Background: Exposure of critically ill patients to antibiotics lead to intestinal dysbiosis, which often manifests as antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Faecal microbiota transplantation restores gut microbiota and may lead to faster resolution of diarrhoea.

Methods: Into this prospective, multi-centre, randomized controlled trial we will enrol 36 critically ill patients with antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.

Purpose: Preoperative albumin to alkaline phosphatase ratio (AAPR) and inflammatory burden index (IBI) are prognostic indicators for a multitude of cancers, and our study focuses on evaluating the prognostic significance of the AAPR and the IBI on rectal cancer (RC) patients to provide a more accurate guideline for patient prognosis.

Patients And Methods: This study enrolled patients who underwent laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery from January 2016 to January 2021. We utilized three machine learning approaches to select variables most relevant to prognosis in the training cohort.

This report presents an extremely rare case of fungal mycotic aneurysm due to Magnusiomyces capitatus in a 51-year-old immunocompromised woman. The diagnosis was based on multiple CT-scans and various samples positive for the pathogen identified by sequencing of the Internal Transcribed Spacer region. Long-term treatment using caspofungin for previous candidemia would have promoted the dissemination of this intrinsically echinocandin-resistant fungus, from colonization sites in the lung and rectal areas.
