Medical affirmation, including gender-affirming hormones, is an essential component in the treatment of many transgender and gender-diverse youth. The risk venous thromboembolism (VTE) during testosterone therapy for care not fully elucidated.The case describes a 17-year-old male treated with who presented occlusive deep vein thrombosis right axillary subclavian veins. Testosterone level was 920 ng/dL at time thrombosis, he had no factors VTE. A complete hypercoagulable workup negative.The...
A previously healthy 5-year-old boy presented with a non-specific febrile illness and seizures. Streptococcus pyogenes was identified in his blood culture. The spinal fluid revealed minimal pleocytosis an axial computed tomography (CT) scan of the head normal. Ongoing symptoms prompted magnetic resonance imaging, which subdural empyema. Our patient diverges from few reported S. intracranial infections that there neither adjacent infection nor bacterial meningitis. In addition, we discuss...
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem and stromal cells (BM-MSCs) protect malignant from chemotherapy are important potential therapeutic targets. Isolating primary BM-MSCs for research traditionally requires the sacrifice of valuable cell populations within same sample. To avoid this, we report here a resource isolating patient-derived red blood layer ficoll gradients bone marrow aspirates, that has until now been universally discarded. This yields nearly identical to those obtained...
