Department of Palliative Care, University Hospital Basel, Petersgraben 4, 4031 Basel, Switzerland.
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a common complication in patients who inject drugs. We present the case of a 36-year-old woman with IE affecting both the aortic and tricuspid valves, along with a cardiac implantable electronic device infection, 11 weeks after combined aortic valve replacement, tricuspid valve replacement, and pacemaker implantation. The patient declined the medically indicated cardiac surgery due to her recent taxing surgical and rehabilitation experiences.

It is the most common complication of left heart valve disease. Ring annuloplasty and suture (De Vega) annuloplasty represent two common surgical treatment techniques.

Department of Respiratory Medicine, Nagasaki University Hospital, Nagasaki, JPN.
Background And Objective: For treating community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in adults, early switching from injectable to oral antimicrobials (switch therapy) is accepted once the clinical course is favorable. Lascufloxacin (LSFX) is a quinolone antibacterial agent, available in intravenous and oral formulations, demonstrating antibacterial activity against a relatively broad spectrum of community-onset pneumonia (COP). No switch therapy using the same drug from injectable to oral antimicrobials has been reported; therefore, we conducted the study to confirm the efficacy and safety of the switch therapy using LSFX.

Emergency Medicine, Nizwa Hospital, Nizwa, OMN.
Objective: This study aimed to observe changes in serum glucose levels following the administration of 50 mL of 50% dextrose solution (D50) in hypoglycemic patients. Specifically, we seek to determine the prevalence of rebound hyperglycemia episodes, the peak effect, and the duration of action of a single dose of 50 mL D50.
Method: This prospective observational study was conducted at four emergency departments (two tertiary care hospitals and two secondary care hospitals) in Oman over a three-year period, from May 1, 2019, to April 30, 2022.
Comparison of the Effect of High-Intensity Laser Therapy and Quadriceps Muscle Strengthening Exercises Using Biofeedback on Pain, Stiffness and Function of Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Student Research Committee, Birjand University of Medical Sciences, Birjand, Iran.
Objectives: This study aims to compare the effects of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and quadriceps muscle strengthening exercises using biofeedback on pain and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
Methods: This randomized, two-group clinical trial included patients with KOA (grades II - III of the Lawrence Kellgren classification) who met the inclusion criteria. Written informed consent was obtained from participants before they were randomly allocated into one of two groups: HILT + therapeutic exercise (group A) or quadriceps muscle strengthening exercises using biofeedback + therapeutic exercise (group B).
