Chromobacterium violaceum infections in children: two case reports and literature review.

Purpose: Chromobacterium violaceum(C. violaceum) is a gram-negative bacterium that rarely infects humans, especially children. However, the mortality rate is high and there are no clear guidelines for treatment.

An Infant With Kawasaki Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed countries. Delayed treatment can lead to coronary artery (CA) abnormalities, potentially causing myocardial ischemia, infarction, and death. Younger age is a risk factor for developing bilateral large CA aneurysms in KD patients.

Purulent lymphadenitis caused by ST59 community-associated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in an infant.

Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA), which has the potential to produce serious infections, was a common cause of skin and soft tissue infections, acute purulent lymphadenitis was rare.

Case Report: The patient was a female infant with lumps, tenderness, and fever on the right side of the neck and groin. Laboratory tests suggested a bacterial infection.

Community-Acquired Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia Infection in a Child: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) is a pathogen causing opportunistic and nosocomial infections that are invasive and fatal, especially in hospitalized and immunocompromised patients. However, community-acquired S.

A case report of atypical Kawasaki disease presented with severe elevated transaminases and literature review.

Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is the most common cause of acquired heart disease among children in developed countries, in which the resulting coronary artery (CA) abnormalities cause myocardial ischemia, infarction, and death. Prompt diagnosis was essential, and supplemental information should be used to assist the diagnosis when classical clinical criteria are incomplete. The elevated levels of serum transaminases in most KD patients are mild.

Associations between obesity and metabolic health with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in elderly Chinese.

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely associated with obesity. However, this association could be influenced by the coexisting metabolic abnormalities. This study aimed to investigate the role of obesity and metabolic abnormalities in NAFLD among elderly Chinese.

Anthracycline versus nonanthracycline adjuvant therapy for early breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: The clinical benefits provided by using anthracycline-contained regimens in patients with early breast cancer (EBC) remain uncertain. This meta-analysis used data from all relevant trials to compare treatment outcomes for patients with EBC receiving adjuvant chemotherapy with non-anthracycline-contained regimens or anthracycline-contained regimens.

Patients And Methods: Individual patient data were collected on 7 randomized trials comparing non-anthracycline-contained regimens with anthracycline-contained regimens, a total of 14,451 women were analyzed.

[The current status and applications of implantable bone-conduction devices].

Implantable bone-conduction devices are characterized by the fact that the vibration is transmitted through bone conduction. The technology and surgical techniques in the application of implantable bone-conduction devices have developed considerably in recent years, experiencing a transformation from percutaneous to transcutaneous implantation. This article reviewed current developments in the types, surgical indications, and complications, as well as compared between the various bone-conduction devices to provid references for clinical application.
