Multiple Drug-Resistant CLABSI from an Extremely Rare Bacterium, .

is a lactose nonfermenting Gram-negative bacillus (NFGNB) found in soil, plants, and some water sources but rarely implicated as a human pathogen. Its scarcity in the medical literature and resistance to numerous broad-spectrum antibiotics such as carbapenems, cephalosporins, and beta-lactam/lactamase inhibitors pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We present the first reported case, to the best of our knowledge, of sepsis from central line-associated blood stream infection from in the United States.

Sulcular Modified Internal Labial Enhancement (SMILE) Technique for Gingival Augmentation.

The concept of periodontal root coverage has evolved over many years. To achieve high predictability a minimally invasive approach that reduces morbidity and can provide root coverage for multiple teeth in the same surgery is needed. This article describes a novel approach that represents a progression of the latest tunneling techniques in root coverage.

Ipilimumab- and Nivolumab-Induced Colitis Causing Severe Hypokalemia and QTc Prolongation.

Immune-mediated colitis is an uncommon but well-documented adverse event in patients receiving nivolumab or ipilimumab therapy. In this report, we present a 69-year-old man who developed severe hypokalemia and colitis with significant corrected Q-T segment (QTc) prolongation as a result of combination nivolumab-ipilimumab immunotherapy for clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Faculty Use and Perceptions of Service-Learning in Radiologic Science Education.

Purpose: To investigate faculty integration of service-learning into radiologic science curricula and its effects on faculty and students.

Methods: An online survey was distributed to radiologic science faculty to assess the status of service-learning in radiologic science education. Invitations were sent to 2351 faculty in diagnostic medical sonography, nuclear medicine technology, radiation therapy, and radiography programs.

Integrated community case management: planning for sustainability in five African countries.

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) launched an initiative to plan for the sustainability of integrated community case management (iCCM) programmes supported by the Rapid Access Expansion (RAcE) Programme in five African countries in 2016. WHO contracted experts to facilitate sustainability planning among Ministries of Health, WHO, nongovernmental organisation grantees, and other stakeholders.

Methods: We designed an iterative and unique process for each RAcE project area which involved creating a sustainability framework to guide planning; convening meetings to identify and prioritise elements of the framework; forming technical working groups to build country ownership; and, ultimately, creating roadmaps to guide efforts to fully transfer ownership of the iCCM programmes to host countries.
