METHODS: The Executive Committee of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) commissioned and supervised the project. A panel of 18 international experts and a methodologist identified main domains and items from a systematic literature, plus 2 ancillary domains...

Granulomatous mastitis (GM) in accessory breast tissue is rare. The present study aimed to report a rare case of GM in accessory breast tissue. A 39-year-old female patient presented with right axillary discomfort and swelling for ~5 days. On clinical examination, a tender, firm lump was detected in the right axillary region. The ultrasound showed diffuse parenchymal heterogeneity and surrounding edema in the right accessory breast associated with reactive axillary lymph nodes. Following unresponsiveness to conservative treatment, a surgical procedure was performed in the form of an excisional biopsy and the lesion was diagnosed as GM...

BACKGROUND: Cerebral cavernous malformations are complex vascular anomalies in the central nervous system associated with a risk of intracranial hemorrhage. Traditional guidelines have been cautious about the use of antithrombotic therapy in this patient group, citing concerns about potential bleeding risk. However, recent research posits that antithrombotic therapy may actually be beneficial. This study aims to clarify the association between antithrombotic therapy, including antiplatelet and anticoagulant medications, and the risk of intracranial hemorrhage in patients with cerebral cavernous malformations...

PURPOSE: Accurately predicting new baseline-glomerular-filtration rate (NBGFR) after radical nephrectomy (RN) can improve counseling about RN vs partial nephrectomy. Split-renal-function (SRF)-based models are optimal, and differential parenchymal volume analysis (PVA) is more accurate than nuclear renal scans (NRS) for this purpose. However, there is minimal data regarding the limitations of PVA. Our objective was to identify patient/tumor-related factors associated with PVA inaccuracy...

Introduction: Transplantation is a field with unique medical and administrative challenges that involve an equally diverse array of stakeholders. Expectantly, the litigation stemming from this field should be similarly nuanced. There is a paucity of comprehensive reviews characterizing this medicolegal landscape. Design: The Caselaw Access Project Database was used to collect official court briefs of 2053 lawsuits related to kidney, liver, heart, lung, and pancreas transplantation. A thematic analysis was undertaken to characterize grounds for litigation, defendant type, and outcomes...

Syndecan-1 (Sdc-1), a transmembrane heparan sulfate protein, is implicated in several pathophysiological processes including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The exact role of Syndican-1 in this autoimmune disease is still undetermined. This study explores the involvement level of Sdc-1 in the development of RA in a collagen II-induced arthritis mice model. RA was induced in two mice strains (wild-type BALB/c group and Sdc-1 knockout) by collagen II. Mice underwent regular clinical observations and scoring. After sacrifice, leg biopsies were taken from mice for histological examination, using a variety of stains...

Despite decreases in mortality rate, the treatment of cognitive deficits following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) remains a serious challenge for clinicians and survivors alike. Deficits in executive function, language, and memory prevent more than half of survivors from returning to their previous level of work and put a tremendous amount of stress on the individual and their family. New therapies are needed for survivors of aSAH in order to improve cognitive outcomes and quality of life. The aim of this review is to discuss the prevalence and contributing factors of cognitive deficits following aSAH, as well as areas for therapeutic intervention...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Patients with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS) typically experience higher levels of inflammation with more frequent relapses, and though patients with POMS usually recover from relapses better than adults, patients with POMS reach irreversible disability at a younger age than adult-onset patients. There have been few randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials of multiple sclerosis (MS) disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) in patients with POMS, and most available data are based on observational studies of off-label use of DMTs approved for adults...

BACKGROUND: Following its introduction in 2018, the Single-Port (SP) robotic platform has been increasingly utilized for various approaches of robotic radical prostatectomy (RARP). Despite the demonstrable benefits in enhancing postoperative outcomes, there has been limited evidence on its perioperative morbidity, especially when compared to the gold-standard multi-port (MP). This study sought to compare the perioperative morbidity between SP and MP-RARP. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed on 911 patients who underwent RARP between January 2015 and May 2023...

Burkitt lymphoma is a highly aggressive and rapidly growing B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma with heterogeneous pattern of manifestations. We present a rare case of a 39-year-old immunocompetent male with double localization of Burkitt lymphoma: gastroduodenal and ileal tract. The gastric location is extremely rare, and the association with another site is unusual with only few reports in the literature. Imaging modalities play a crucial role in correct diagnosis as it can manifest as a focal mass or as segmental wall thickening...

Human viruses and viruses from animals can cause illnesses in humans after the consumption of contaminated food or water. Contamination may occur during preparation by infected food handlers, during food production because of unsuitably controlled working conditions, or following the consumption of animal-based foods contaminated by a zoonotic virus. This review discussed the recent information available on the general and clinical characteristics of viruses, viral foodborne outbreaks and control strategies to prevent the viral contamination of food products and water...

Serratia odorifera from the time of its discovery in the 1970's had been considered a common colonizer of the skin with little pathogenic potential. Cases of human infections caused by S. odorifera are relatively rare. To date, very few cases have been reported describing primarily bloodstream and urinary tract infections. We describe a patient who developed endocarditis due to S. odorifera confirmed with a transesophageal echocardiogram. The patient was treated with six weeks of antibiotics with uneventful recovery...

Salmonellae , considered among the enteric-fever-causing pathogens, is associated with a range of human infections, including gastroenteritis, bacteremia, and osteomyelitis. Salmonella -induced mesenteric adenitis and terminal ileitis resembling acute appendicitis have been reported in the literature. Here, we present a rare case of a patient presenting with severe acute active ileitis and colitis mimicking Crohn's disease with no prior history of inflammatory bowel disease and found to have Salmonella group B bacteremia...

OBJECTIVE: Percutaneous transmural arterial bypass (PTAB) using the DETOUR system aims to create a percutaneous, endovascular femoropopliteal bypass for the treatment of long segment, complex superficial femoral and proximal popliteal artery disease. The goal of the DETOUR2 study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the therapy in comparison with pre-established performance goals. METHODS: The DETOUR-2 investigational device exemption study is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, international trial of symptomatic peripheral arterial disease patients (Rutherford classes 3-5) undergoing the DETOUR procedure for long segment (>20 cm) superficial femoral artery disease...

Agricultural production in vertical farms (VF) will play a prominent role in preventing environmental crises, its good governance and maintaining food security for everyone in the world. The ecological footprint in Guilan province significantly exceeds its biological capacity, indicating considerable pressure on its natural resources and ecosystems.

OBJECTIVE: To rigorously evaluate the impact of the percentage of parenchymal volume preserved (PPVP) and how well the preserved parenchyma recovers from ischaemia (Recischaemia ) on functional outcomes after partial nephrectomy (PN) using an accurate and objective software-based methodology for estimating parenchymal volumes and split renal function (SRF). A secondary objective was to assess potential predictors of the PPVP. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 894 PN patients with available studies (2011-2014) were evaluated...
