Tigecycline-Induced Acute Pancreatitis with Electrocardiogram Changes in Renal Insufficiency Elderly.

Background: The prevalence of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant pathogens has led to increased reliance on broad-spectrum antimicrobials, such as tigecycline. This medicine is commonly used to treat complicated skin and intraabdominal infections as well as community-acquired pneumonia. However, the increasing use of tigecycline has been linked to serious complications, including acute pancreatitis.

Son of a beach: Coastal development and the loss of natural beaches over time (1919 to 2018) on Okinawa Island, southern Japan.

The coastline of Okinawa Island, Japan, has been affected by human-made alterations for decades, often from land reclamation and coastal defense construction. Here, we use an Imperial Japanese Army map made between 1919 and 1921 to describe the composition of the Okinawan coastline approximately 100 years ago, and by overlapping this old map with a modern-day map of Okinawa (2018), we identified 131 sites where coastlines showed clear human-made alterations. For these sites, we examined what kinds of ecosystems were lost and what has replaced them.

The association of rotator cuff muscle morphology and glenoid morphology in primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis.

Background: This retrospective study investigated associations of rotator cuff muscle atrophy (MA) and fatty infiltration (FI) with glenoid morphology.

Methods: Patients with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis who presented to Penn State Bone and Joint Institute's orthopaedic clinic from September 2002 to December 2019 as total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) candidates were evaluated. MA was determined by the cross-sectional area of each rotator cuff muscle on pre-operative MR and CT scans.

Effects of Middle-Aged Women's Demographics, Health Behavior, And Health Status on Health-Related Quality of Life by Economic Activity Participation: Panel Evidence from Korea.

Background: Middle-aged women have lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL) than men, and women's participation in economic activities is an important issue. In this study, the middle-aged female population was classified by economic activity participation to explore HRQoL and to identify related factors.

Methods: We obtained data from the 2017 Korea Health Panel Survey ( = 1857 women aged 50-64 years), analyzed with chi-squared tests, -tests, analyses of variance, and multiple regression analyses.
