Syphilis and other bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are on the verge of resurge throughout the world. Coinfection of syphilis and HIV is quite common as they both share a common mode of transmission. The behavior of syphilis is quite altered in the presence of HIV. Relapse of secondary syphilis after the recommended treatment is quite unusual. One such case has been reported, and possible pathogenesis was discussed.

A 42-year-old man experienced recurrent coronary artery spasm (CAS) secondary to eosinophilic asthma despite being on multiple medications. He underwent a successful unilateral stellate ganglion block followed by bilateral thoracoscopic sympathectomy, with no subsequent recurrence of CAS. These invasive therapies offer a potential treatment option for refractory CAS.

Objective: To assess pathological characteristics, clinical features and outcomes of patients diagnosed with peripheral zone (PZ) and transition zone (TZ) prostate cancer after prostatectomy.
Methods And Analysis: We systematically reviewed PubMed, EMBASE and MEDLINE. Primary endpoints were biochemical relapse-free survival (bRFS) and distant metastases rate; secondary endpoints included clinical and pathological features.

Inflammation of the pituitary gland can be primary (without another underlying cause) or secondary (associated with a systemic inflammatory condition). Primary hypophysitis is very rare, among which xanthomatous hypophysitis as a histological type is extremely unusual. A woman in her late 50s presented with recurrent pituitary lesions over 20 years.

We postulated that enhancing the index ablation line through use of multiple cryoballoon diameters would be superior to standard ablation with bonus freeze.
Methods: We enrolled 226 consecutive patients referred for cryoballoon-based PV isolation (PVI).
