Spontaneous widespread muscle hematoma complicated by pyomyositis in a case of dengue hemorrhagic fever: a case report from Nepal.

Introduction And Importance: Most dengue infections are asymptomatic, and some of them develop haemorrhagic manifestations with or without shock. However, dengue can sometimes present with very rare complications like pyomyositis.

Case Presentation: A healthy 27-year-old male, presented with a 2-day fever, confirmed to be dengue through a positive non-structural protein 1 test.

Race/ethnic comparisons of waist-to-height ratio for cardiometabolic screening: The study of women's health across the nation.

Objective: To compare the performance of waist-to-height ratio as a screening tool for cardiometabolic conditions - hypertension, prediabetes/diabetes, dyslipidemia, and subclinical inflammation - in 5 race/ethnic groups of mid-life women.

Methods: Waist-to-height ratio and 4 cardiometabolic conditions were assessed in 3033 premenopausal midlife women (249 Hispanic, 226 Chinese, 262 Japanese, 1435 European-American, and 861 African American). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) were compared across the five race/ethnic groups using waist-to-height ratio to determine the likelihood of the four cardiometabolic conditions.
