Candida glabrata infection of a pancreatic pseudocyst in a COVID-19 patient: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Pancreatic pseudocysts remain a feared complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis and are often characterized by collections of fluids due to underlying damage to the pancreatic ducts, culminating in a walled-off region bereft of an epithelial layer but surrounded by granulation tissue. While fungal infections of pancreatic pseudocysts are rarely encountered, candida albicans remains the most frequently implicated organism.

Case Presentation: A 55-year-old male presented with pain in the left-hypochondriac region, accompanied by non-bilious emesis and nausea.

Epidemiology, clinical ramifications, and cellular pathogenesis of COVID-19 mRNA-vaccination-induced adverse cardiovascular outcomes: A state-of-the-heart review.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has overwhelming healthcare systems globally. To date, a myriad of therapeutic regimens has been employed in an attempt to curb the ramifications of a severe COVID-19 infection. Amidst the ongoing pandemic, the advent and efficacious uptake of COVID-19 vaccination has significantly reduced disease-related hospitalizations and mortality.

The Spectrum of Clinical Characteristics and Complications of Tetanus: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study From a Developing Nation.

Introduction While tetanus has largely been eradicated with the advent of the tetanus vaccine, its prevalence in Pakistan remains alarmingly high due to insufficient uptake of the vaccination program. The clinical presentations that the disease elicits range from mere opisthotonos to more sinister complications, including respiratory failure and death, often posing an insurmountable challenge for hospitals. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted and analyzed the medical charts of 43 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of tetanus infection.

Cystic Nontubular Jejunal Duplication Cyst Presenting As Acute Intestinal Obstruction: A Surgical Challenge.

Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that present with a vague constellation of symptoms such as vomiting and abdominal distension. Of these, cystic nontubular jejunal duplication cysts comprise an exceedingly small subset. Here, we delineate the case of a two-month-old female baby who presented with symptoms suggestive of acute intestinal obstruction.
