empyema is rare and easy to be misdiagnosed. An 81-year-old male patient showed symptoms with cough, sputum, and fever for 3 days. Community-acquired pneumonia was diagnosed firstly. After anti-infection treatment, the patient was still in fever. Chest radiography showed pleural effusion, closed thoracic drainage was performed and the reddish-brown fluid was drained out. The second-generation sequencing was performed on pleural fluid and was detected. has strict requirements for growth conditions and it difficult to cultivate. The application of second-generation sequencing is helpful to diagnose the pathogen rapidly.

Introduction: The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue semaglutide is approved as an oral formulation for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to confirm bioequivalence between a new, second-generation (2G) oral semaglutide formulation (1.5, 4 and 9 mg) and the initially approved first-generation (1G) formulation (3, 7 and 14 mg).

Purpose: Capnocytophaga spp., common inhabitants of the animal oral cavity, are zoonotic pathogens transmitted to humans through dog/cat bites and cat scratches. Appropriate antimicrobial therapy is essential for treatment this zoonotic disease because of the rapid deterioration of systemic symptoms at disease onset; however, antimicrobial resistance of animal bite-associated Capnocytophaga spp.

Rationale: The high clinical heterogeneity of hypermethioninemia caused by MAT1A gene defects has resulted in a paucity of studies examining the association between clinical phenotypes, biochemical characteristics, and gene mutations in this patient group. Furthermore, the indications for therapeutic interventions in patients remain unclear. The objective of this study is to provide a foundation for clinical diagnosis, genetic counseling, and follow-up management of hypermethioninemia caused by MAT1A gene defects.
