is an individual serotype of which can cause gastroenteritis in humans. In the case of a mild primary infection, bacteremia and phlegmon, as well as other types of extraintestinal Salmonella infection, may go undiagnosed. A 64-year-old female presents with a one-week history of fatigue, fever, and low back pain. She recently noticed a progressively growing mass in her lower back, along with swelling and redness of the surrounding skin. The patient is a nursing home resident who has been immobilized since a fall one month before the presentation. The bacterial culture of discharge from the infected area was found to be positive for , and the diagnosis of the torso phlegmon was made. The patient underwent surgical removal of the phlegmon and clinically improved after post-operative treatment. After evaluating geographic location, time of the year, and host factors such as relative immobility, extremes of age, and immunosuppressive conditions, should be considered in a differential diagnosis of torso phlegmon.

Aim: This randomized controlled study aimed to evaluate the effect of hand massage on pain, emotional symptoms, and physiological parameters in children after abdominal surgery.
Materials And Methods: The study included 40 children aged 7-12 years who underwent abdominal surgery (20 intervention, 20 control). Data were collected using the Faces Pain Scale-Revised, Children's Emotion Manifestation Scale, Physiological Measurements Chart, and Child Information Form.
Historically, screening for incidence of AD-related MCI or conversion from MCI to AD dementia has relied on cognitive, activities of daily living, and brain imaging measures. Limitations of this diagnostic approach include dependency on education and language, time-consuming and costly measures, and long-term monitoring. Emerging studies suggest that non-tremor motor dysfunction in dementias is known to be highly associated with AD biomarkers, with signs of cognitive decline visible in gait and hand movement at various stages of the illness.

Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent condition that significantly impacts the quality of life of both patients and their partners. Current therapeutic approaches often struggle to address the diverse needs of all patients. In addition, the efficacy of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) in improving ED symptoms has been insufficiently investigated.

Aim: In contrast to significant advances in organ preservation in locally advanced rectal cancer, the contemporary management of early-stage rectal cancer, including the frequency of abdominoperineal resections, remains largely unexplored in the United States. Therefore, we assessed the utilization of neoadjuvant therapy and oncological resections in early-stage rectal cancer patients.
Study Design: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with cT1-T3N0 rectal cancer who underwent proctectomies between 2016 and 2022 in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Project proctectomy files.
Contribution of paranasal sinus, chest, and abdomen/pelvis computed tomography in patients with febrile neutropenia.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Hôpital Saint-Louis, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, Paris, France and Université Paris Cité, Paris, France.
Objective: Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a serious clinical event, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Imaging has a central role in the identification of the fever cause. The study objectives were to assess abnormalities of potential infectious origin on paranasal sinus, chest and abdomen/pelvis CT scans performed during an episode of FN, in patients with or without specific clinical signs, and to evaluate their impact on the frequency of changes in treatment.
