is a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a carbapenem-resistant strain isolated from a healthy newborn. The strain isolated in this study carried four plasmids that may serve as reservoirs for antibiotic resistance genes.

- The study aimed to assess how internal fixation affects ankle function after surgeries for type IV ankle fractures, including specific injuries to the medial malleolus and deltoid ligament.
- Researchers enrolled 84 patients from 2012 to 2014, documenting surgeries for two groups: those with medial malleolus fractures and those with deltoid ligament injuries, using the Olerud-Molander scoring system for follow-up assessments.
- Results showed a varied demographic, with an average age of 44.16 years and included patients with significant injuries such as large posterior malleolar fractures; the average follow-up time was 13.4 months post-surgery.

Article Synopsis
- * Conducted in Kunming, the research analyzed stool samples from 1,121 diarrhea patients and 319 healthy individuals using RT-PCR to detect the presence of HuCV, finding a higher infection rate in diarrhea cases compared to controls.
- * Results showed that NoV, especially the GII.4 strain, was the most prevalent subtype among diarrhea patients, indicating specific genotypes of NoV are associated with the disease, which could inform public health strategies in the region. *
Background: Acute diarrhea is a global health problem, resulting in high morbidity and mortality in children. It has been suggested that enteric pathogen co-infections play an important role in gastroenteritis, but most research efforts have only focused on a small range of species belonging to a few pathogen groups. This study aimed to assess the impact of co-infections with a broad range of enteric pathogens on children aged below five years who suffer from acute diarrhea in southwest China.
