Neonatal Wet Gangrene With Early Auto‐Amputation in a Resource‐Limited Setting With Incomplete Etiologic Workup: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Neonatal limb gangrene with auto‐amputation is rare and often idiopathic. Early recognition, prompt referral, and thorough etiologic workup—despite resource limitations—are critical. Wet gangrene requires broad‐spectrum antibiotics, wound care, and timely surgical amputation to preserve growth plates and allow future prosthesis fitting.

Pathogenic Mechanisms of V. vulnificus and Its Role in the Development of Sepsis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Sorafenib attenuates urethral scar formation by inhibiting β‐catenin signaling in fibroblasts, which downregulates the SLC7A11/GPX4 antioxidant axis and triggers ferroptosis. This β‐catenin–ferroptosis coupling effectively suppresses fibrogenesis, highlighting sorafenib as a promising drug‐repurposing candidate for urethral stricture.

Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Treating Plantar Fasciitis

Cureus
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood derivative with an enhanced platelet concentration and can enhance the tissue-healing process naturally. Plasma with a higher concentration of platelets on activation leads to the release of various growth factors that in turn augment tissue repair and jump-start the healing process.
