Clostridium difficile are gram-positive, spore forming anaerobic bacteria that the leading cause of healthcare-associated diarrhea, usually associated with antibiotic usage. Metronidazole is currently first-line treatment for mild to moderate C. diarrhea however recurrence occurs at rates 15-35%. There few reports metronidazole resistance in literature, and when observed, phenotype has been transient lost after storage or exposure freeze/thaw cycles. Owing unstable nature laboratory,...
Mucormycosis is a rare and often fatal opportunistic angioinvasive infection seen mostly in immunocompromised patients, such as those with diabetes mellitus, cancer, or renal failure. Ophthalmic manifestations of orbital mucormycosis include ocular pain, periocular oedema, visual loss, ophthalmoplegia, proptosis, ptosis. Although therapy for consists maximally tolerated doses antifungal agents (e.g., amphotericin B) extensive surgical debridement, treatment remains ineffective up to 20%...
A 70-year-old woman with a bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement for endocarditis complicated by recurrent and requiring homograft root 10 years earlier had presented at 1 month after her admission pseudomonal bacteremia right-sided chest pain. An pseudoaneurysm, identified on computed tomography, was treated an ascending aorta thoracic endovascular repair using two overlapping abdominal stent grafts in the aorta. Postoperative follow-up imaging demonstrated exclusion of pseudoaneurysm...
Background Oritavancin is a lipoglycopeptide antibiotic with in vitro bactericidal activity against gram-positive pathogens indicated for use adults acute bacterial skin and structure infections (ABSSSI). Its concentration-dependent prolonged half-life provide convenient single-dose alternative to multi-dose daily therapies ABSSSI. This retrospective cohort study was conducted quantify the clinical economic advantages of using oritavancin compared other agents that have been historically...
Gun violence reached a 20-year peak in 2020, with the first-line treatment of axillosubclavian vascular injuries (SAVIs) remaining unknown. Traditional open exposure is difficult and exposes patients to iatrogenic venous brachial plexus injury. The practice endovascular has been increasing. We performed retrospective analysis SAVIs at level I trauma center. Seven were identified. Endovascular repair was five patients. Technical success 100%. early results suggest that trauma-related can be...
Objectives The goal of this study was to document the natural history celiac artery aneurysms (CAAs). Background Celiac are rare. Existing literature is skewed towards outcomes after intervention large, symptomatic but behavior untreated CAAs poorly understood. Methods This a single institution, retrospective analysis patients with CAA diagnosed by CT imaging (2015–2019) identified through an institutional radiology database. Radiologic, demographic, and follow-up data were analyzed. primary...
Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) are relatively cheap and accessible medications, commonly used by athletes bodybuilders for performance enhancement muscle growth stimulation. AAS usage has been associated with musculoskeletal injuries, such as tendon ligament ruptures, numerous other detrimental health effects. Despite these risks, individuals continue to self-administer drugs in supraphysiologic doses. Here, we present a case of male bodybuilder chronic use who developed spinal thoracic...
Abstract Background Thiopurine co‐therapy with anti‐tumour necrosis factor‐alpha (anti‐TNFα) agents is associated higher anti‐TNFα drug levels and reduced immunogenicity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Aims We aimed to evaluate the association between 6‐thioguanine nucleotide (6‐TGN) optimal 6‐TGN threshold level combination therapy. Methods performed a retrospective cross‐sectional multicentre study of patients IBD on thiopurine maintenance therapy January 2015 August 2021. Primary...
Total contact casting (TCC) is used to promote wound closure in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs); however, this technique underused today. This study aims further evaluate the efficacy of TCC a large cohort, including patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Improvements in chemoradiotherapy have rendered complex pancreatic cancers involving the portal vein (PV) amenable to resection. PV reconstruction (PVR) is an essential component. Various conduits been proposed; however, optimal choice remains unknown. Fourteen patients underwent PVR with a cadaveric descending thoracic aortic homograft from 2014 2020. The primary diagnosis was cancer. splenic ligated seven (50%). 30-day and 3-, 12-, 24-month patency rates were 100%, 86%, 76%, respectively....
This case describes a patient with permanent Bird's Nest inferior vena cava filter in the setting of spinal cord injury and paraplegia who presented epigastric pain resulting from duodenal perforation his filter. After confirming that was stable hemodynamically normal laboratory values, he underwent open exploration trimming extraluminal struts wires, leaving intact place, resolution pain. Although percutaneous removal filters is preferred for retrievable filters, this demonstrates safety...
This case describes a patient who underwent endovascular repair for an extent V thoracoabdominal aneurysm with planned coverage of the celiac artery. Following deployment stent graft, superior mesenteric artery was shuttered, and subsequently developed signs symptoms bowel ischemia. The successful retrograde open stenting resolution her symptoms. Although (ROMS) has been primarily shown to be effective in acute ischemia, this demonstrates that ROMS can used as salvage option shuttering...
