The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged clinicians to recognize COVID-19 as one of the diagnostic explanation for common presentations, including fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Latent tuberculosis is responsible for 80% of active tuberculosis cases in the United States, and presentation can vary from asymptomatic to disseminated disease. This potential diagnosis should be thoroughly investigated in foreign-born patients in US hospitals, regardless of travel history and presenting symptoms. We report a patient diagnosed with postpartum disseminated tuberculosis with hematogenous spread to the fetus.

Non-operative treatment in advanced atraumatic osteonecrosis of the humeral head in patients under 50 years old: an observational study.
Sci Rep
December 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Arthroscopy and Joint Research Institute, Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
The humeral head is the second most common anatomical site of osteonecrosis after the femoral head. Studies have reported satisfactory clinical outcomes after shoulder arthroplasty to treat osteonecrosis of the humeral head (ONHH). However, there are concerns regarding implant longevity in relatively young patients.

Peripheral neuropathy (PN), the most common complication of diabetes, leads to sensory loss and associated health issues as pain and increased fall risk. However, present treatments do not counteract sensory loss, but only partially manage its consequences. Electrical neural stimulation holds promise to restore sensations, but its efficacy and benefits in PN damaged nerves are yet unknown.

The lack of a robust system to reproducibly propagate HRV-C, a family of viruses refractory to cultivation in standard cell lines, has substantially hindered our understanding of this common respiratory pathogen. We sought to develop an organoid-based system to reproducibly propagate HRV-C, and characterize virus-host interaction using respiratory organoids. We demonstrate that airway organoids sustain serial virus passage with the aid of CYT387-mediated immunosuppression, whereas nasal organoids that more closely simulate the upper airway achieve this without any intervention.

Haemophilia

Advanced Center for Oncology, Hematology and Rare Disorders (ACOHRD), K.J. Somaiya Super Speciality Hospital & Research Center, Somaiya Ayurvihar, Sion East, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Introduction: Mortality and morbidity in persons with haemophilia (PWH) have decreased due to improved diagnosis and treatment along with comprehensive population outreach efforts, but the impact is not uniform in different countries.
Aim: The study aims to assess all-cause and intracranial haemorrhage (ICH)-specific mortality of PWH in India.
Methods: This is a retrospective, observational, multi-centric cohort study of 1020 haemophilia patients from three centres in India.
minimally invasive surgery is the surgery of the present and has become the "gold standard" for the most pathologies. The training of surgeons in minimally invasive techniques is mandatory required to be carried out during the residency program. In Romania, there is no national minimally invasive surgical training program, only universities and certain university hospitals are concerned with this aspect.
