Purpose: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most prevalent pathogens in cystic fibrosis (CF), being of special relevance those methicillin-resistant (MRSA). The livestock-associated (LA)-MRSA lineage CC398 is an emerging problem, specially related to pig-farming (PF) environments. The objective was to characterize the S.

A 49-year-old female with no pre-morbidities comes in with sudden, painless loss of vision in the left eye (OS) after a facial hyaluronic acid (HA) injection for aesthetic purposes one hour ago. Visual acuity was no light perception (NLP). OS examination revealed a mid-non-reactive mydriasis and complete ophthalmoplegia.

- This study investigated bacteriocin gene clusters (BGCs) in 22 Staphylococcus isolates from various sources (like food, pets, and the environment) known to produce antimicrobial peptides called bacteriocins.* -
- Researchers found five types of BGCs across 18 of the isolates, with a high prevalence of lanthipeptides, including some novel variants not found in existing databases.* -
- The study suggests that these bacteriocin-producing Staphylococcus species, particularly coagulase-negative staphylococci, could be promising sources for discovering new bacteriocins.*
Article Synopsis
- A study examined 259 staphylococci from healthy nestling white storks, focusing on their antimicrobial activity against 14 target bacteria.
- Nine of these staphylococci were identified as antimicrobial-producing isolates, with varying levels of activity primarily against Gram-positive bacteria.
- Notably, one isolate (X3764) demonstrated significant antimicrobial effects against a broad range of representative bacterial species from the storks, and genetic analysis suggested the presence of antimicrobial compounds in these isolates.
Leukocyte and platelet counts as prognostic values of testicular germ cell tumours.

Introduction: The immune system plays an essential role in the organism's response to cancer. Several haematological markers can influence prognosis and survival of patients. The objective of this study is to determine their prognostic value in testicular germ cell tumours.

Other cutaneous syndromes have been associated with somatic gene mutations, such as FGFR3 in familial seborrhoeic keratosis.
Objectives: To describe the clinical, dermoscopic and histopathological features of multiple cutaneous lesions, mostly infundibulocystic basal cell carcinomas (ICBCCs) and pure reticulated acanthomas, present in a family affected by familial seborrhoeic keratosis.
Introduction: A foreign body reaction due to silicone where it is infiltrated or at the places to which it can migrate is known as siliconoma. The use of silicone in breast augmentation procedures can provoke this reaction at the neck level in cases of leakage from mammary implants.
Methods: We reviewed the cases of patients with increased size neck lymph nodes who had previously undergone plastic surgery of the breast with highly cohesive silicone gel implants.
