We describe a rare case of an eleven-year-old child with undiagnosed underlying Crohn's disease who contracted Vibrio pelagius. Though the exact source remained undetermined, the child may have acquired it through infected sea food. Automated system failed to exactly identify the isolated organism; we used detailed biochemical tests for identification.

Article Synopsis
  • Glaucoma is a major cause of vision loss globally, highlighting the need for early detection, which this research addresses by using deep learning for automated diagnosis through retinal fundus photos.* -
  • The study introduces a new optic nerve head feature from OCT images and a deep learning classifier that can quickly differentiate between normal and abnormal eyes without manual input, improving the diagnostic process.* -
  • A new mixed loss function enhances the model's ability to deal with complex data and class imbalances, achieving outstanding accuracy (100%), specificity (99.8%), and sensitivity (99.2%), showcasing its potential for effective clinical application in glaucoma detection.*

In recent decades, the risk of developing opportunistic infections has increased in parallel with the ever-increasing number of people suffering from chronic immunosuppressive diseases or undergoing prosthetic surgery. is a Gram-positive and coagulase-negative bacterium. Usually found as a component of the healthy human and animal microbiota of the skin and mucosae, it can take on the role of an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing a variety of infections, ranging from mild to life-threatening, not only in immunocompromised patients but even, although rarely, in healthy people.

  • * Investigations found misplaced orbital mesh and damage to the lacrimal sac, leading to a surgical plan to correct these complications and improve aesthetics.
  • * The surgery involved removing the mesh, refracturing and securing the zygoma, and creating an opening in the nasal wall; post-op recovery was smooth, and the patient was satisfied with the results.
