Cholestatic Hepatitis: A Rare Manifestation of Infectious Mononucleosis.

One of the main clinical manifestations of infection by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is infectious mononucleosis. In this clinical syndrome, mild hepatitis with a slight elevation of aminotransferases is common. However, cholestasis is rare and usually occurs alongside a more severe, cytolytic hepatitis.

Plasmapheresis as an Ischaemic Stroke Treatment: A Rare Case of Acquired Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.

Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (acquired TTP) is a rare clinical syndrome caused by a decreased ADAMST13 activity, leading to systemic microvascular thrombotic events, with high mortality rates when the diagnosis and treatment are delayed. The authors report an acquired TTP in a patient with cerebrovascular disease. The aim is to emphasize the importance of considering atypical acquired TTP clinical presentations in order to optimize diagnostic and treatment approaches, minimize possible sequels, and improve the prognosis.

Development and psychometric evaluation of a Total Worker Health® practice scale.

Objective: Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) professionals increasingly need to assess and mitigate a broad scope of worker safety, health, and well-being concerns that extend beyond traditional OSH training curricula. Work-related and non-work-related psychosocial hazards, chronic physical and mental health conditions, and changing work arrangements call for an integrative, public health approach to occupational risk management; this approach has been called, "Total Worker Health®" by United States public health authorities (Schulte et al. 2019).

Application of Artificial Intelligence to Automate the Reconstruction of Muscle Cross-Sectional Area Obtained by Ultrasound.

Purpose: Manual reconstruction (MR) of the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) from sequential ultrasound (US) images is accessible, is reproducible, and has concurrent validity with magnetic resonance imaging. However, this technique requires numerous controls and procedures during image acquisition and reconstruction, making it laborious and time-consuming. The aim of this study was to determine the concurrent validity of VL CSA assessments between MR and computer vision-based automated reconstruction (AR) of CSA from sequential images of the VL obtained by US.
