Background: Carcinoma erysipeloides (CE) is a rare form of cutaneous metastasis appearing similar to erysipelas or cellulitis. Due to its rarity, little is known about CE.
Methods: We here initially reported a case of CE secondary to rectal carcinoma and then reviewed the literature and analyzed the basic characteristics of the cases reported previously.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the health and physical fitness of female patients with prolactinomas to healthy women, focusing on factors like muscle strength, exercise capacity, physical activity levels, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor knowledge.
- Prolactinoma patients showed poorer exercise performance, lower general health ratings, and greater sedentary behavior compared to controls, but no significant differences in specific muscle strength tests or fatigue levels were found.
- The findings suggest that prolactinoma negatively affects exercise capacity and quality of life, highlighting the need for improved knowledge and functional capacity regarding CVD in these patients.
Objective: Hyperprolactinemia has negative impacts on metabolism and musculoskeletal health. In this study, individuals with active prolactinoma were evaluated for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and musculoskeletal health, which are underemphasized in the literature.
Methods: Twelve active prolactinoma patients and twelve healthy controls matched by age, gender, and BMI were included.
Context: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolical disorder and can lead to liver fibrosis. Because it is commonly seen, several noninvasive scores (NS) have been validated to identify high-risk patients. Patients with NAFLD have been shown to have higher serum angiopoietin-like protein-8 (ANGPTL-8) levels.

Methods: Charts of patients admitted with ESR ≥ 100 mm/h between 2015 and 2020 were reviewed. Patients were divided into four diagnostic groups based on etiology: infection (without a rheumatic diagnosis), oncologic (without a rheumatic diagnosis), rheumatic, and no definitive diagnosis.
Oncology may be the most rapidly expanding field in medicine, with several innovative diagnostic and therapeutic procedures appearing daily. Advances in oncology have improved the survival rate for patients with cancer and promoting quality of life is now one of the goals in the care of these patients. Patients face a variety of disease- and treatment-related side effects, including anorexia, nausea, vomiting, recurring infections, and sleep difficulties.

From this point, we hypothesized that the COVID-19 precautions could lead to a decrease in nosocomial infection rates in oncology inpatient wards.
Methods: We evaluated the nosocomial infection rates in an inpatient palliative oncology ward in the first 3 months of the COVID-19 pandemic in our country and compared this rate with the same time frame of the previous year in our institution.
The global pandemic of COVID-19 has been lasting for more than one year and there is little known about the long-term health effects of the disease. Long-COVID is a new term that is used to describe the enduring symptoms of COVID-19 survivors. Huang et al.

In this study, we aimed to find out the 30-day readmission rate of mild and moderate severity coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) patients discharged from a tertiary care university hospital and to demonstrate the possible factors associated with readmission.
Methods: This is an observational, single-center study.
