Expert reports analyze medical malpractice in urology based on selected case studies and assess their medical and legal implications. Common sources of error include noncompliance with clinical guidelines, inadequate patient information, insufficient diagnostics, and a lack of interdisciplinary coordination. The cases include, among others, incorrect biopsy techniques, delayed stroke diagnoses, failure to communicate pathological findings, and problematic coercive measures in pediatric patients. The legal assessments highlight the importance of thorough documentation and effective patient communication in mitigating liability risks. In several cases, diagnostic errors result in a reversal of the burden of proof in favor of the patient. The expert report emphasizes the necessity of a structured, evidence-based, and interdisciplinary approach to minimize treatment errors and their consequences.

is a long-established, well known and globally important genus of plant pathogens. Phylogenetic evidence has shown that the biologically distinct, obligate biotrophic downy mildews evolved from at least twice. Since, cladistically, this renders 'paraphyletic', it has been proposed that evolutionary clades be split into multiple genera (Runge et al.

is a gram-negative, obligate intracellular pathogen that causes human Q fever. Within host cells, proliferates in a spacious, acidic, lysosome-derived -containing vacuole (CCV) by a process that requires the Dot/Icm type IVB secretion system to deliver effectors that manipulate host cell functions. A previous transposon mutagenesis screen identified the gene as being important for intracellular replication of .

is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen that if left untreated can cause reproductive harm. Failure of natural adaptive immunity results in chronic and repeat infections. In efforts to understand the failure of adaptive immunity, we have previously discovered that CD8 T cells, normally integral for controlling intracellular pathogen infections, are misprogrammed by PD-1/PD-L1 signaling during infection and fail to mount a protective response.

Objective: The rural-oriented tuition-waived medical education program in China, started in 2010, provides free medical education to students committed to serving in rural areas to address medical staff shortages. Despite its success in training and deploying graduates, retaining them post-obligation remains challenging. This study explores the mechanisms behind the turnover intentions of rural-oriented medical students in Western China, offering insights for their retention.

is an obligate human pathogen and the etiological agent of the sexually transmitted infection, gonorrhoea. The rapid emergence of extensively antimicrobial-resistant strains, including those resistant to all frontline antibiotics, has led to being labelled a priority pathogen by the World Health Organization, highlighting the need for new antimicrobial treatments. Given its absence in humans, targeting cysteine biosynthesis has been identified as a promising avenue for developing new antimicrobials against bacterial pathogens.
