Fatal Mucormycosis in a Diabetic Patient: A Case Report and Review of Diagnostic Challenges.

Mucormycosis (zygomycosis) is a severe and often fatal mycotic infection affecting primarily immunocompromised individuals. A 61-year-old female with type 2 diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease developed septic shock in association with mucormycosis. Despite antifungal treatment with liposomal amphotericin B, the patient's condition rapidly deteriorated, leading to death within 48 hours.

Perforated Jejunal Diverticulum Mimicking Diverticulitis: A Case Report of Acute Abdominal Pain in an Elderly Patient.

Jejunal diverticulosis is a rare form of diverticulosis characterized by acquired pseudodiverticula in the small bowel. Although most cases are asymptomatic, the condition can present diagnostic challenges due to its atypical presentation. Complications such as perforation can lead to acute abdomen, significantly increasing morbidity and mortality.

Corrigendum: Barriers and facilitators to implementing a new regulation restricting antimicrobial use in dairy production in Québec, Canada: a qualitative study.

Not ready in the ways that count- a qualitative exploration of junior doctor's perceived preparedness for practice using Legitimation Code Theory.

Despite demonstrating the required competencies to graduate, many newly qualified doctors find the transition to internship difficult. There is a concern over whether their preparation is aligned with the expectations of the role. This study aimed to gain a better understanding of the competencies needed for legitimate practice as junior doctors and explores their perceived preparedness for practice.

Shared Pathophysiology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Psoriasis: Unraveling the Connection.

Psoriasis (PS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are immune-mediated chronic conditions that share pathophysiological processes, including immune system dysfunction, microbiome dysbiosis, and inflammatory pathways. These pathways result in increased turnover of epithelial cells and compromised barrier function. The assessment of the literature suggests that immunopathogenic mechanisms, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α signaling and IL-23/IL-17 axis dysregulation, are shared by PS and IBD.

Psychiatric, Neurological, and Somatic Comorbidities in Intermittent Explosive Disorder: a retrospective cohort study of electronic health records.

Importance: Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) is an understudied psychiatric condition that presents with repeated episodes of impulsive aggression and poorly regulated emotional control, often resulting in interpersonal and societal consequences. Better understanding of comorbidities will allow for enhanced screening, diagnosis, and treatment of patients.

Objective: To investigate prevalence and associations of IED with psychiatric, neurological, and somatic disorders using real-world data.

Navigating the Interplay of Sickle Cell Vasculopathy and Moyamoya Cerebrovascular Changes: A Case Report.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary hemoglobinopathy that can lead to progressive vasculopathy, increasing the risk of cerebrovascular complications. Moyamoya syndrome (MMS), a rare disorder characterized by stenosis of the internal carotid arteries, can occur in SCD patients due to chronic endothelial damage and inflammation. The coexistence of these conditions can result in severe cerebrovascular complications, presenting unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Detection and Molecular Characterization of Porcine Teschoviruses in India: Identification of New Genotypes.

Porcine Teschoviruses (PTVs) are ubiquitous enteric viral pathogens that infect pigs and wild boars worldwide. PTVs have been responsible for causing the severe clinical disease (Teschen disease) to asymptomatic infections. However, to date, limited information is available on large-scale epidemiological data and molecular characterization of PTVs in several countries.

Can criticism lead to constructive dialogue? Reaffirming a novel study.

This letter takes a unique approach to the complex relationship between criticism and constructive dialogue, specifically in response to issues raised by a recent original article publication. While criticism is often viewed negatively, this article uncovers its potential to stimulate meaningful and productive discussions, particularly in novel studies. By examining certain misinterpretations, the article aims to demonstrate how criticism, when approached with openness and respect, can deepen the understanding and appreciation of original works, and inspire future research on lecture playback speeds.

Larger recipient vein caliber during lymphatic microsurgical preventive healing approach (LYMPHA) is associated with lower lymphedema rates.

Background: The lymphatic microsurgical preventive healing approach reduces the risk of lymphedema after axillary lymph node dissection. We identified surgical factors of Lymphatic Microsurgical Preventive Healing Approach (LYMPHA) that influence lymphedema rates focusing on the vein caliber used.

Methods: A single-institution retrospective cohort study included breast cancer patients undergoing axillary lymph node dissection and LYMPHA (April 2021-November 2022) with a follow-up of at least 1 year.

The Role of Minimally Invasive Surgery in the Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Current Trends and Future Directions.

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) provides superior results in the surgical treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There exist various minimally invasive procedures, each possessing its own set of benefits and drawbacks. This literature review outlines these methodologies and underscores their importance in enhancing the outcomes of patients with IBD.

Ibrutinib-induced spinal haematoma in a patient with marginal zone lymphoma.

Bleeding diathesis is an uncommon side effect of ibrutinib use and is seen in less than 5% of the population. We describe a case of an elderly woman with ibrutinib-induced spontaneous major extradural haematoma presenting as acute compressive myelopathy. She is a known case of splenic marginal zone lymphoma with multiple extramedullary relapses and presented to the emergency department with acute-onset low backache, followed by urinary retention.
