Trichosporon species are opportunistic yeasts which can cause infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. This is a report of Trichosporon ovoides that caused subcutaneous infection in a patient with underlying ischemic heart disease. The identification of fungal isolate was confirmed by PCR sequencing of ITS and large subunit regions in rRNA gene. In vitro susceptibility study showed that the isolate was susceptible to amphotericin B, fluconazole and voriconazole, and resistant to caspofungin, anidulafungin and itraconazole. The lesion improved after treatment with oral fluconazole and topical miconazole.

The necessity of routinely placing closed suction wound drainage in spinal surgery has been questioned. This study aims to assess if closed suction wound drainage is necessary for posterior atlantoaxial fixation via intermuscular approach. The functional outcomes of these 40 patients who underwent posterior atlantoaxial fixation via intermuscular approach without drainage tube (Group A) were compared with that of a control group, which consisted of 68 randomly enrolled cases with posterior atlantoaxial fixation via intermuscular approach with drainage tube (Group B).

A 61-year-old woman underwent an emergent operation with sigmoid colon cancer resection, colostomy, and ileostomy on colon perforation. The low ileostoma, caused by intra-abdominal bad conditions, had irritated the surrounding skin after surgery, intermittently forcing the patient to fast for a certain period. Six months after the operation, under the judgment that re-ileostomy, essential for hospital discharge, seemed very difficult through another laparotomy, we attempted to make the ileostoma higher not with pulling the ileum from the abdomen but with lowering the surrounding skin using skin flap formation techniques.

The purpose of the study was to prepare a safe vaccine that provides broad protection against the peritonitis syndrome. Two formaldehyde inactivated water-in-oil emulsion vaccines were made: one vaccine containing genotypes A (O1:H7), B (O78:H4), C (O2:H1) and D (O11:H12) (vaccine A-D), the other one only genotype A (vaccine A). genotypes originated from hens with EPS.

The characteristic symptoms of the disease are an area of skin that is swollen, warmth, redness, pain, unknown borderline, tends to expand, and can lead to tissue necrosis. Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) is a non-drug treatment, which has the effect of relieving pain, reducing edema, and accelerating the wound healing process for patients with cellulitis.

Article Synopsis
- Digital papillary adenocarcinoma (DPA) is a rare and often misdiagnosed malignant tumor, commonly mistaken for benign conditions, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
- A 57-year-old man with recurrent finger infections was ultimately diagnosed with DPA after a surgical evaluation and biopsy revealed both infection and the tumor, necessitating surgical removal.
- Accurate diagnosis is vital due to the tumor's tendency for recurrence and metastasis, particularly to the lungs and lymph nodes, and current treatment primarily involves surgical excision with focus on achieving negative margins.
