Diagnostic value of thromboelastogram and thrombus molecular markers in early detection of deep vein thrombosis in patients with lower extremity fracture.

Background: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is an obstructive disease with a hindering venous reflux mechanism. The aim of this study was to identify independent risk factors for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with traumatic lower extremity fractures and assess the diagnostic value of thromboelastogram (TEG) and thrombus molecular markers.

Methods: Reviewed patients with lower extremity fractures were admitted from October 2022 to September 2023.

Umbilical abscess caused by Helcococcus kunzii: a case report and literature review.

Introduction: Helcococcus kunzii is a commensal bacterium found in the human skin that seldom causes infection. While there is documentation of abscesses; such as foot, breast, and brain abscesses; caused by H. kunzii, there are no reports of its causing umbilical abscesses.

with hypervirulent genes causes human bloodstream infections.

is a species within the new genus , which is typically a plant pathogen, with rare reports of human infection. The number of human infections may be underestimated because this new genus is under-represented among diagnostic tools. This report describes a case of bloodstream infection caused by .

Eggerthella lenta bacteremia successfully treated with ceftizoxime: case report and review of the literature.

Eggerthella lenta is a normal human microflora that is anaerobic, non-sporulating, and Gram positive. However, an increasing number of studies have shown that it could also be an important pathogen for humans, even causing life-threatening infection under certain conditions. However, understanding its pathogenic mechanism and treatment options still need to be improved; more clinical data are needed to explore it further.

Identification of differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in luminal-B breast cancer by RNA-sequencing.

Background: Luminal B cancers show much worse outcomes compared to luminal A. This present study aims to screen key lncRNAs and mRNAs correlated with luminal-B breast cancer.

Methods: Luminal-B breast cancer tissue samples and adjacent tissue samples were obtained from 4 patients with luminal-B breast cancer.
