Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci: Current Understandings of Resistance in Relation to Transmission and Preventive Strategies.

Due to the limited treatment options and increased mortality rates, infection prevention and control strategies have been implemented for many years to mitigate dissemination of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) within healthcare settings. The overview provides an insight into the most recent research, particularly the pathogen's resilience in the healthcare environment, and the critical need for infection control strategies, which are currently being scrutinized by some researchers. The notable resilience of enterococci to various environmental conditions highlights the necessity for investigations into innovative technologies capable of effectively targeting the biofilm produced by enterococci on hospital surfaces.

Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase deficiency in five siblings with variable phenotypes, including fulminant fatal liver failure despite good engraftment of transplanted liver.

Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD) deficiency can, in one of its forms, be a rare cause of acute liver failure. Clinical presentation is nonspecific. Biochemical findings can reflect metabolic block, but vary depending on patient and his condition.

ANAL CANCER IN A RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENT: A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW.

Anal carcinoma is a rare tumor in the general population accounting for 1%-2% of all malignancies. Most anal cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. Human papillomavirus and immunosuppression are the main risk factors for developing anal squamous cell carcinoma.

Renal metastasis of gastric cancer caused acute kidney injury which resulted with hemodialysis: case report and literature review.

Gastric cancer ranks fourth among the most commonly diagnosed cancers, with over a million new cases diagnosed worldwide each year. Acute and chronic kidney damage are common in patients with malignant diseases and are associated with increased risk of complications and mortality. Rarely, acute renal insufficiency may result from bilateral infiltration of renal parenchyma by tumor cells from another organ.
