: Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection in a Woman With Short Bowel Syndrome.

, a member of the Erwiniaceae family, is a rarely reported human pathogen primarily associated with plants. This study presents a documented case of catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by in a 60-year-old female receiving home parenteral nutrition. Despite presenting with only minor clinical symptoms, blood cultures from both central and peripheral sites confirmed the presence of , identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and whole-genome sequencing.

Real-world Effectiveness of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for First or Second Clostridioides difficile Infection.

Background & Aims: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is associated with high mortality. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an established treatment for recurrent CDI, but its use for first or second CDI remains experimental. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of FMT for first or second CDI in a real-world clinical setting.

Safety and Efficacy of Midline vs Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters Among Adults Receiving IV Therapy: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Midline catheters (MCs) are widely used, but safety and efficacy compared with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) has not been adequately evaluated.

Objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of MCs with PICCs among adult patients with an anticipated intravenous therapy lasting from 5 to 28 days.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This parallel, 2-group, open-label, randomized clinical trial (RCT) was conducted in Denmark from October 2018 to February 2022 at a single academic tertiary care center.

This is a case report of two men aged 39 and 43 years with dissection of the coeliac trunk involving the splenic arteries causing splenic infarction. One case was associated with an increase in abdominal pressure during defaecation and the other occurred during treatment with methylphenidate. Based on the published 43 cases, risk factors include male sex, increased intraabdominal pressure or increased vascular pressure.
