The investigation of the potassium and sodium ion concentration in plasma of 50 patients with acute odontogenous osteomyelitis complicated by phlegmons of the maxillofacial localization has shown the possibility of prognozing the severity of the development of the disease.
A 26-year-old male patient presented with features suggestive of osteomyelitis involving the entire left femur, hip joint and knee joint. Culture from the debrided tissue grew Acinetobacter spp. and he was treated with sensitivity based antibiotics but the symptoms did not resolve. The synovial
Blastomycosis is an uncommon disease caused by the dimorphic fungus, Blastomyces dermatitidis, often found in endemic regions of Midwestern America. It can be found in forested, sandy soils, decaying vegetation, rotting wood near water sources, and even in bird feces. Most commonly, blastomycosis
The history, clinical signs, laboratory and radiological findings of a cat with polyostotic osteomyelitis are described. A disseminated periosteal reaction involving the femur, humerus and tibia bilaterally was evident on radiographs. The joints were not affected. Diagnosis of osteomyelitis was
The use of lasers for management of benign prostatic hyperplasia has evolved greatly over the last several years. The 120-W potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser, introduced in 2006 as the GreenLight HPS, boasts a 50% improvement in power over the 80-W laser with theoretical benefit of greater
A 34-year-old man without known underlying disease was seen with osteomyelitis of the proximal shaft of the left femur. At operation, only viridans streptococci were isolated. The patient responded to a combination of intravenous penicillin G potassium and gentamicin sulfate therapy. To our
BACKGROUND
Most clinical cases of osteomyelitis in dogs involve infectious agents, especially bacteria and fungi. The characterization of these microorganisms may aid in the prevention and treatment of disease.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate retrospectively microbiological cultures
We herein report a case of primary sternal osteomyelitis caused by polymicrobial bacteria, including Actinomyces israelii. A 72-year-old man presented with a fever and precordial pain. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed peristernal fluid associated with an osteolytic lesion and a
Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease is commonly an opportunistic infection frequently found in immunocompromised individuals, but sometimes can also be found in the immunocompetent hosts, especially in East Asians. The NTM separation rate in China is increasing, which reminds us Some infectious diseases, such as infective endocarditis, osteomyelitis, and abscesses, require treatment with long-term intravenous antimicrobial treatment. Therefore, the patient is required to stay in the hospital to receive therapy, which lowers their quality of life. Establishing an outpatient
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the clinical and histologic effects of repeated intraosseous (IO) needle placement in domestic pigs and determine whether blood and serum obtained intraosseously could be used for CBC and biochemical analyses.
METHODS
5 healthy 10-week-old pigs.
METHODS
An IO needle was placed
Antiretroviral medications such as tenofovir have been associated with Fanconi syndrome (FS) usually identified within the first 1-29 months after exposure to the medication. We present a case of life-threatening FS which developed in a 37-year-old woman with HIV after 8 years of asymptomatic
BACKGROUND
Patients with diabetes mellitus, particularly those with poor glucose control, commonly experience various medical complications related to the disease (eg, renal impairment, decreased peripheral vascular circulation, suppressed immune function). Infections of the lower extremities can
