Department of Orthopedics, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
Objective: This study focuses on how patients experience the time following amputation after primary limb salvage surgery due to musculoskeletal malignancies. Limb salvage is state of the art in the treatment of musculoskeletal tumours. Nonetheless, in some cases, limb salvage can become problematic over time, resulting in poorer limb function and septic outcomes.

Internal Medicine, Cooper University Hospital, Camden, USA.
This case report presents a complex and challenging scenario of recurrent () bacteremia and tricuspid valve endocarditis in a 77-year-old male patient with multiple comorbidities and indwelling medical devices. The patient's medical history was significant for T4 paraplegia, neurogenic bladder requiring a chronic indwelling suprapubic catheter, heart block status post-permanent pacemaker placement, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and chronic sacral wounds. The case highlights the difficulties in managing antibiotic-resistant infections, particularly in patients with implantable devices and chronic wounds.

January 2025
Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Objective: Percutaneous vegetation debulking has been reported to treat tricuspid valve infective endocarditis (TVIE), but data on feasibility compared with conventional surgical strategies are limited. We aimed to compare short-term outcomes of suction debulking with partial venovenous bypass to conventional open surgery in this population.
Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study that included all patients with isolated TVIE who underwent suction debulking with partial venovenous bypass or tricuspid valve surgery between January 2010 and December 2022.
Short-term and long-term outcomes of acute severe ulcerative colitis in Taiwan: a multicenter study with pre- and post-biologics comparison.

January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, National Taiwan University College of Medicine, Taipei, Taiwan.
Background/aims: Data from Asia regarding the short-term and long-term outcomes for acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) are limited. We assessed the outcomes of ASUC, identified the risk factors for colectomy, and compared colectomy rates between the pre-biologics and post-biologics eras in Taiwan.
Methods: The patients with an ASUC diagnosis between January 2013 and March 2022 at 5 tertiary medical centers were retrospectively analyzed.
