Objective: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) shows varying levels of improvement after surgical treatment. While some patients improve soon after surgery, others may take months to years to show any signs of improvement. The goal of this study was to evaluate postoperative improvement, patient-reported outcomes, and patient satisfaction up to 2 years after surgical treatment for CSM, which will help optimize the current treatment strategies and effectively manage patient expectations.

Unlabelled: The tonsils have been identified as a site of replication for Epstein-Barr virus, adenovirus, human papillomavirus, and other respiratory viruses. Human tonsil epithelial cells (HTECs) are a heterogeneous group of actively differentiating cells. Here, we investigated the cellular features and susceptibility of differentiated HTECs to specific influenza viruses, including expression of avian-type and mammalian-type sialic acid (SA) receptors, viral replication dynamics, and the associated cytokine secretion profiles.

December 2024
Biomedical Sciences, Georgian American University (GAU), Tbilisi, GEO.
Background: Nosocomial pneumonia is a significant healthcare challenge, particularly in the face of rising antimicrobial resistance among Gram-negative bacteria. The production of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) exacerbates treatment complexities.
Aim: This study investigates the prevalence and resistance patterns of ESBL-producing and non-ESBL Gram-negative bacteria in nosocomial pneumonia cases in Georgian hospitals to inform antibiotic stewardship and treatment strategies.
Surgical Management of a Traumatic Mainstem Bronchus Avulsion.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2024
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Augusta University Medical Center, Augusta, Georgia.
Traumatic tracheobronchial tree injuries are rarely survivable. We present the case of a 31-year-old male patient who had a delayed discovery of a complete right mainstem bronchus avulsion following a motor vehicle collision. Despite initial respiratory stability, the patient rapidly deteriorated on hospital day 4.
