Splenic cyst complicated by non-typhoid Salmonella infection is rare in healthy individuals in the era of antibiotics. Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Livingstone causing infection of giant splenic cyst has not been previously reported.

We report a case of giant splenic cyst (maximum diameter, 21cm) complicated with Salmonella Livingstone infection, which resulted in splenic abscess, in a 16-year-old previously healthy adolescent male. The splenic abscess was successfully treated with ultrasonography-guided percutaneous drainage and antimicrobial therapy.

Infection of splenic cyst may be caused by S. Livingstone in immunocompetent individuals. This case may help clinicians to raise awareness towards splenic abscess and highlights the importance of drainage and antimicrobial agents to avoid splenectomy.

Social exclusion has far-reaching consequences that extend beyond regular activities and access to resources and knowledge; social exclusion is a major social determinant of health. However, there is a lack of evidence on social exclusion and health outcomes among India's older adults. Thus, the current study investigates the association of social exclusion with depressive symptoms among Indian older adults.

This study used information on 30,366 older adults from Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) wave-1, 2017-2018. Social exclusion scores were calculated, and two broad domains of social exclusion, i.e., exclusion from civic activity & social relations and exclusion from services, were considered in the study. The depressive symptom was calculated using the CES-D score. Using logistic regression models, the average marginal effects of selected covariates and domains of social exclusion on depressive symptoms were estimated to assess the links between social exclusion and depressive symptoms.

ts relationship to depressive symptoms among older Indians. Older health care services should be expanded in breadth while also addressing social exclusion, resulting in considerable improvements in older individuals' mental health.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a disorder of reversible vasogenic brain oedema with acute neurologic symptoms. It is a rare but serious disease that affects the central nervous system. PRES is a rare complication of acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN). High altitude can accelerate vasogenic brain oedema by increasing cerebral blood flow (CBF), impairing cerebral autoregulation and promoting vascular inflammation. We report a case of PRES induced by acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis in a high-altitude environment.

A fourteen-year-old Tibetan girl presented with progressive headache with haematuria, facial swelling, dizziness and vomiting for 2weeks as well as multiple episodes of tonic-clonic seizures for 14h. She was diagnosed with APSGN based on laboratory tests and clinical symptoms. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) revealed bilateral frontal, parietal and occipital lesions that were compatible with the radiological diaucing PRES in patients with APSGN. It is important to recognize the clinical and radiologic features of PRES, and adjuvant HBO therapy can promote rapid recovery from this condition in high-altitude areas.

Acute thrombosis of an abdominal aortic aneurysm with acute limb ischaemia is an unusual complication and is associated with high mortality. Dislocation of the intrasaccular mural thrombus could be one of the mechanisms. For the most part, acute limb ischaemia presents with absent pulses, compatible with the clinical findings, which include pain, paraesthesia, and paralysis. Herein, we report a rare condition with detectable distal pulses in advanced limb ischaemia due to poor perfusion caused by the dislocation of mural thrombus from an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

A 74-year-old male patient with underlying hypertension and chronic renal disease presented at the emergency room with bilateral lower limb paralysis after falling on his back in the bathroom an hour prior. He reported numbness and weakness of his lower limbs, which was gradually worsening, over the past week. Physical examination showed cyanotic mottling of the lower limbs with paralysis. However, the dorsalis pedis pulse was intact. Computed tation with cardioversion.

The unusual clinical presentation of detectable lower limb pulses in advanced limb ischaemia showed that poor blood perfusion related to dislocation of mural thrombus in abdominal aortic aneurysm might mislead clinicians and delay accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Semen comprises prostatic fluid and seminal vesicle fluid, and seminal vesicle fluid contains various factors such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), zinc, and testosterone, which play important roles in sperm motility. It is not known whether these factors affect erectile function. In this study, we investigated factors in seminal vesicle fluid that may affect erectile function.

After receiving institutional review board approval, we collected seminal vesicle fluid samples from 134 Japanese patients with localized prostate cancer who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. We examined the relationship between the results of the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM), erection hardness score, an original questionnaire on the presence or absence of sexual desire, and concentrations of several factors in seminal vesicle fluid (testosterone, PGE2, transforming growth factor β1, and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine), as well as the serum testosterone level.

Median participant age was 67 (range 51-77) years. Median concentrations were as follows seminal vesicle testosterone 1.85 (range 0.17-4.32) ng/ml and serum testosterone 4.60 (range 1.75-10.82) ng/ml. When the SHIM score was divided into two groups, seminal vesicle testosterone concentration was significantly increased (p = 0.002) in participants with a SHIM score ≥17, and no significant difference was observed in serum testosterone levels (p = 0.661). Multivariate analysis revealed that seminal vesicle testosterone was significantly correlated with the SHIM score (≥17 vs. <17; odds ratio 2.137, 95% confidence interval 1.148-3.978, p = 0.016).

Testosterone levels in seminal vesicle fluid can reflect erectile function in patients with prostate cancer, suggesting that seminal vesicle testosterone is very important for male erectile function.

To investigate the tumor shrinkage patterns of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with nivolumab monotherapy.

Forty-four consecutive patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with nivolumab monotherapy (81 metastatic and four primary lesions) between September 2013 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The tumor shrinkage rate of individual visceral and lymph node metastatic lesions and the primary site lesions treated with nivolumab monotherapy, as well as the association between overall survival and pretreatment tumor size, were statistically assessed.

Pretreatment tumor size for the total and individual target lesions, which included kidneys, lungs, pancreas, and lymph nodes, were not correlated with tumor shrinkage rate. The tumor shrinkage rate was found to have no significant association with pretreatment tumor size between any organ. In addition, there is no significant difference in tumor shrinkage rate between larger (>median value) and smaller (<median value) pretreatment tumor size in any organ. Finally, there was no significant difference in overall survival between larger and smaller pretreatment tumor size.

Pretreatment tumor size was not associated with the tumor shrinkage rate and overall survival in nivolumab monotherapy.

We present the 2022 annual report on the status of physicians training in Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education-accredited emergency medicine training programs in the United States.The role of nuclear medicine for noninvasive assessment of infection and inflammation is well established. Bak protein The role of nuclear medicine is limited to initial diagnosis, recurrence, and response assessment of infections and inflammations such as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, vasculitis, osteomyelitis, immunoglobulin G4-related diseases, and coronavirus disease 2019, as the specificity is affected by false positivity due to physiologic fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in specific organ and nonspecific uptake in postoperative cases. PET with fludeoxyglucose F 18/CT is a well-established modality for diagnosis of fever of unknown origin helping in optimized management of the patient.Infection imaging has been an important part of nuclear medicine practice. Infections in prosthetic joints and diabetic foot are associated with devastating complications, posing substantial challenge for both diagnosis and overall management. For many years, conventional nuclear medicine techniques have been used to frame a painful joint arthroplasty or diabetic foot infection. The various functional nuclear imaging modalities used include labeled leukocyte imaging, combined leukocyte-marrow scintigraphy, antigranulocyte antibody scintigraphy, 3-phase bone scintigraphy, and fluorodeoxyglucose PET/computed tomography, yet no single method has proved to be highly sensitive and specific and at the same time safe, simple, and time-effective.
