Retroperitoneal Müllerian cyst causing uterine protrusion in a teenage girl.

Objective: To describe a rare case of a retroperitoneal Müllerian cyst in a teenage girl with a protruding uterus and associated urogenital anomalies, and to discuss the challenges faced in differential diagnosis and management of such cases.

Case Report: We present the case of a 14-year-old girl presented with a protruding uterus for several weeks, with a history of twin-twin transfusion syndrome at birth. Initial ultrasonography identified a large pelvic cystic tumor.

Identification of key risk areas and failure modes using the FMEA method for the prevention and control of major infectious diseases in a stomatology department.

Purpose: To perform risk assessment and analysis of potential infection during stomatology workflow in a hospital in the context of a major infectious disease outbreak, and to determine the key failure modes and measures to prevent and control infection.

Method: Following the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method based on the stomatology workflow, the opinions of 30 domain-experts in related fields were collected through questionnaires to determine all potential failure modes in the severity (S), occurrence (O), and detectability (D) dimensions. The group score was then integrated through the median method and the risk priority number (RPN) was obtained.

In vitro culture and confocal microscopy study of Maritrema gratiosum Nicoll, 1907 (Digenea): From metacercaria to ovigerous adult.

This study set out to characterise the in vitro development, including musculature, of the microphallid parasite of the barnacle Semibalanus balanoides (Linnaeus, 1767), Maritrema gratiosum Nicoll, 1907 collected in Scotland. An in vitro culture model was developed to obtain ovigerous adults of M. gratiosum and their morphology was observed.

A Decade-Long Review of the Virulence, Resistance, and Epidemiological Risks of in ICUs.

, a major opportunistic pathogen, causes severe infections in both community and healthcare settings, especially in intensive care units (ICUs), where multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains, such as carbapenem-resistant (CRKP), pose significant treatment challenges. The rise in hypervirulent (hvKP) with enhanced virulence factors complicates management further. The ST11 clone, prevalent in China, exhibits both resistance and virulence traits, contributing to hospital outbreaks.
