AI Article Synopsis

  • * Fecal samples from 1241 patients with acute diarrhea were analyzed in 2020, leading to the detection of 24 cases of one pathogen and one case of another using PCR techniques.
  • * The findings indicate that these pathogens are not only found in animals but also in humans in the ROK, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring to track these agents in patients with acute diarrhea.

Article Abstract

and can cause diarrhea in humans, especially severe diarrhea in immunocompromised patients. However, there have been few studies on and in patients with acute diarrhea in the Republic of Korea (ROK). In this study, fecal samples were collected from 1241 patients with acute diarrhea in 2020. Among these, 24 cases of and one case of were detected via PCR amplification of small subunit ribosomal RNA. Genotyping of the internal transcribed spacer region sequence revealed that the detected genotype was in Group 1. This study provides the first evidence that exists in humans in addition to animals in the ROK. To identify the causative agent, continuous monitoring of and is necessary for patients with acute diarrhea in the ROK.

Background: Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome is a monogenic type 1 interferonopathy with infantile onset, characterized by a variable degree of neurological damage. Approximately 7% of Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome cases are caused by pathogenic variants in the ADAR gene and are classified as Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome type 6. Here, we present a new homozygous pathogenic variant in the ADAR gene.

Background: Intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism (PE) carries a significant risk of hemodynamic deterioration or death. Treatment should balance efficacy in reducing clot burden with the risk of complications, particularly bleeding. Previous studies on high-dose, short-term thrombolysis with alteplase (rtPA) showed a reduced risk of hemodynamic deterioration but no change in mortality and increased bleeding complications.

Growth-differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) is a cytokine involved in cellular stress responses and inflammation. This meta-analysis evaluates the association between circulating GDF-15 levels and functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). A comprehensive search of Medline, Web of Science, Embase, Wanfang, and CNKI was conducted up to July 15, 2024.

Objective: To investigate differences in arterial involvement patterns on F-FDG PET-CT between predominant cranial and isolated extracranial phenotypes of giant cell arteritis (GCA).

Methods: A retrospective review of F-FDG PET-CT findings was conducted on 140 patients with confirmed GCA. The patients were divided into two groups: the cranial group, which presented craniofacial ischemic symptoms either at diagnosis or during follow-up, and the isolated extracranial group which never exhibited such manifestations.

Background: Stress hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR) has been reported to be independently and significantly associated with various adverse cardiovascular events as well as mortality. Moreover, in-hospital heart failure following acute myocardial infarction has been demonstrated to account for majority of all heart failure (HF) cases with anterior myocardial infarction showing higher rates of HF. However, the association between SHR and in-hospital HF following an anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been reported earlier.
