[Urinary tract infection due to Streptococcus pneumoniae and its relationship with nephrourological malformations].
Andes Pediatr
August 2024
Unidad de Nefrología, Hospital General de Niños Pedro de Elizalde, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Article Synopsis
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children are primarily caused by enterobacteria, but Streptococcus pneumoniae is a rare cause that can indicate underlying issues.
- A case study focused on a 2-year-old girl with recurrent UTIs, renal malformations, and a detected UTI caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae demonstrated the importance of thorough imaging studies for such cases.
- The findings highlight that UTIs from this atypical bacterium often correlate with serious renal-urological conditions, emphasizing the necessity for additional urinary tract evaluations in affected patients.
Predicting lack of clinical improvement following varicose vein ablation using machine learning.

Electronic address:
Objective: Varicose vein ablation is generally indicated in patients with active/healed venous ulcers. However, patient selection for intervention in individuals without venous ulcers is less clear. Tools that predict lack of clinical improvement (LCI) following vein ablation may help guide clinical decision-making but remain limited.

Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, National Health Insurance Service Ilsan Hospital, Goyang-si, Korea.
Objectives: To analyze the distribution of incompetent segments in the great saphenous vein (GSV) in Clinical, Etiological, Anatomical, Pathophysiological (CEAP) classification C2 limbs to provide a reference for appropriate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Methods: We analyzed the distributions of incompetent segments in the GSVs of the C2 lower extremity undergoing duplex ultrasound from September 2017 to December 2023. The examined segments were the saphenofemoral junction (SFJ), GSV at the proximal thigh, GSV at the knee, and GSV below the knee.
Detection of transcriptionally active high-risk human papillomavirus in patients with oesophageal carcinoma by real-time PCR.
J Cancer Res Ther
July 2024
Department of Biochemistry, JSS Medical College, JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research, Mysuru, Karnataka, India.
Background: Oesophageal malignancies (OC) are the sixth most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Traditional risk factors for OC include smoking, alcohol consumption, and poorly controlled acid reflux; however, the trends in the last decade have pointed out the potential carcinogenic roles of infectious agents, especially Human Papillomavirus (HPV), in the development of OC. The prevalence of HPV infection in OC varies greatly worldwide, mainly due to the inconsistencies of the detection assays employed.

Article Synopsis
- * The CEAP classification system helps to categorize the clinical signs and symptoms of varicose disease, which can vary widely among patients, and may include feelings of leg heaviness or even be asymptomatic.
- * Duplex ultrasound (DU) is a crucial diagnostic tool that confirms venous reflux, assesses the extent of the condition, and helps map the veins for appropriate treatment, emphasizing the need for specialized medical consultation for tailored therapy.
