Lemierre's syndrome (LS) is a rare condition characterized by septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJV). Typically, the primary infection originates in the oropharynx, progressing to the lateral pharyngeal space, IJV, and potentially leading to bacteremia. Through septic embolization, these patients can develop severe complications, underscoring the importance of early diagnosis.

The spleen plays a crucial role in filtering aging blood cells and defending against encapsulated microorganisms. While not essential for survival, splenic dysfunction can lead to severe complications, including organ failure, infection, and death. This case study examines a rare presentation of drug-induced splenic septic thrombophlebitis secondary to pancreatitis caused by an adverse reaction to ceftriaxone.

In recent years, an increasing number of reports have described invasive infections caused by bacteria from (SAGs). seems to be more related with pleuropulmonary infections and abscess of the brain and deep soft tissues, and it is more likely to cause suppurative and non-bacteremic infections compared to other members of the same genus. We present two clinical cases of invasive infections in pediatric patients: a liver abscess case and a pansinusitis case associated with bilateral otomastoiditis and parapharyngeal abscess complicated by acute mediastinitis, thrombophlebitis of the cavernous sinus, and thrombosis of the cranial tract of the ipsilateral jugular vein.

Background: CDK4/6 inhibitors are highly valued, but the incidence of cardiovascular adverse events (CVAEs) associated with CDK4/6 inhibitors is not clear.
Objective: Our aim was therefore to assess the risk of developing CVAEs associated with CDK4/6 inhibitors, by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), along with a pharmacovigilance study of the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.
Methods: Eligible CVAEs were extracted from the ClinicalTrials.

After clinical evaluation, especially clinical prediction rules, appropriately ordered venous duplex has become the standard test for evaluating and excluding deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Ultrasound is useful for lower- and upper-extremity veins. Protocols include grayscale, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler.
