Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is a rare, life-threatening urinary tract infection (UTI) characterized by gas formation within the bladder wall and lumen. It predominantly occurs in patients with poorly controlled diabetes. We present a case of a 61-year-old male with poorly controlled diabetes and chronic alcoholism who was admitted in a comatose state due to severe septic shock secondary to EC.

Purpose: Ultracongruent (UC) inserts were designed to overcome potential issues with posterior stabilized (PS) inserts, including bone resection, post-breakage, and patellar clunk syndrome. However, there remains a shortage of high-quality studies directly comparing this insert design to the established PS Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). This prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to compare clinical outcomes, range of motion, and complications of UC and PS TKA.

Background And Objectives: Newborns, particularly premature ones, are vulnerable to bacterial infections and often receive antibiotics, disrupting their normal intestinal microbiota. Probiotics have multiple health benefits and are recommended for restoring balance, but caution is needed due to potential consequences, such as promoting antibiotic resistance. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a systematic review to assess current knowledge regarding the impact of probiotics on antibiotic resistance in newborns.

Fibro-adipose vascular anomaly (FAVA) presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its rarity and overlapping features with other vascular malformations. Predominantly affecting the lower extremities, it manifests with pain and contracture, and surgical resection may be necessary in symptomatic cases. We present a case of a 36-year-old patient with FAVA in the right lower extremity, experiencing persistent symptoms since adolescence.

Fabry disease is a progressive, X-linked lysosomal disorder caused by reduced or absent α-galactosidase A activity due to GLA variants. The effects of migalastat were examined in a cohort of 125 Fabry patients with migalastat-amenable GLA variants in the followME Pathfinders registry (EUPAS20599), an ongoing, prospective, patient-focused registry evaluating outcomes for current Fabry disease treatments. We report annualised estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and Fabry-associated clinical events (FACEs) in a cohort of patients who had received ≥3 years of migalastat treatment in a real-world setting.

The term "ventricular storm (VS)" is defined as the occurrence of two or more separate episodes of ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (VT/VF) or three or more appropriate discharges of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator for VT/VF during a 24-h period. A patient in his early 40s was observed in the emergency department of our hospital and was admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit due to multiple episodes of VT. This led to the need for deep sedation with orotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation.

Fabry Disease (FD) is one of the most prevalent lysosomal storage disorders, resulting from mutations in the gene located on the X chromosome. This genetic mutation triggers glo-botriaosylceramide (Gb-3) buildup within lysosomes, ultimately impairing cellular functions. Given the role of lysosomes in immune cell physiology, FD has been suggested to have a profound impact on immunological responses.

Fahr syndrome is a rare neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by calcium deposition in the brain. It is usually associated with phosphocalcium metabolism disorders, like hypoparathyroidism, or with genetical predisposition, as seen in Fahr disease. Given the wide array of differential diagnoses medical awareness should be emphasized to prompt diagnosis and management.
