Department of Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA; Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.
Background: With the increase in lithium-ion battery-powered technology, clinicians have observed an increase in burn injuries. Typically, these injuries come from malfunctions in e-cigarettes, e-scooters and bikes, and even mobile phones. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of a patient burned by the lithium-ion battery pack on an electric sock, which is commonly worn by skiers, snowboarders, and winter hikers.

infection constitutes a silent pandemic of global concern. In the last decades, the alarming increase in multidrug resistance evolved by this pathogen has led to a marked drop in the eradication rates of traditional therapies worldwide. By using a high-throughput screening strategy, in combination with in vitro DNA binding assays and antibacterial activity testing, we identified a battery of novel drug-like HsrA inhibitors with MIC values ranging from 0.

Correcting a gut sphincter malfunction is a difficult problem. Because each sphincter has two opposite functions, that of closure and opening, repairing one there is a risk of damaging the other. Indeed, widening a narrow sphincter, such as lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and anal sphincter, may cause gastroesophageal reflux and fecal incontinence, respectively, whereas narrowing a wide sphincter, may cause a difficult transit.

Article Synopsis
- Modern cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are designed to withstand external electric shocks, but the effects of lightning on these devices remain uncertain.
- A case involving a 74-year-old man with a pacemaker struck by lightning revealed significant battery and lead damage, leading to the need for device replacement.
- The differences in reactions to lightning between this patient and others may be influenced by factors like the type of pacemaker, the way the electric current spreads, and how the injury occurred.
