It merits careful clinical assessment given the difficulty in diagnosis, impact on maternal health and association with placental insufficiency. We present a case of generalised pustulosis in a pregnant woman at 30 weeks' gestation and describe the clinico-pathological challenges in obtaining a diagnosis of GPPP.

- Discogenic chronic low back pain (cLBP) and radiculopathy are common and disabling, with traditional treatments often leading to further complications or degeneration of spinal discs.
- A new treatment strategy focuses on diagnosing and treating annulus fibrosus tears by using fibrin to seal these injuries and promote tissue growth, potentially offering a safer and more effective alternative.
- This method was tested in a retrospective cohort study involving patients who had not found relief from multiple prior treatments for cLBP lasting over six months, utilizing MRI for diagnosis.
Objectives: To perform a model-based cost-effectiveness evaluation of a rapid antimicrobial susceptibility test.
Design: A Markov model of a cohort of hospital inpatients with urinary tract infection (with inpatient numbers based on national administrative data from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2019).
Setting: Urinary tract infections (UTI) in acute National Health Service (NHS) Trusts in England, from the perspective of the NHS Healthcare system, at a national level.
Background: Long-term clinical data on biodegradable-polymer (BP) drug-eluting stents (DES) are limited. The objective of this study was to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of the BP-DES SYNERGY compared to XIENCE V, a durable-polymer (DP)-DES.
Methods: We compared patients treated with BP-DES or DP-DES at our center from 2008 to 2020.
