[Takayasu arteritis after COVID-19 infection in a 26-year-old female patient with Crohn's disease].

Extraintestinal manifestations, e.g. of the skin, joints or liver, are frequently found in Crohn's disease.

Differentiation between rebound thymic hyperplasia and thymic relapse after chemotherapy in pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma.

Background: Rebound thymic hyperplasia (RTH) is a common phenomenon caused by stress factors such as chemotherapy (CTX) or radiotherapy, with an incidence between 44% and 67.7% in pediatric lymphoma. Misinterpretation of RTH and thymic lymphoma relapse (LR) may lead to unnecessary diagnostic procedures including invasive biopsies or treatment intensification.

Whole genome sequencing reveals a prolonged and spatially spread nosocomial outbreak of Panton-Valentine leucocidin-positive meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (USA300).

Background: Whole genome sequencing (WGS) helps to better investigate the transmission and characterization of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains.

Aim: We describe the detection and unfolding of a prolonged and spatially distributed nosocomial outbreak of Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL)-positive MRSA ST8 (USA300).

Methods: The outbreak was detected by the combination of whole genome sequence (WGS)-based typing, which is implemented for routine surveillance of multidrug-resistant bacteria in our institution, and in-depth epidemiological investigation.

Dorsal versus transgluteal approach for hip hemiarthroplasty: an analysis of early complications in seven hundred and four consecutive cases.

Purpose: Hemiarthroplasty (HA) is an established treatment for femoral neck fractures of the elderly. Several surgical approaches are currently used including dorsal and transgluteal. It is still unclear whether one approach may be advantageous.

Radioiodinated phenylalanine derivatives to image pancreatic cancer: a comparative study with [18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose in human pancreatic carcinoma xenografts and in inflammation models.

This work validated an in vivo model of human pancreatic cancer for preclinical studies and evaluated p-amino-3-[123I]iodo-L-phenylalanine (AIPA) and p-[123I]iodo-L-phenylalanine (IPA) as potential imaging agents for pancreatic cancer. The primary human pancreatic adenocarcinoma PaCa44 and PanC1 cells (1.5-2.
