Influenza virus infection is a rare cause of neurological complications, with acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) being among the deadliest. Due to the low incidence of ANE, literature about its association with influenza B infection is limited. We present the case of a 29-year-old previously healthy man with an imaging and clinical diagnosis of influenza B virus infection and sudden decline in mental status. Magnetic resonance imaging showed multifocal areas of abnormal T2 FLAIR signal and restricted diffusion without significant enhancement, with negative mircobiological studies of cerebrospinal fluid. The patient died despite multiple treatments including an antiviral, steroids, and intravenous immunoglobulin. Due to ANE's more common presentation during childhood, this case report represents one of the few available publications in the adult population.

This report documents complications in false pilchard Harengula clupeola and scad Decapterus macarellus associated with a salinomycin (60 mg kg-1) and amprolium (100 mg kg-1) gel feed treatment, along with prolonged temperature increase, for an Enteromyxum leei outbreak in a salt water, mixed species, public aquarium exhibit. Shortly after administration, a mass mortality event ensued where hundreds of false pilchards and a few scad died. Medicated gel feed was noted within the gastrointestinal tracts of all affected fish.

Background: Although kidney biopsy is definitive for the diagnosis of acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) and acute tubular necrosis (ATN), its invasiveness limits its use. We aimed to identify urine biomarkers for differentiating AIN and ATN and to predict the response of patients with AIN to steroid treatment.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, biopsy-proven ATN ( = 34) and AIN ( = 55) were included.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Risk factors of mortality in patients with AMI have been widely investigated, identifying older age and heart failure as common contributors. This study aimed to determine risk factors and explore predictors associated with higher mortality among patients with AMI.

Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe and rapidly progressing soft tissue infection that requires immediate intervention. However, its manifestation as tarsal tunnel syndrome in a diabetic patient is an extremely rare occurrence, with no previous reports found in the existing literature. We present a case report of a patient in their late 50s with uncontrolled diabetes who had necrotizing fasciitis and presented initially to the emergency department with hypotension.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), as a critical life support technology, has played a significant role in treating patients with refractory respiratory and circulatory failure. In recent years, with the advancements in medical technology, the scope of application of ECMO has been expanding, especially in the fields of acute respiratory distress syndrome, cardiogenic shock and other important roles. However, its high costs, complex operation, and associated risks of complications remain challenges in clinical practice.
