Article Abstract
Nosocomial myiasis is seldom reported in Europe, and intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired myiasis is even rarer. Here, we describe the first report of hospital-acquired oral myiasis caused by Lucilia sericata occurring in a Swiss ICU. We provide a review of all European cases of oral ICU-acquired myiasis published since 1997 and discuss entomological aspects as well as treatment and prevention of this entity.

Outcomes of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in severely injured adult trauma patients with isolated thoracic or abdominal trauma in Hemorrhagic shock.

Department of Surgical Education, Orlando Regional Medical Center, Orlando, FL, USA; Department of Surgery, Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, Orlando Regional Medical Center, Orlando, FL, USA. Electronic address:
Background: There is conflicting literature regarding mortality outcomes associated with REBOA usage in patients with severe thoracic or abdominal trauma. Our study aims to assess the benefits and negative implications of REBOA use in adult trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock with severe thoracic or abdominal injuries.
Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis utilized the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program Participant Use File (ACS-TQIP-PUF) database from 2017 to 2023 to evaluate adult patients with severe isolated thoracic or abdominal trauma undergoing REBOA placement.
Successful percutaneous retrieval of fractured umbilical artery catheter in a very low birth weight preterm neonate.

Background: Umbilical arterial catheterisation is a common intervention performed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) especially in extremely preterm and extremely low birth weight neonates. Rarely catheter fracture or breakage can occur, leaving behind part of the catheter in the aorta. A handful of cases have been reported in the literature, with the majority being managed surgically.

Purpose: Expanding high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage in resource-constrained settings is critical to bridging the cervical cancer gap and achieving the global action plan for elimination. Mobile health (mHealth) technology via short message services (SMS) has the potential to improve HPV vaccination uptake. The mHealth-HPVac study evaluated the effectiveness of mHealth interventions in increasing HPV vaccine uptake among mothers of unvaccinated girls aged 9-14 years in Lagos, Nigeria.

Monocyte Anisocytosis Can Discriminate Between Sepsis and Sterile Inflammation, but not Mortality, in Critically Ill Surgical/Trauma Patients: A Secondary Prospective Analysis.

Department of Biostatistics, University of Florida Colleges of Medicine and Public Health and Health Professions, Gainesville, FL.
Objectives Background: Monocyte anisocytosis (monocyte distribution width [MDW]) has been previously validated to predict sepsis and outcome in patients presenting in the emergency department and mixed-population ICUs. Determining sepsis in a critically ill surgical/trauma population is often difficult due to concomitant inflammation and stress. We examined whether MDW could identify sepsis among patients admitted to a surgical/trauma ICU and predict clinical outcome.
