Laparoscopic resection of a gastric lipoma following massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding: A case report.

Importance And Background: Gastric lipomas are rare submucosal tumours that account for less than 1 % of all stomach tumours. Despite their benign nature, they can lead to significant clinical manifestations such as gastric outlet obstruction and massive gastrointestinal haemorrhage.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 50-year-old woman with no prior comorbidities, presenting with severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Primary Intracranial Hemorrhage: Characteristics, Distribution, Risk Factors, and Outcomes-A Comparative Study between Jewish and Arab Ethnic Groups in Northern Israel.

This study aimed to investigate the differences in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) between Jews and Arabs residing in northern Israel, focusing on risk factors, hemorrhage volume, and functional outcome. A retrospective analysis was conducted utilizing a population-based registry to investigate intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes. The registry consisted of inpatients diagnosed with hemorrhagic stroke.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the ampulla of Vater: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) usually develop in the stomach and small intestine and only rarely occur in the ampulla of Vater (AV).

Case Presentation: We report a case of a GIST of the AV. A 21-year-old, previously healthy woman presented with a three-month history of epigastric pain, jaundice and weight loss.

Acute pancreatitis secondary to spontaneous intramural duodenal hematoma: A case report and a review of the literature.

Introduction: Intramural duodenal hematoma is a rare entity, often secondary to traumatic origin, but more rarely spontaneous due to blood flow disorders, especially in the context of anticoagulant therapy.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 66-year-old woman under anticoagulant treatment for atrial fibrillation, who was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis secondary to a spontaneous duodenal hematoma. The evolution was favorable under medical treatment.

Emergence of multi-drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Niger: A snapshot based on whole-genome sequencing.

Background: Among other West African countries experiencing the high endemicity of deadly tuberculosis, the situation in Niger is poorly evidenced by microbiological investigations.

Methodology/principal Findings: The study of 42 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from Niger by whole genome sequencing using Illumina iSeq technology yielded four M. tuberculosis lineages: Indo-Oceanic L1 (n = 1) (2.

Rapid Identification of Complex Using Mass Spectrometry: A Proof of Concept.

Mycobacteria that form the complex are responsible for deadly tuberculosis in animals and patients. Identification of these pathogens at the species level is of primary importance for treatment and source tracing and currently relies on DNA analysis, including whole genome sequencing (WGS), which requires a whole day. In this study, we report the unprecedented discrimination of complex species using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), with WGS as the comparative reference standard.

Whole Genome Sequence Analysis of Cattle Isolates, Algeria.

(), a complex species responsible for tuberculosis in cattle and zoonotic tuberculosis in humans, is present in Algeria. In Algeria however, the population structure is unknown, limiting understanding of the sources and transmission of bovine tuberculosis. In this study, we identified the whole genome sequence (WGS) of 13 strains isolated from animals exhibiting lesions compatible with tuberculosis, which were slaughtered and inspected in five slaughterhouses in Algeria.

Case Report: A New Mycobacterium ulcerans Genotype Causing Buruli Ulcer in Côte d'Ivoire.

Mycobacterium ulcerans, the opportunistic pathogen causing Buruli ulcer, is reported to affect rural populations in 36 tropical countries. We report one case of Buruli ulcer in a peri-urban area in Côte d'Ivoire, confirmed by whole genome sequencing which indicated a M. ulcerans genotype previously unreported in Côte d'Ivoire.

Mycobacterium bovis Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Algeria.

We analyzed 98 Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates collected in 2 regions of Algeria in 2015-2018 from 93 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. We identified 93/98 isolates as M. tuberculosis lineage 4 and 1 isolate as M.

Beyond phenotype: The genomic heterogeneity of co-infecting Mycobacterium abscessus smooth and rough colony variants in cystic fibrosis patients.

Two unrelated cystic fibrosis patients were co-infected with Mycobacterium abscessus smooth and rough phenotypes. Smooth M. abscessus is proposed as the infecting form, and the subsequent loss of glycopeptidolipids in the host leads to a rough phenotype.

Mycobacterium bovis Pulmonary Tuberculosis after Ritual Sheep Sacrifice in Tunisia.

A woman in France was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis after a ritual sheep sacrifice in her home country of Tunisia. This investigation sheds light on ritual sacrifice of sheep as a circumstance in which religious tradition and practices can expose millions of Muslims worldwide to this disease.

Tracing Mycobacterium ulcerans along an alimentary chain in Côte d'Ivoire: A one health perspective.

Background: Mycobacterium ulcerans is an environmental mycobacterium responsible for an opportunistic, noncontagious tropical infection named Buruli ulcer that necrotizes the skin and the subcutaneous tissues. M. ulcerans is thought to penetrate through breached skin after contact with contaminated wetland environments, yet the exact biotopes where M.

Translocation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis after experimental ingestion.

Human tuberculosis is a life-threatening infection following the inhalation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, while the closely related bacteria Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium canettii are thought to be transmitted by ingestion. To explore whether M. tuberculosis could also infect individuals by ingestion, male BALBc mice were fed 2 x 106 CFUs of M.

Shell-vial Assay in Diagnosis of Disseminated BCG Infection in an Immunodeficient Child.

We are reporting a case of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine-disseminated infection in a 19-month-old HIV-negative girl diagnosed with severe combined immunodeficiency. While standard culture protocols failed to isolate and culture the Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guérin strain, it was isolated from skin and mesenteric lymph node biopsies using the shell-vial assay, allowing whole-genome sequencing and in silico drug susceptibility testing.

Routine Culture-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rescue and Shell-Vial Assay, France.

We used shell-vial assay with a medium that buffered rifampin to isolate routine culture-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria from cerebrospinal fluid and rifampin-containing intervertebral disc and vertebral corpus of a patient in treatment for Pott's disease and disseminated tuberculosis. Whole-genome sequencing confirmed M. tuberculosis lineage 4 (Euro-American) strain.

Genome Sequence of sp. Strain Marseille-P9525, a Member of a Human Gut Microbiome.

Strain Marseille-P9525 was isolated from the gut microbiota of a 28-year-old woman and exhibits a 2.23-Mb (G+C content, 66.8%) draft genome sequence containing 1,902 protein-coding genes, 49 tRNAs, and 3 rRNAs.

"Mycobacterium mephinesia", a Mycobacterium terrae complex species of clinical interest isolated in French Polynesia.

A 59-year-old tobacco smoker male with chronic bronchitis living in Taravao, French Polynesia, Pacific, presented with a two-year growing nodule in the middle lobe of the right lung. A guided bronchoalveolar lavage inoculated onto Löwenstein-Jensen medium yielded colonies of a rapidly-growing non-chromogenic mycobacterium designed as isolate P7213. The isolate could not be identified using routine matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry and phenotypic and probe-hybridization techniques and yielded 100% and 97% sequence similarity with the respective 16S rRNA and rpoB gene sequences of Mycobacterium virginiense in the Mycobacterium terrae complex.
