Molecular Characterization of Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Isolates Through Whole-Genome Sequencing: A Comprehensive Analysis of Serotypes, Sequence Types, and Antimicrobial and Virulence Genes.

Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a menace, spreading among bacterial species globally. AMR is now recognized as a silent pandemic responsible for treatment failures. Therefore, an effective surveillance mechanism is warranted to understand the bacterial species isolated from human clinical specimens.

Effects of adherence to treatment for repositioning therapy, physical therapy, and cranial remolding orthoses in infants with cranial deformation.

Deformational head shapes are most often treated through repositioning therapy (RT) and/or cranial remolding orthotic (CRO) treatment. However, there is conflicting evidence about the effectiveness of each method, and treatment compliance is suspected to affect treatment effectiveness. This study examines participant adherence with these treatment methods and explores if cranial correction is related to compliance.

Surgical strategies in the management of aggressive spinal haemangiomas: Retrospective case series with literature review and a practical treatment algorithm.

Purpose: We studied the clinico-radiological features and treatment outcomes of patients with aggressive spinal haemangiomas.

Methods: We undertook a retrospective review of 24 patients with aggressive spinal haemangiomas managed at our centre from 2004 to 2016. The cohort was divided into two groups.

Surgical excision versus clinical follow-up: Outcomes of benign intraductal papillomas diagnosed on core needle biopsy.

Objective: To compare outcomes between benign intraductal papillomas diagnosed on core need biopsy that were excised (BIP-E) versus those that were followed-up (BIP-F) at our institution.

Methods: Patients were identified by an electronic data base search from January 2010 to October 2016. After exclusions, clinical, radiological and histologic variables were evaluated and biopsy and excision slides reviewed.
