Clinical features, risk factors, and antimicrobial resistance of pseudomonas putida isolates.

Pseudomonas putida rarely results in infection, primarily in patients undergoing invasive procedures or immunocompromised hosts. We aimed to investigate the characteristics of Pseudomonas putida infections. This is a retrospectively designed cross-sectional observational study.

Clinical and radiological characteristics of pulmonary actinomycosis mimicking lung malignancy.

Introduction: Pulmonary actinomycosis, clinically and radiologically, mimics abscess, tuberculosis, and lung malignancy, resulting in misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis. In this study, we analyzed the clinicoradiological features of pulmonary actinomycosis, the presence of any differences between clinical prediagnosis and radiological diagnosis, and whether imaging modalities help distinguish pulmonary actinomycosis from lung cancer.

Methods: A total of 22 patients who had a histopathological diagnosis of actinomycosis in a tertiary health center participated in this study.

[An easy, safe and affective method for the treatment of intussusception: ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction].

Background: Intussusception is one of the important causes of intestinal obstruction in children. Hydrostatic reduction under ultrasound guidance is a popular treatment method for intussusception. In the present study, we aimed to explain the demographic characteristics of and treatment approaches in patients diagnosed with intussusception by ultrasound.
