Candida albicans osteomyelitis of the spine: progressive clinical and radiological features and surgical management in three cases

Candida albicans vertebral osteomyelitis is rare. Three cases are presented. Without antifungal treatment, they developed spinal collapse and neurological deterioration within 3–6 months from the onset of symptoms. There was a delay of 4.5 and 7.5 months between the onset of symptoms and surgery. All patients were managed with surgical debridement and reconstruction and 12-week fluconazole treatment. The neurological deficits resolved completely. The infection has not recurred clinically or radiologically at 5–6 years follow-up. Although rare, Candida should be suspected as a causative pathogen in cases of spinal osteomyelitis. Without treatment the disease is progressive. As soon as osteomyelitis is suspected, investigations with MRI and percutaneous biopsy should be performed followed by medical therapy. This may prevent the need for surgery. However, if vertebral collapse and spinal cord compression occurs, surgical debridement, fusion and stabilisation combined with antifungal medications can successfully eradicate the infection and resolve the neurological deficits.

Impact of Increasing Margin Around the Lumpectomy Cavity to Define the Planning Target Volume for 3D Conformal External Beam Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dose to normal tissues as a function of increasing margins around the lumpectomy cavity in accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using 3D-conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT). Eight patients with Stage 0-I breast cancer underwent treatment planning for 3DCRT APBI. The clinical target volume (CTV) was defined as a 15-mm expansion around the cavity limited by the chest wall and skin. Three planning target volumes (PTV1, PTV2, PTV3) were generated for each patient using a 0, 5-, and 10-mm expansion around the CTV, for a total margin of 15, 20, and 25 mm. Three treatment plans were generated for every patient using the 3 PTVs, and dose-volume analysis was performed for each plan. For each 5-mm increase in margin, the mean PTV:total breast volume ratio increased 10% and the relative increase in the mean ipsilateral breast dose was 15%. The mean volume of ipsilateral breast tissue receiving 75%, 50%, and 25% of the prescribed dose increased 6% to 7% for every 5 mm increase in PTV margin. Compared to lesions located in the upper outer quadrant, plans for medially located tumors revealed higher mean ipsilateral breast doses and 20% to 22% more ipsilateral breast tissue encompassed by the 25% IDL. The use of 3DCRT for APBI delivers higher doses to normal breast tissue as the PTV increases around the lumpectomy cavity. Efforts should be made to minimize the overall PTV when this technique is used. Ongoing studies will be necessary to determine the clinical relevance of these findings.

Vesico-anal influences in healthy intact humans: Quantificated by responses in the external anal sphincter following transcranial cortical stimulation

EMG responses in the external anal sphincter (EAS), the rectus abdominis muscle (RA), and the anterior tibial muscle (TA) were recorded following single magnetic transcranial cortical stimulations (TCCS) in seven healthy volunteers. The responses in the EAS differed from the responses in the other muscles. They had comparatively long durations ranging from 1 to 2 seconds, no inhibitory periods were observed, and there was no tendency for habituation to occur following a limited number of stimuli. The responses recorded in the EAS were used as test responses in order to evaluate the excitability changes in the EAS motoneurons occurring during bladder filling. Cystometries with filling rates of 15, 50 and 200 ml/min were done. During these cystometries TCCS were applied repeatedly, with constant strength, after each 50 ml of filling up to bladder capacity. The responses following TCCS changed in a highly reproducible way during bladder filling. After 100–200 ml of filling, the responses had longer latencies, diminished sizes, and shorter durations. When the filling reached a level 50–150 ml below capacity, the responses in most subjects again became greater and the latencies shorter. The changes were believed to be physiological. It was concluded that the EAS motoneurons are under both inhibitory and facilitatory influence during bladder filling in intact healthy humans. Facilitatory influences are often observed when the bladder is filled close to capacity. At lower bladder volumes the observed influence is always inhibitory. A decrease in the EMG activity of the EAS during filling cystometry should consequently not be regarded as a pathological response.     

The importance of vaginal mucosal folds at the urethral external meatus

We report on the vaginal mucosal folds (VMF) at the urethral external meatus. Resection of the VMF reduces the dispersed micturition and other urinary symptoms. EDITORIAL COMMENT: The investigators describe the presence of a vaginal mucosal fold (VMF) just dorsal to the urethral meatus and its relationship to voiding abnormalities. VMF were found on physical examination in 8.9% of the clinic population, all of whom complained of dispersed micturition, and 79% also experienced other voiding abnormalities. The complaint of dispersed micturition was successfully treated with excision of the VMF, and the other associated symptoms were improved. This structure should be routinely looked for on physical examination, especially in patients with voiding symptoms. Only further investigation of this newly described entity at other centers around the world will determine the incidence of the anatomic finding and the prevalence of associated voiding disturbances across different populations.
