Proteus mirabilis: A rare cause of pneumonia, radiologically mimicking malignancy of the lung
CONCLUSION: Mass lesions suspected for malignancy should be managed with involvement of multiple medical disciplines, to ensure correct and timely diagnosis. This is to avoid miss-management.PMID:37736480 | PMC:PMC10509339 | DOI:10.1002/ccr3.7937

Abdominal Imaging Findings in Laboratory-Confirmed COVID-19 Patients: A Retrospective Observational Study
CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, the research conducted on the abdominal manifestations of COVID-19 is still limited, especially in our region. Our study showed that there are variable presentations of abdominal organ involvement in COVID-19 cases, and as such more data is required to direct choice of imaging study, protocol, and interpretation of findings to better guide patient management.PMID:37649952 | PMC:PMC10463944 | DOI:10.7759/cureus.42677

Signal detection of adverse events associated with gabapentinoid use for chronic pain
CONCLUSIONS: Our study identified expected and unexpected ADE signals in GABA users. Neurological signals likely related to indications for GABA use. Signals for immunity, mental/behavior, and skin disorders were found in the FDA adverse event reporting system database. Unexpected signals of stroke and cancer require further confirmatory analyses to verify.PMID:37640024 | DOI:10.1002/pds.5685

Understanding Chest CT Scan Usage Among Adolescent Blunt Trauma Patients at Adult Trauma Centers
CONCLUSION: While CCT may provide valuable information, clinical exam coupled with low-ionizing radiographic imaging (i.e., CXR) may sufficiently identify chest trauma after blunt mechanisms. This shift in management can potentially reduce the risk of radiation without compromising the care of adolescent trauma patients at adult trauma centers.PMID:37619987 | DOI:10.1177/00031348231198121

Palliation of Intractable Cancer-Related Pain With Low-Dose Epidural Bupivacaine
Conclusion: Low-dose epidural analgesia for cancer-related pain at end of life from malignancy involving the pelvis-perineum, rectum, or vagina-may be a viable option for patients, particularly those who wish to avoid the risk of somnolence or confusion from systemic opioids and other analgesics.PMID:37610860 | DOI:10.1089/jpm.2023.0156

Role of preoperative malnutrition and symptom severity in anorexia-cachexia-related quality of life in patients with operable pancreatic cancer
CONCLUSION: Clinicians should actively assess the nutritional status of patients with pancreatic cancer before surgery and provide symptom cluster management interventions to improve nutrition, insomnia, and pain, which is crucial for enhancing patients' anorexia-cachexia-related QoL.PMID:37494790 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejon.2023.102352

Case Report: A Parotid Abscess With Otorrhea, Drainage via the Fissure of Santorini
We report a case of a healthy 62-year-old male with no identifiable risk factors who presented with a 2-week history of progressive unilateral parotid gland enlargement and tenderness followed by subsequent otorrhea. A computed tomography scan and ultrasound confirmed a markedly enlarged posterior aspect of the parotid gland with the evidence of necrosis. The culture of aspirated fluid grew Staphylococcus aureus. Purulent fluid was then noted draining from the external auditory canal, via the fissure of Santorini. The patient was treated with antibiotics, pain management, and daily parotid massage with complete resolution ...
