Article Abstract
Emergence of vancomycin (Van) resistance, and usage of its higher dose and short half-life are posing a serious concern. Slow and sustained release of Van using a nanodelivery system may overcome these problems. Arginine-α,β-dehydrophenylalanine (RΔF) was synthesized using solution-phase synthesis which self-assembled into nanospheres. Van was entrapped in the nanoparticles (NPs). and efficacy of Van-RΔF was determined using broth microdilution and the mouse thigh infection model, respectively. Van-RΔF NPs efficiently inhibited bacterial growth (), while Van alone showed limited growth inhibition in . Intravenous administration of Van-RΔF in mice with bacterial thigh infection showed enhanced efficacy (double) compared with Van alone, which indicates its high potential for further development.

Delayed Presentation of Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy in the Postpartum Period: A Case Report.
Cureus

Obstetrics and Gynecology, Royal Surrey County Hospital, Guildford, GBR.
Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP), also known as polymorphic eruption of pregnancy, is a benign inflammatory dermatosis that typically presents in primigravid women during the third trimester of pregnancy. Postpartum onset is rare and often underrecognized. We report a case of a 29-year-old primigravida with a BMI of 38 kg/mwho delivered a healthy 4 kg male infant via emergency cesarean section for fetal distress.

Introduction: Targeted infection imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis in postpartum women. This project uses 99mTc-labeled cefixime to develop a radiopharmaceutical for detecting, distinguishing, and treating infections and abscesses in women.
Method: Technetium (TcO4-) chelated with cefixime, reduced by stannous chloride, confirmed via thin-layer chromatography.
Morel-Lavallée lesion: What you need to know.
J Trauma Acute Care Surg

From the Department of Surgery, Center for Trauma and Critical Care, George Washington University, Washington, DC.
Abstract: The Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL) is a rare closed degloving injury resulting from traumatic shearing forces that separate subcutaneous tissue from underlying fascia, creating a cavity filled with blood, lymph, and inflammatory exudate. Typically occurring in regions where skin can glide significantly over rigid structures, such as the thigh, MLLs present as fluctuant, boggy, sometimes painful lesions, which result from disrupted lymphatic and vascular structures. The lesion evolves through an inflammatory cascade leading to eventual encapsulation by dense fibrotic tissue.

Introduction And Significance: Retroperitoneal mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy, typically presenting with nonspecific symptoms leading to delay in diagnosis and treatment.
Case Presentation: A 53-year-old man patient was seen with debilitating pain in the right thigh and reduced mobility, following 1 year of recurrent psoas abscesses. The physical exam revealed a mass in the right flank and a positive psoas sign.
Subcutaneous Panniculitis-Like T-Cell Lymphoma in Children: Two Case Reports.
Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol

Doctoral School, Medical University of Lublin, Lublin, Poland.
Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare primary cutaneous lymphoma derived from cytotoxic αβ T cells, clinically and histopathologically resembling inflammatory diseases of adipose tissue, particularly lupus panniculitis. It accounts for <1% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, with approximately 20% of cases occurring in children. The main aim of this paper was to present two pediatric cases of SPTCL, highlighting the diagnostic challenges involved.
