Pantoea infections are uncommon in humans. Most reports have involved adults or children after thorn injuries. There are only a few reports of systemic infections with Pantoea. This is the first report of the clinical picture of systemic Pantoea spp. infection in neonates as observed during an outbreak in a neonatal intensive care unit caused by infected parenteral nutrition solutions. Even though detected early, the infections had a fulminant course, causing septicemic shock and respiratory failure. Pulmonary disease was prominent and presented mainly as pulmonary hemorrhage and adult respiratory distress syndrome. The organism was sensitive to most antibiotics used in neonatal intensive care units, but the clinical response to antibiotic therapy was poor. The fatality rate was very high: 7 out of 8 infected infants succumbed to the infection (87.5%).

deficiency disorder (CDD), a developmental encephalopathy caused by mutations in the cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 () gene, is characterized by a complex and severe clinical picture, including early-onset epilepsy and cognitive, motor, visual, and gastrointestinal disturbances. This disease still lacks a medical treatment to mitigate, or reverse, its course and improve the patient's quality of life. Although CDD is primarily a genetic brain disorder, some evidence indicates systemic abnormalities, such as the presence of a redox imbalance in the plasma and skin fibroblasts from CDD patients and in the cardiac myocytes of a mouse model of CDD.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most frequent type of cardiac disease in cats. Due to its high prevalence and risk of sudden and severe signs, the disease is an important topic of various research. Despite the focus on the clinical course of the disease, studies presenting the pathological and histopathological patterns are rare.

In recent decades, serum tumor markers (STMs) have emerged as valuable adjuncts in early cancer detection and post-treatment surveillance. STMs are inexpensive, minimally invasive, and readily accessible tools that can be used to diagnose cancers, monitor patients' responses to treatment, and even detect recurrence without imposing additional burdens on patients. Emerging evidence has demonstrated the reliability of STMs in the prognostication of bladder cancer (BC).

Background: Assessing the acceptability of new malaria control interventions in clinical trials can be complex due to the need for strict ethical standards and specific trial procedures. While in-depth interviews and focus group discussions can provide useful insights, a more participatory method of data collection which complements these methods is photovoice. Photovoice offers a unique approach, empowering participants to share their experiences and perceptions on their own terms.
