Multiple visceral microaneurysms of mycotic origin are very uncommon. We present an 11-year-old child with the clinical and biochemical signs of septicemia in whom arteriographic study revealed multiple microaneurysms of renal, hepatic, gastroduodenal, ileocolic and right colic arteries. Six weeks of antibacterial treatment resulted in resolution of the septicemia and most of the aneurysms healed without the need for endovascular or surgical treatment.

A national cross-sectional study on latent profile analysis of occupational fatigue among Chinese nurses in the early post-COVID-19 era.

Department of Obstetric Nursing, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: Occupational fatigue is a widespread condition within the nursing workforce, adversely affecting both nurses' health and patient safety. The protracted duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, approaching 3 years, has exacerbated the challenges faced by nurses globally. The escalation in patient numbers and the high incidence of infections among healthcare workers have intensified occupational fatigue.

Department of Medical Science, School of Health and Welfare, Dalarna University, Falun, Sweden.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic presented a 'double-edged sword' for older adults: not only were they more susceptible to the virus, but its broader consequences also exacerbated other challenges, particularly those related to psychosocial well-being. Limited evidence exists on how older adults perceive the pandemic and its impact on their well-being and the role of social workers in addressing these challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings like Nigeria.
Aim: This study explored older adults' perceived risks regarding COVID-19, its impact on their psychosocial well-being, and the role of social workers in addressing these challenges in Nigeria.
Evaluation of gray-matter and white-matter microstructural abnormalities in children with growth hormone deficiency: a comprehensive assessment with synthetic magnetic resonance imaging.
Quant Imaging Med Surg

Department of Radiology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Pediatric growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a disease resulting from the impaired growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor-1 (GH-IGF-1) axis, but the effects of GHD on children's behavior and brain microstructural structure alterations have not yet been fully clarified. We aimed to investigate the quantitative profiles of gray matter and white matter in pediatric GHD using synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods: The data of 50 children with GHD and 50 typically developing (TD) children were prospectively collected.
Alterations in local activity and whole-brain functional connectivity in human immunodeficiency virus-associated neurocognitive disorders: a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study.
Quant Imaging Med Surg
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Beijing Youan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background: Approximately half of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients experience HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND); however, the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying HAND remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate changes in functional brain activity patterns during the early stages of HIV infection by comparing local and global indicators using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI).
Methods: A total of 165 people living with HIV (PLWH) but without neurocognitive disorders (PWND), 173 patients with asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment (ANI), and 100 matched healthy controls (HCs) were included in the study.
The perinatal microbiota-gut-brain axis: Implications for postpartum depression.
Neuroimmunomodulation
January 2025
Background: Pregnancy and childbirth are accompanied by widespread maternal physiological adaptations and hormonal shifts, that have been suggested to result in a period of vulnerability for the development of mood disorders such as postpartum depression (PPD). There is also evidence of peripartum changes in the composition of the gut microbiota, but the potential contribution of intestinal microbes to the adaptations, or subsequent vulnerabilities, during this period are unknown.
Summary: Here we outline key pathways involved in peripartum adaptations including GABAergic signaling, oxytocin and immunomodulation that are also associated with susceptibility to mood disorders and present evidence that these pathways are modulated by gut microbes.
