Case ReportsSnail Fever of the Bladder in a Non-endemic Area.
Schistosomiasis is rarely seen in Pakistan and is generally not very high on the list of differential diagnoses. However, it is an important cause of haematuria in certain endemic areas. It can affect multiple organs including the bladder, liver and lungs. ⋯ Final pathologic diagnosis was urinary schistosomiasis (hematobium species). This case is particularly notable for the characteristic sago nodules identified on cystoscopy. It is important to consider schistosomiasis in the differential of haematuria in such scenarios as it confers significant morbidity if left untreated. Key Words: Schistosomiasis, Schistosoma hematobium, Haematuria, Urinary bladder.

Case ReportsGlyphosate-induced Delayed Pyloric Obstruction, Ulcer and Scar Changes.
Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide. Acute glyphosate poisoning is not uncommon, mostly caused by a large amount of glyphosate entering the human body in a short time, and the common reason is taking it accidently. The manifestations of acute stage are mainly gastrointestinal reactions. ⋯ In addition, active gastric ulcer was also observed. Therefore, the choice of gastric lavage method, avoidance of neutralising acid-base reactions, and the long-term use of acid suppression and mucosal protection therapy may have important therapeutic implications for the repair of gastric mucosa in such cases. Key Words: Glyphosate, Ulceration, Pyloric obstruction.
