Dog bite is a common skin injury, which mainly causes structural damage, infection, and psychological trauma. Among these complications, infection by oral flora from animals has a major effect on later treatment. Each animal has a relatively unique oral microbial flora, which has a potential risk of infection and affects the formulation of treatment plans. Although lymph node necrosis is a common disease in the medical field, distant metastatic abscess and lymph node necrosis caused by dog bite are still worthy of early clinical suspicion after a patient presents with a dog bite disease. A high index of suspicion is greatly significant in shortening the patient's hospital stay, promoting wound healing, and reducing psychological trauma of patients.

Introduction: Capnocytophaga is a genus of bacteria that are commensal to the oral microbiome of humans and some animals. Some Capnocytophaga species are found in the human oral cavity and rarely cause disease in people; the species found in animals are zoönotic and can be transmitted to people via saliva. This study describes the clinical and epidemiologic features of patients from whom Capnocytophaga spp.

Dog and cat bites are the most common types of animal injuries, which cause various types of tissue damage and have a high incidence of wound infections. These infections are often mixed with multiple microorganisms and have their characteristics and complexity. Selecting appropriate antimicrobial drugs for prevention and treatment can help prevent the occurrence of infections and improve the effectiveness of infection treatment.

Objectives: To describe the epidemiology of dog-related injuries leading to hospital admission in Scotland and to estimate the direct health care costs.
Study Design: A retrospective, longitudinal analysis of Scottish hospital admissions coded under the W54 ICD-10 code 'bitten or struck by dog', 1997-2022.
Methods: Hospital admissions episodes coded under W54 were extracted from the SMR1/01 dataset.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), which occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, typically occur in the stomach and small intestine but rarely in the duodenum. We present a case report wherein a descending duodenal GIST was treated with a limited, minimally invasive surgery after endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) insertion.
Presentation Of Case: A 67-year-old woman visited our hospital with an incidentally discovered duodenal tumor.
Eliminating invisible deaths: the woeful state of global rabies data and its impact on progress towards 2030 sustainable development goals for neglected tropical diseases.

Like other neglected diseases, surveillance data for rabies is insufficient and incompatible with the need to accurately describe the burden of disease. Multiple modeling studies central to estimating global human rabies deaths have been conducted in the last two decades, with results ranging from 14,000 to 74,000 deaths annually. Yet, uncertainty in model parameters, inconsistency in modeling approaches, and discrepancies in data quality per country included in global burden studies have led to recent skepticism about the magnitude of rabies mortality.
