Leclercia adecarboxylata is a motile, gram negative bacillus in the Enterobacteriaceae family that is a rarely isolated cause of disease, despite being ubiquitous in nature. A 2019 review article identified only 74 reported cases, most often in immunocompromised patients [1]. The organism is generally susceptible to most antibiotics although multiantibiotic resistant strains have been reported. We report a case of a 62-year-old Caucasian man with multiple co-morbidities treated for L. adecarboxylata endocarditis with intravenous ceftriaxone.The differential diagnosis of low back pain is long and rarities are under-diagnosed, with problems generally simplified as lumbar vertebral spondylosis or rheumatic conditions. Abscesses of piriform muscle are a particularity worth of evaluating when specific MRI changes are detected, and the condition might be underdiagnosed leading to delays in the treatment. We describe the case of an 18-year-old male with pyomyositis of left piriform muscle, complicated with iliac and femoral vein thrombosis, that responded well to combined antibiotherapy, anticoagulants and drainage.Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy is a novel treatment for various types of hematologic malignancy. We presented a case of refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma patient who developed acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFR) from Fusarium species after CAR-T therapy. Our photos illustrated the classic clinical, endoscopic, and histopathologic findings of AIFR.Here we report a fatal and uncommon case of esophageal variceal bleeding secondary to the presence of a Tapeworm in the upper digestive tract in a patient coming back from North Africa.A 60-year-old female presented to the emergency room with fever and myalgias for four days and shortness of breath for two days. On clinical examination, she was tachypneic and blood oxygen saturation of 86 % on room air. There was an eschar of size 1 × 1 cm on the left infraclavicular area (Fig. 1). Chest examination showed bilateral interscapular crepitations. CXR showed bilateral lower zone infiltrates. Scrub typhus IgM was found to be positive by rapid diagnostic kit test, Eschar biopsy was also positive for scrub typhus by Polymerase Chain Reaction. The patient was started on doxycycline, clinically improved and discharged after ten days. Presence of eschars is considered pathognomonic of scrub typhus. Incidence of eschar varies widely from 7 % to 97 %. The main reason for low detection is eschars being missed on routine clinical examination as these are painless lesions consisting of a black scab, with an erythematous halo and minimal edema. Eschars are usually found over the covered areas of the body, such as the groin, axilla, chest, and lower back which appears a few days after at chigger-bite sites, even before the disease manifestation. This case emphasizes the importance of thorough clinical examination to look for eschar and early diagnosis and initiation of treatment while routine laboratory assays are awaited.Athletes playing beach volleyball come into contact with sand and may contract skin parasites. We present a case of cutaneous larva migrans in a 20-year-old Polish female beach volleyball player. The athlete participated in The World Tour in Asia (China, Malaysia, Cambodia) a month before. In the beginning, her skin lesions were misdiagnosed as allergic reactions and treated with antihistamines. The disease in the form of a pruritic, migratory serpiginous skin eruption on legs was diagnosed during routine medical examination at the National Centre for Sports Medicine in Warsaw. She was treated successfully with albendazole and cetirizine. read more The skin lesions resolved entirely within two weeks.

Busy and poor road infrastructure along routes to school poses high risk of traffic injury for children and adolescents. Ensuring every young person's safe journey to and from school is fundamental to achieving reductions in road injuries and Sustainable Development Goal 3.6. However, there is little evidence reporting adolescent's views about their school travel from low and middle income countries. This study aims to understand adolescent's perceptions of injury risks on their journey to school in Nepal.

We used Photo-Elicitation Interview (PEI) methods to collect data from fourteen purposively identified adolescents (12-16 years) who walk to Tribhuwan Secondary School along the East-West Highway which is known to be at high risk of crashes in Makwanpur, Nepal. The participants used a camera to record parts of their journey, which they perceived as dangerous or safe. Photographs were used as prompts during an interview afterwards. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, translated and analysed themhicle speeding and overtaking, failing to obey traffic rules and regulation -providing evidence that could be shared with the authorities to improve road safety near schools.

It has been recognized that cancer is associated with a higher risk of suicide or accidental death. Earlier studies have evidenced that patients with malignant bone tumors usually experience psychological dysfunction and physical disability following surgery, which are shared risk factors between suicidal and accidental deaths. To our knowledge, there is no large population-based study on the risk of suicide or accidental death among patients with malignant bone tumors.

This study aimed to determine whether patients with primary malignant bone tumors are at a higher risk of suicide and accidental death than the general population and to identify the demographic and tumour-related characteristics and type of surgery associated with a higher risk of suicide and accidental death among these patients.

Overall, 50,817 patients diagnosed with primary malignant bone tumors between 1973 and 1975 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The standardised mortality ratio (SMR)risk of suicide and accidental death was highest in the first year after diagnosis (SMR=2.95; 95% CI [1.86-4.69] and SMR=2.02; 95% CI [1.48-2.74]).

We first reported that patients with primary malignant bone tumors had a higher risk of suicide and accidental death than the general US population. Therefore, clinicians should pay more attention to the psychological status, physical function, and cognitive level of these survivors.
