  Carcinogenic impact of HPVs upon people, its epidemiological character, and a systemic knowledge-based approach to understanding and treatment of the corresponding cancer diseases by Michael Yu. Chernyshov in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences Abstract  Plausible knowledge is the only reliable ground of any treatment method, any strategy of treatment, any approach to the remission. An attempt has been made to bring plausible knowledge of the sources of occurrence of HPV genotypes, which provoke cancer diseases, and knowledge of their epidemiological character into a system. Not simply the methods of treatment themselves, but a systemic knowledge-based (and methodologically organized) approach, which presumes systemic organization and systemic application of definite treatment methods, is recommended in the capacity of the key approach in proper organization of any cancer treatment process. Moreover, a scheme representing such an approach to...

  Tirofiban-induced hyper-acute severe thrombocytopenia and anemia: the first known report in a Native American / American Indian from the capital of The Cherokee Nation, with a brief review of the literature by Prashant Kaushik in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences Abstract  Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors are critical post-percutaneous coronary artery interventions for preventing thrombus formation. While oral agents are often first-line, there is a significant delay in achieving platelet inactivation as firstpass metabolism is required to obtain an active metabolite. Intravenous antiplatelet medications such as glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors have a niche role in providing platelet inactivation from the time of infusion. Typically, most patients undergo tirofiban infusion without difficulty; however, some cases have been linked to varying degrees of thrombocytopenia, which can develop immediately post-infusion or several days later. Thoug...
