Article Synopsis
- C. fetus is a rare cause of meningitis, with only 3 reported cases of subdural empyema associated with it.

- He underwent successful treatment, including burr hole drainage for bilateral subdural empyema, and was discharged without complications after the infection was confirmed.
A method of induction of moderate hyperthermia with a plate heater and a direct current energy source was investigated in the VX-2 rabbit sarcoma model. The theoretical distribution of temperature in the rabbit brain was calculated under various heating conditions. The calculated temperatures coincided well with the temperatures of moderate hyperthermia measured by a thermocouple to a depth of 7 mm under the heater.
