Urban Birds as Antimicrobial Resistance Sentinels: White Storks Showed Higher Multidrug-Resistant Levels Than Seagulls in Central Spain.

The presence of AMR bacteria in the human-animal-environmental interface is a clear example of the One Health medicine. Several studies evidence the presence of resistant bacteria in wildlife, which can be used as a good indicator of anthropization level on the ecosystem. The fast increase in AMR in the environment in the last decade has been led by several factors as globalization and migration.

Colonization with Enterobacteriaceae-Producing ESBLs, AmpCs, and OXA-48 in Wild Avian Species, Spain 2015-2016.

Antibiotic resistance is a global threat of complex and changeable epidemiology. The role of wild birds in the dissemination of antibacterial resistance might be underestimated. We studied the cloacal colonization by cefotaxime-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in 668 wild birds in Spain.

[Skin lesions from the application of suction cups for therapeutic purposes].

The application of suction cups or cupping is a medicinal practice that is very widespread in Asian countries. The presence of circular areas of erythema, ecchymosis or blood blisters symmetrically distributed on the shoulders, back, thorax or lumbar area should suggest the use of this technique. The number of followers of traditional Chinese medicine is increasing in the Western world, so we should be familiar with these practices in order to prevent social and/or legal conflicts that may arise from mistaken diagnoses of abuse.

[Amyopathic dermatomyositis associated with a recurrence of breast cancer].

The term "amyopathic dermatomyositis", or dermatomyositis "sine myositis" is used to describe those patients who present with the skin manifestations typical of dermatomyositis, but with no evidence of inflammatory myopathy. Amyopathic dermatomyositis may be associated with an underlying neoplasm, the same as with classic dermatomyositis. We present the case of a 59-year-old female patient, with cutaneous findings typical of dermatomyositis, with no proximal muscle weakness and with normal serum muscle enzymes, which stayed in a normal range throughout the later follow-up period, although the electromyogram performed six months later showed alterations with a myopathic pattern.
