal discharge plasma (NDP), an advanced oxidation technique, has received great attention in soil remediation. Potential impact of NDP treatment on microbial community structures and enzymatic activities in uncontaminated soil samples was evaluated in this study. The NDP treatment significantly altered soil microbial community structures and enzymatic activity. The exposure of soil samples to NDP decreased the enzymatic activities including glutamic acid enzyme, arylsulphatase, leucine enzyme, acetyl glucosaccharase, glucosaccharase, cellulose, phosphatase, and ligninase. The contents of some soil microbes including Gram-negative bacteria, Fungi, Anaerobes, AM Fungi, Eukaryotes, and Actinomycetes also decreased after NDP treatment, as well as the diversity index and equitability index of the soil microbes. In addition, the total phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA), Fungi PLFA, bacteria PLFA, and Actinomycetes PLFA of the soil microbes were also reduced after treatment. Principal component analysis confirmed these changes. Actinomycetes and Fungi were the most sensitive microbes to the NDP, and Phosphatase activity and Cellulose activity were relatively insensitive to the NDP. The potential impacts could be attributed to chemically active substances and ultraviolet irradiation.
