Department of Pulmonology.
Article Synopsis
- Prevotella species are typically harmless bacteria found in the intestines and mouth but can cause infections in immune-compromised individuals.
- A 35-year-old man presented with high fever and chest pain, showing signs of an infection with severe respiratory symptoms and poor oral hygiene.
- After medical imaging revealed a loculated pyopneumothorax, a chest tube was inserted, draining foul-smelling pus that tested positive for Prevotella Intermediata, which responded well to treatment.
Inferior vena cava contrast reflux grade is associated with a reduced cardiac index in acute pulmonary embolism.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA.
Background And Aims: Patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) commonly present with a significantly reduced cardiac index (CI). However, the identification of this more severe profile requires invasive hemodynamic monitoring. Whether inferior vena cava (IVC) contrast reflux, as a marker of worse right ventricular function, can predict invasive hemodynamics has not been explored.

UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, University College London, London, UK.
Corneal dystrophies are phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous, often resulting in visual impairment caused by corneal opacification. We investigated the genetic cause of an autosomal dominant corneal stromal dystrophy in a pedigree with eight affected individuals in three generations. Affected individuals had diffuse central stromal opacity, with reduced visual acuity in older family members.
