He suffered from general fatigue and erectile dysfunction after the treatment with transdermal fentanyl for chronic pain by traffic injury. Endocrine examinations and hormone stimulating tests showed that he had hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Article Synopsis
  • Streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome (TSLS) can rapidly lead to septic shock and has a high mortality rate of 40%.
  • A case involved a 65-year-old man who developed severe symptoms like eyelid swelling and difficulty breathing, ultimately resulting in his death from multiple organ failure 18 days after hospitalization.
  • The infection was suspected to be caused by Group A streptococcus and highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and aggressive treatment for better outcomes in TSLS cases.

A technique for the narrowband generation of ultrafast acoustic and thermal transients in thin films is demonstrated; this technique allows for enhanced detectability of these transients. The approach pursued uses a reduced-bandwidth, optical pulse train for excitation that is constructed from a series of time-delayed pulses derived from a single-laser pulse. The underlying physical limitations of this approach are considered in order to assess conditions under which successful bandwidth reduction can be realized.
