AI Article Synopsis

  • The study analyzes 10 adolescent cases of non-puerperal mastitis (NPM) from Shuguang Hospital, looking into their risk factors, clinical characteristics, and outcomes post-surgery.
  • Symptoms included breast redness, swelling, pain, and congenital nipple retraction, with elevated inflammatory markers and prolactin levels observed in the patients.
  • Key findings reveal that surgical treatment led to quick recovery without recurrence, and risk factors identified include congenital nipple retraction, high prolactin levels, and trauma, providing insights for future research on this condition.

Article Abstract

Purpose: To determine the risk factors, clinical characteristics, and prognosis of adolescent non-puerperal mastitis patients.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 10 cases of NPM in adolescents who underwent surgical treatment at Shuguang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2021 to August 2023. We analyze the patient's general information, clinical characteristics, related medical history, laboratory indicators, breast magnetic resonance imaging examination, postoperative pathology, prognosis, etc.

Results: The clinical manifestations of NPM in adolescents mainly included redness, swelling and pain in the breasts, congenital nipple retraction, and extensive lesion range. Inflammatory markers and prolactin were elevated. Magnetic resonance imaging showed circular enhancement with abscess formation as the main type. All patients underwent surgical treatment with a fast recovery time after surgery. No recurrence was observed during follow-up and the postoperative breast appearance was satisfactory. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that congenital nipple retraction, elevated prolactin levels and trauma were independent risk factors for adolescents non-puerperal mastitis.

Conclusion: Adolescent non-puerperal mastitis is a rare and unique type. Summarizing its main risk factors, clinical characteristics, and prognosis provides a basis for further research.

Introduction: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is increasingly used for obesity and metabolic disease, with safety profiles showing it is among the safest major operations. The last 20 + years have noted significantly improved safety that has been accompanied by decreasing length of stay and select populations electing for outpatient surgery, leading to continued decreases in cost. Regardless, readmissions and complications still occur, requiring inpatient postoperative care (IP-POC).

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has proven to be a powerful tool in preventing HIV infection. There is limited information about the factors associated with willingness to use different PrEP modalities among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in Africa. We assessed willingness to use long-acting injectable PrEP (LAI-PrEP) among 14-24-year-old AGYW at high risk of HIV in Uganda, and associated factors determined using multivariable complementary log-log regression.

This study aimed to explore the awareness, willingness, and engagement with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among high-risk Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM) and to investigate the factors influencing its use. A cross-sectional survey of 1800 HIV-negative MSM was conducted in Chengdu, Suzhou, and Wuhan between June 2022 and February 2023 through in-person and online recruitment methods. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of PrEP use.

Pathogenesis of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 co-infection at the extremes of age: decipher the ominous tales of immune vulnerability.

The co-circulation of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 has led to co-infection events, primarily affecting children and older adults, who are at higher risk for severe disease. Although co-infection prevalence is relatively low, it is associated with worse outcomes compared to mono-infections. Previous studies have shown that the outcomes of co-infection depend on multiple factors, including viral interference, virus-host interaction and host response.
