The virulence potential of 23 yeasts recovered from intravascular catheters and the hands of workers in a hospital in the northwestern region of Paraná were evaluated. Yeasts recovered from catheters presented greater adherence and were more hydrophobic (p<0.05) than yeasts recovered from hands. Candida non-albicans species expressed the virulence factors evaluated more intensely.

Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome of pregnancy with acute massive cerebral infarction: A case report.

December 2024
Department of Oncology, Loudi Central Hospital, Loudi, China.
Rationale: Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is the most serious type of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) and can be easily confused with other disorders, such as hemolytic uremic syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation and thrombocytopenia syndromes. Timely diagnosis of CAPS poses considerable challenges due to its rarity and the fact that clinicians often lack knowledge of the disease.
Patient Concerns: A 21-year-old patient was 32 weeks and 5 days pregnant when she presented to the hospital with a 7-hour history of sudden onset of left-sided limb weakness with no apparent cause.

Pancreatitis is a rare but serious condition in obstetric patients, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It can range from mild acute pancreatitis to severe complications such as necrosis, abscesses, pseudocysts, and multi-organ failure. While hypertriglyceridemia is a common cause, pancreatitis has also been linked to preeclampsia and shock.

Background: In clinical practice, intravascular hemolysis is not common after interventional cardiovascular procedures. Although diagnostic and treatment techniques have developed, with the increasing importance placed on people's own health and the popularity of cardiovascular intervention, there have been occasional reports of hemolysis after different cardiovascular interventions, mainly including cardiac pacemaker implantation, atrial-fibrillation radiofrequency ablation, transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI), transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) and percutaneous repair of Gerbode defect and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with Impella. However, so far, there have been no relevant reports on postoperative hemolysis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Article Synopsis
- Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare illness that causes symptoms like fevers, joint pain, and rashes, and can lead to serious complications like macrophage activation syndrome (MAS).
- The study looked at nine AOSD patients, four of whom got MAS, to understand how AOSD can lead to this more severe condition.
- It found that patients who developed MAS had certain risk factors and that a tool called the Hscore helps identify those who might get MAS quickly so they can get proper treatment.
