Pink discoloration in breast milk is a rare phenomenon arising from various benign or pathological causes. Serratia marcescens, a gram-negative bacterium known for its characteristic red pigment prodigiosin, is a notable cause. This case report examines the clinical approach, diagnostic workup, microbiological findings, and management strategies for a neonate presenting with neon pink stains in breast milk.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAims: Patients with a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) following an acute myocardial infarction (MI) are considered to be at risk of progressive adverse cardiac remodelling which can lead to the development of heart failure and death. The early addition of a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor to standard treatment may delay or prevent progressive adverse remodelling in these patients.
Methods And Results: We performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre trial using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction following MI.
Article Synopsis
- Residents of supported disability homes in Victoria, Australia, frequently call the Victorian Poisons Information Centre for guidance following medication incidents, with a total of 391 calls logged during a three-month period.
- The majority of incidents involved missed doses (37%) and accidental overdoses (20%), with calls predominantly occurring outside regular business hours (73%).
- Many incidents involved moderate to high-risk medications, highlighting significant gaps in medication management support, particularly after hours, for both residents and disability support workers.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate a new cricotracheostomy technique for creating a permanent airway opening in dogs with upper airway obstruction.
- Eight dogs underwent the procedure, and results showed they all recovered well, with no complications related to the stoma, although some needed additional skin adjustments.
- Owner feedback indicated a high level of satisfaction regarding their pets' quality of life post-surgery, suggesting that this technique is promising and warrants further comparison to traditional methods.
