Myonecrosis complicating uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2022 Jun 10;35(5):693-694. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2022.2086787. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTA 37-year-old woman with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease presented to our hospital with 10 days of severe left thigh pain. Physical examination revealed warmth, swelling, and tenderness of the left anterior and medial thigh. Workup revealed a mildly elevated creatinine kinase. Magnetic resonance imaging without contrast revealed diffuse extensive soft tissue edema and a heterogeneous, tubular fluid collection within the adductor magnus. Needle aspiration revealed hematoma and ...

Early-stage reconstruction of flexor pollicis longus using palmaris longus in a patient with compartment syndrome of forearm: a case report
ConclusionsPalmaris longus transfer performed immediately after injury is simple and does not require an additional surgical approach. Hence, early palmaris longus tendon transfer, which can provide satisfactory outcomes, could be considered as a potential choice for flexor pollicis longus reconstruction in patients with compartment syndrome of the forearm.

Pyomyositis presenting as myonecrosis secondary to methicillin-resistant < em > Staphylococcus aureus < /em > bacteremia in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
We present a rare case of pyomyositis presenting as myonecrosis secondary to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in a 72-year-old patient with CLL. Pyomyositis, although rare, warrants increased provider awareness and management, especially among CLL patients who pose diagnostic and treatment challenges.PMID:35991747 | PMC:PMC9373752 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2022.2078647 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 5145: Piceatannol Alleviates Clostridium perfringens Virulence by Inhibiting Perfringolysin O
In this study, based on biological activity inhibition assays, oligomerization tests and computational biology assays, we found that the foodborne natural component piceatannol reduced pore-forming activity with an inhibitory ratio of 83.84% in the concentration of 16 &micro;g/mL (IC50 = 7.83 &micro;g/mL) by binding with PFO directly and changing some of its secondary structures, including 3-Helix, A-helix, bend, and in turn, ultimately affecting oligomer formation. Furthermore, we confirmed that piceatannol protected human intestinal epithelial cells from the damage induced by PFO with LDH release reduced ...

Vegetative forms of Clostridium chauvoei trigger apoptotic and inflammatory responses on macrophages
CONCLUSION: Inflammation-mediated apoptosis of Mϕs can be a potential mechanism of evasion of the immune response used by C. chauvoei in tissues for depleting phagocytic cells at the site of infection.PMID:35931287 | DOI:10.1016/j.anaerobe.2022.102616 (Source: Anaerobe)
