Digital Ischemia and Gangrene: An Unusual Presentation of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.

Digital ischemia with gangrene is a rare manifestation of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We report a rare CML case with severe thrombocytosis presenting clinically as digital ischemia and gangrene, the sole primary symptom. A 40-year-old patient presented with pain and discoloration of the tips of the ring and little fingers of the right hand for 20 days, which later progressed to dry gangrene with a line of demarcation and pre-gangrenous changes in the index and middle fingers.

Assessing the Reliability of Postoperative Cross-Table Radiographs Compared to CT Scans for Measuring Acetabular Anteversion Angle Following Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate acetabular anteversion following total hip arthroplasty (THA) using cross-table lateral radiographs and CT scans and to determine the reliability of cross-table lateral radiographs compared to computed tomography (CT) scans for measuring acetabular anteversion.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of patients undergoing THA at Justice K.S.

Microbiological Quality of Coconut Water Sold in the Grande Vitória Region, Brazil, and Phenogenotypic Antimicrobial Resistance of Associated Enterobacteria.

This study aimed to evaluate the microbiological quality of coconut water sold from street carts equipped with cooling coils or refrigerated at bakeries in the Grande Vitória Region, Brazil. Additionally, it assessed the phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance profiles of isolated enterobacteria. The results indicated that coconut water sold at street carts had lower microbiological quality compared to refrigerated samples, as evidenced by significantly higher counts of mesophilic microorganisms.

Leiomyosarcoma of the bone: Unveiling the mystery of a spindly ossein.

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) represents one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas, involving various anatomical sites like the retroperitoneum, genitourinary tract, and extremities. LMS of the bone is extremely rare, with a 0.7% incidence of all primary malignant bone tumors.
