Hypocalcemia and Hypoparathyroidism Associated With Critical Illness and Aplastic Anemia.

Background/objective: Severe hypocalcemia is common in critically ill patients. There are different mechanisms. To our knowledge, there are no data about the acute presentation of hypocalcemia at the time of diagnosis of aplastic anemia (AA).

Catheter-based renal sympathetic nerve denervation on hypertension management outcomes.

Background: Renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) provides a minimally invasive interventional treatment modality for patients with resistant hypertension. However, the post-operative outcomes remain a key area of investigation since its earliest clinical trials.

Aim: To evaluate patient outcomes after RSD intervention among peer-reviewed patient cases.

Brevibacillus Laterosporus Bacteremia in an Adult.

 () is an aerobic gram-positive bacillus that is rarely associated with human infection. A review of multiple online databases revealed no other cases of bacteremia in an adult involving this organism. Historically, this "canoe-shaped" microbe has been characterized as a pathogen in invertebrates, and information regarding human infection is scarce.

Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis: We Are Still Behind.

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is an infection in the ascitic fluid. Despite published guidelines, an inappropriate diagnosis of SBP is frequent. In this study, we aim to evaluate guideline adherence in diagnosing SBP.

Disseminated histoplasmosis presenting as dental lesion in the absence of a vital organ, the thymus.

We present a case report of a patient who has rare anatomical anomalies and presented with an oral lesion that led to a diagnosis of disseminated histoplasmosis. The case brings forth important clinical considerations for a diagnosis of histoplasmosis.
