Infective Endocarditis Caused by Abiotrophia defectiva: A Unique Case Complicated by Mitral Valve Perforation

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Abiotrophia defectiva, a nutritionally variant streptococcus, represents a rare yet serious cause of infective endocarditis (IE), accounting for 1%–2% of the total IE cases. It affects native valves in 10% of patients, and it is implicated in catastrophic complications.

Host–Pathogen–Vector Continuum in a Changing Landscape: Potential Transmission Pathways for Bartonella in a Small Mammal Community

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
This study focuses on Bartonella spp. (a Gram‐negative bacteria) in small mammals and their ectoparasites within a rainforest human‐use landscape. We found that a high proportion (40.56%) of the tested small mammals across five species and two sites carry Bartonella, with prevalence being positively correlated with aggregated ectoparasite load. Despite

Percutaneous Pulmonary Valve Implantation In Native Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Using Myval™ Without Pre‐Stenting

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation was introduced two decades ago as a low‐risk alternative for patients previously operated with conduits presenting RVOT dysfunction. Recently, Sapien valve was approved for use in the pulmonary position but this valve cannot be used for RVOT larger than 29 mm.

Morphological Effects on Bacterial Brownian Motion: Validation of a Chiral Two-Body Model [PDF]

arXiv
During bacterial swimming, thermal noise inevitably affects their motion, while the flagellum not only propels the bacteria, but also plays a crucial role in enhancing the stability of their forward direction. In this study, we aim to validate the effectiveness of a previously established chiral two-body model for simulating bacterial Brownian motion ...

Diagnosing and Preventing Q Fever in Regional New South Wales, Australia—A Qualitative Exploration of Perspectives of General Practitioners

Australian Journal of Rural Health, Volume 33, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Objective To qualitatively explore the perceptions of general practitioners in regional New South Wales, Australia, on diagnosing, managing and preventing Q fever. Setting Q fever is a prevalent zoonosis in regional New South Wales, but diagnosis may be missed as patients have symptoms similar to influenza or COVID.

Association of Anaesthetists guidelines: the use of blood components and their alternatives

Anaesthesia, Volume 80, Issue 4, Page 425-447, April 2025.
Summary Background The administration of blood components and their alternatives can be lifesaving. Anaemia, bleeding and transfusion are all associated with poor peri‐operative outcomes. Considerable changes in the approaches to optimal use of blood components and their alternatives, driven by the findings of large randomised controlled trials and ...

Systematic review and meta‐analysis of vancomycin therapeutic level for treatment of vancomycin‐sensitive enterococcal infections

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 91, Issue 4, Page 1250-1262, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Evidence on the optimal targets of vancomycin for treating other Gram‐positive infections apart from methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is lacking. This review aims to identify the recommended vancomycin therapeutic level for favourable clinical outcomes among patients infected with vancomycin‐sensitive enterococcal ...
