    A 41-Year-Old Patient with a Rare Cause of Severe Abdominal Sepsis Misdiagnosed as PID.
    Case Rep Surg 2018 10;2018:9561798. Epub 2018 Apr 10.
    Department of Surgery, Dunedin University Hospital, Dunedin, New Zealand.
    Infectious pelvic inflammatory disease is a common condition and a frequent cause of abdominal pain in a young female patient. In a patient who has not completed family planning, the diagnosis is often made with a low threshold and treatment started on a low suspicion of diagnosis to avoid a negative impact on fertility. Here, we present a case of a 41-year-old woman who was misdiagnosed with infectious pelvic inflammatory disease and treated ineffectively with antibiotics when the underlying condition of her persistent abdominal pain was a midgut neuroendocrine tumor that had caused bowel perforation and formation of an abscess in the pouch of Douglas.

    Specific binding to differentially-expressed human CEACAMs determines the outcome of infections along the female reproductive tract.
    Infect Immun 2018 May 14. Epub 2018 May 14.
    Department of Molecular Genetics, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
    The gonococcal Opa proteins are an antigenically variable family of surface adhesins that bind human CEACAM1, CEACAM3, CEACAM5 and/or CEACAM6, cell surface glycoproteins that are differentially expressed on a broad spectrum of human cells and tissues. While presumed to be important for infection, the significance of various Opa-CEACAM mediated cellular interactions in the context of the genital tract has remained unclear. Here, we observe that CEACAM1 and CEACAM5 are differentially expressed on epithelia lining the upper and lower portions of the human female genital tract, respectively. Read More

    Osteoarticular or skeletal tuberculosis is a clinical manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, occurring during the lympho-hematogenous spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a pulmonary primary infection or reactivation of latent infection, years or even decades after the initial infection. Bone and joint tuberculosis is a rare disease with non-specific symptoms and radiological characteristics, often delaying diagnosis for more than a year after clinical onset. First-line hospital departments should develop a clinical suspicion when confronted with a subacute inflammatory bone or joint pathology in patients with underlying comorbidities, especially when coming from tuberculosis-endemic countries.

    The aim of this study was to investigate the value of pharmacokinetic modeling for quantifying C-choline uptake in patients with recurrent prostate cancer. 194 patients with clinical suspicion of recurrent prostate cancer underwent C-choline dynamic positron emission tomography over the pelvic region (0-8-min), followed by 6 min static acquisition at ~25 min post-injection. Regions of interest (ROIs) were drawn over sites of disease identified by a radiologist with experience in nuclear medicine. Read More
