TVS and MRI revealed well defined solid mass in retroperitoneal at the level of L5 to S2 vertebrae and displace right common iliac and external iliac vessels. Limited cuts of the region of Computed tomography (CT) were taken and no calcification was identified. Histological examination showed that the lesion was an extra-adrenal retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma composed of mature ganglion cells and subsequently confirmed by immunohistochemistry.</p> <p><em>Pulse</em> volumel.11 January-December 2018-2019 p.13-18</p> 2022-10-26T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2018 Pulse https://banglajol.info/index.php/PULSE/article/view/62449 Intranodal Palisaded Myofibroblastoma: A Case Report 2022-10-26T01:56:57+00:00 Ahmed Khaled ahmed.khaled@evercarebd.com SM Mahbubul Alam ahmed.khaled@evercarebd.com <p>Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma is a rare benign soft tissue tumor almost always arising from inguinal lymphnodes.

It is often underdiagnosed resulting in significant mortality as the presenting features mimic other commonly prevailing diseases like Malaria, Dengue, Acute hepatitis, Typhoid in developing world. We are reporting a case of 16 years old male student presented with acute febrile illness with icterus, hemorrhagic manifestation and pulmonary-renal involvement, diagnosed as Severe Leptospirosis (Weil's disease) confirmed by ICT method. This experience highlights the importance of considering Leptospirosis early in the diagnosis of acute nonspecific febrile illness with multi-organ involvement to cutoff mortality from this fatal disease.</p> <p><em>Pulse</em> volumel.11 January-December 2018-2019 p.22-26</p> 2022-10-26T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2018 Pulse https://banglajol.info/index.php/PULSE/article/view/62451 A case of ventricular septal rupture complicating acute myocardial infarction - A rare lethal entity posing big challenge to surgeon 2022-10-26T01:57:00+00:00 Mohammad Delwar Hossain authorinquiry@inasp.info SMA Zulker Nine Palash authorinquiry@inasp.info Tahera Mehar authorinquiry@inasp.info Niaz Ahmed authorinquiry@inasp.info Sohail Ahmed authorinquiry@inasp.info Md Zulfiqur Haider authorinquiry@inasp.info <p>Rupture of the ventricular septum, a rare but potentially fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction, is usually observed in the setting of acute myocardial infarction associated with major coronary artery occlusion.

It may seem that there's nothing one can do about stress. But in fact the control can be more than one can think about.</p> <p><strong>Objective: </strong>Create awareness about psychological support in work-life balance, reduced stress levels at work and at home, greater focus and concentration, participate more fully in family and social life, pursue personal goals and hobbies, improved health.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The simple realization that one can be in control of his/her life is the foundation of stress management.</p> <p><em>Pulse</em> volumel.11 January-December 2018-2019 p.4-6</p> 2022-10-26T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2018 Pulse https://banglajol.info/index.php/PULSE/article/view/62447 Sepsis: Updates 2022-10-26T01:56:54+00:00 Md Mahbub Noor mahbub.noor@evercarebd.com <p>Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction that results from the body's response to infection. To protect against sepsis prompt recognition, careful hemodynamic support, appropriate antibiotics, and control of the source of infection are required. With the trend in management, one should understand sepsis physiology and follow the best practice guidelines. Sepsis and particularly septic shock should be recognized as medical emergency as in stroke and acute myocardial infarction. Early recognition and rapid institution of resuscitative measures are critical. Although recognition of sepsis can be a challenge and the best management practices continue to evolve. This article reviews guidance on the diagnosis and management of sepsis and septic shock with attention to maximizing adherence to best practice and controversies in definition, diagnostic criteria, and management.</p> <p><em>Pulse</em> volumel.11 January-December 2018-2019 p.7-12</p> 2022-10-26T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2018 Pulse
