Background: Pleural effusion, the presence of fluid within the pleural space, is a common condition secondary to a wide range of pathological causes. Splenic abscess, which is rare, has previously been described as a cause of exudative pleural effusion. Splenic abscess is thought to be associated with bacteremia, iatrogenic inoculation, or hematogenous spread from another bacterial focus.

This article explores the potential iatrogenic impact of institutional care on patients suffering from anorexia nervosa, based on a perspective drawn from the human and social sciences. In particular, it highlights the social mechanisms - such as the collision of intentions, pathological emulation, stigmatization and identity dedifferentiation - that can aggravate pathology in the hospital setting. Four recommendations are put forward for rethinking care, favoring a more holistic and less iatrogenic approach.

Purpose: Osteoradionecrosis of the jaw (ORNJ) is a severe iatrogenic disease characterized by bone death after radiation therapy (RT) to the head and neck. With over 9 published definitions and at least 16 classification systems, the true incidence and severity of ORNJ are obscured by lack of a standard for disease definition and severity assessment, leading to inaccurate estimation of incidence, reporting ambiguity, and likely under-diagnosis worldwide. This study aimed to achieve consensus on an explicit definition and phenotype of ORNJ and related precursor states through data standardization to facilitate effective diagnosis, monitoring, and multidisciplinary management of ORNJ.

Typical epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by an unusual susceptibility to infection with specific skin-trophic types of human papillomavirus, principally betapapillomaviruses, and a propensity for developing malignant skin tumors in sun exposed regions. Its etiology reflects biallelic loss-of-function mutations in TMC6 (EVER1), TMC8 (EVER2) or CIB1. A TMC6-TMC8-CIB1 protein complex in the endoplasmic reticulum is hypothesized to be a restriction factor in keratinocytes for βHPV infection.

Background And Objectives: Accurate classification of lymphadenopathy is essential for determining the pathological nature of lymph nodes (LNs), which plays a crucial role in treatment selection. The biopsy method is invasive and carries the risk of sampling failure, while the utilization of non-invasive approaches such as ultrasound can minimize the probability of iatrogenic injury and infection. With the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the diagnostic efficiency of LNs is further enhanced.
