Localized scleroderma with pulmonary arterial hypertension and pulmonary interstitial fibrosis in a patient with positive Th/to antibodies: Case report and review of literature.

Morphea is an auto-immune disease, and its association with other immune-mediated diseases should not come as a surprise. Dermatologists should be aware of its possible coexistence with severe systemic involvement.

Effectiveness of third-generation cephalosporins or piperacillin compared with cefepime or carbapenems for severe infections caused by wild-type AmpC β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales: A multi-centre retrospective propensity-weighted study.

Background: The optimal treatment regimen for infections caused by wild-type AmpC β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales remains controversial. This study compared the outcomes of bloodstream infections (BSI) and pneumonia according to the type of definitive antibiotic therapy: third-generation cephalosporin (3GC), piperacillin ± tazobactam, cefepime or carbapenem.

Methods: All cases of BSI and pneumonia caused by wild-type AmpC β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales over 2 years in eight university hospitals were reviewed.

[Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis associated with erythema nodosum: a case report].

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IMD) is a chronic benign inflammatory disease of the breast which can mimic breast cancer. It is more common in young women of childbearing age and poses a challenge in diagnosis of inflammatory breast tumor. We report the case of a 26-year-old female patient who presented with inflammatory breast.

The Syp1/FCHo2 protein induces septin filament bundling through its intrinsically disordered domain.

The septin collar of budding yeast is an ordered array of septin filaments that serves a scaffolding function for the cytokinetic machinery at the bud neck and compartmentalizes the membrane between mother and daughter cell. How septin architecture is aided by septin-binding proteins is largely unknown. Syp1 is an endocytic protein that was implicated in the timely recruitment of septins to the newly forming collar through an unknown mechanism.
