Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses a gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium from the genus that causes various hospital-acquired infections, such as UTIs, pneumonia, and wound infections.
- - It has developed resistance to multiple antibiotics, including the powerful carbapenem class, and has a rare association with gas gangrene but has never been documented to cause pseudoaneurysm (PA) of the transplant renal artery.
- - The report details an unusual case of a multi-drug resistant strain leading to gas formation and mycotic PA of the transplant renal artery, ultimately resulting in severe complications requiring the removal of the kidney graft.
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) treatment through Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) has an alternative form of video surveillance therapy (VOT) that utilizes the technological capabilities of smartphones to provide patients with low-cost access to doctors without impacting their work and personal life. We aimed to assess TB patients' drug compliance, perceptions, and feasibility towards smartphone-based video direct observed therapy (VDOT) in Jeddah, KSA.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a prospective non-randomized interventional study.
Purpose: Dentists face a great deal of professional stress, in dental school and in practice. Their personal, as well as professional lives, get affected negatively by stress and poor mental health.

Anterior odontoid screw fixation is not advised for this pattern of odontoid fracture because of the difficult trajectory for screw insertion despite its advantage of salvaging the upper cervical spine rotatory range of movement. This article presents a new transoral manipulation technique for reduction of anteriorly displaced type II odontoid fracture and review of the literature.
