Pseudoaneurysm-Induced Pain Following Ankle Arthroscopy: A Case Report and Literature Review.

BACKGROUND Arthroscopic surgery is esteemed for its arthroscopic lateral ligament repair to treating ankle ligament injuries, characterized by a low complication rate. Nevertheless, rare complications such as pseudoaneurysms require careful monitoring and a strategic approach to management during the postoperative follow-up period. This case report details a 42-year-old man with chronic instability in his left ankle.

Evaluation of Two SDS-Based Preparation Methods for Direct Identification and Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Yeasts from Positive Blood Cultures.

Objective: We evaluated two SDS-based preparation methods for direct identification of yeasts using MALDI-TOF MS analysis and antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST).

Methods: A total of 149 residual monomicrobial blood culture bottles (BCs) were included. For direct identification via MALDI-TOF MS analysis from positive BCs, two in-house methods with or without a 3-hr incubation step were evaluated.

Hematologic and molecular responses to ropeginterferon alfa-2b therapy of polycythemia vera: 48-week results from a prospective study.

To prevent thrombosis in patients with polycythemia vera (PV), achieving a complete hematologic response (CHR) is highly recommended in practice. In addition, a reduced JAK2 V617F mutation burden is expected to have a disease-modifying effect, and its molecular response (MR) is currently of significant interest. This study aimed to assess the association between CHR and MR in patients with PV following treatment with ropeginterferon alfa-2b.

Identifying emergency medicine program directors' expectations of competence upon entry into residency: Bridging the distance from the Association of American Medical Colleges Core Entrustable Professional Activities.

Background: Residency program directors (PDs) frequently describe students as unprepared for the patient care responsibilities expected of them upon entry into residency. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) developed the Core Entrustable Professional Activities (Core EPAs) to address this concern by defining 13 tasks students should be able to do with minimal supervision upon graduation. However, the Core EPAs remain difficult for PDs to use due to their breadth and lack of granularity.

Heat activation desensitizes Aedes aegypti transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (AaTRPA1) to chemical agonists that repel mosquitoes.

Mosquito transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channels are nociceptors that can be activated by noxious heat and/or chemicals (e.g., electrophiles).
