Detecting Antibiotic Resistance in Strains of Selected Gram‐Negative Bacterial Species Using Raman Spectroscopy

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectroscopy successfully identified antibiotic‐resistant Gram‐negative strains. Resistant strains of four bacterial species were discriminated from sensitive ones with 99.1% accuracy using PLS regression. The method allows for rapid, label‐free detection of antibiotic resistance.

Therapeutic Challenges in Managing Coexisting Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Clinical Case Study

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder affecting intertriginous areas. Long‐standing HS can undergo malignant transformation into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), particularly in the perineal and gluteal regions. We report a 54‐year‐old man with severe, treatment‐refractory HS complicated by an aggressive verrucous
