Early Resolution of Abnormal Vascular Networks After Superficial Temporal Artery to Middle Cerebral Artery (STA-MCA) Bypass Surgery for Twig-Like Middle Cerebral Artery With Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Case Report.

The twig-like middle cerebral artery (T-MCA) is a rare condition characterized by unilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion and abnormal vascular networks, resembling Moyamoya Disease (MMD). While some reports mention bypass surgery for T-MCA, akin to MMD, there is no established treatment method. Previous reports highlight the efficacy of revascularization procedures in preventing recurrent strokes in T-MCA patients, but there is limited data on its usefulness for cases with intracerebral hemorrhagic onset.

A case of acute eosinophilic pneumonia induced by the inhalation of acetylene.

A 58-year-old man who had inhaled acetylene while welding 2 and 4 days previously and subsequently developed cough, dyspnea, and fever was referred by his general practitioner. A computed tomography scan showed diffuse ground-glass opacities in both lungs, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid showed an increased proportion of eosinophils (25 %). Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) was diagnosed.

Elevated Netrin-4 Expression and Its Action in Infrapatellar Fat Pad.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by inflammation and cartilage degradation. The infrapatellar fat pad (IFP), located beneath the patella within the knee joint, serves as a key anatomical structure involved in cushioning and supporting the knee. It is also an active endocrine organ that secretes various bioactive substances, potentially influencing the local inflammatory environment and contributing to KOA pathogenesis.

A case of pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma diagnosed by detecting t(11;18)(q21;q21) in bronchial lavage fluid.

A 76-year-old woman was diagnosed with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. She underwent further investigation for concomitant bilateral pleural effusions and right pulmonary consolidation. MALT lymphoma with the t(11; 18)(q21; q21) translocation and were detected in pleural fluid.

Successful treatment of sequence type 2198 uncomplicated bacteremia with a 2-week antibiotic course.

There is a paucity of data on the clinical course and treatment of . Herein, we describe a successfully treated case of bacteremia. A 76-year-old man with lung adenocarcinoma developed bacteremia caused by penicillin-resistant, oxacillin-susceptible , which was identified through mass spectrometry and gene sequencing.
