Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to establish epidemiological cut-off values for the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 10 antimicrobial agents against the bacteria Vibrio parahaemolyticus using standardized testing methods.
- Eight laboratories conducted broth microdilution tests at two different temperatures (35°C and 28°C) to assess the effect of incubation temperature on MIC values, finding that many values were consistent across both temperatures.
- The generated data will be submitted to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute to help set international standards for interpreting antimicrobial susceptibility tests for this species.
Aims: The role of radiotherapy (RT) for inoperable gastric cancer (IGC) is commonly low-dose, given reactively for symptoms (e.g. bleeding), in contrast to the oesophagus, where high quality evidence exists for higher doses of RT.

Subsequently, the PRODIGE24-CCTG PA.6 trial showed even longer survival for modified fluorouracil, folinic acid, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFIRINOX) than gemcitabine but had more restrictive eligibility criteria.

This study presents a case series of patients undergoing mWG at a single institution to identify factors associated with trends in post-operative follow-up.
Methods: Retrospective review of trans women patients who underwent mWG between March 2018 and July 2023 was performed.
Objective(s): Posterior pharyngeal wall (PPW) injection is often employed to treat velopharyngeal deficiency (VPD). We sought to analyze the impact of PPW injection on severity of dysphagia and dysphonia.
Methods: Retrospective chart review was conducted of patients undergoing PPW injection from 2018 to 2023 at a tertiary laryngology center.
