Median nerve entrapment causes paresthesia, changes in sensitivity, and loss of strength in the fingers, in addition to causing loss of hand dexterity. The diagnosis of pronator teres syndrome is complicated, due to its similarity with other neuropathies of the median nerve. So, it is important to emphasize the need for a physical examination together with imaging tests, especially ultrasound, for its correct diagnosis. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman who complained of tingling for ten years in the proximal third of the left forearm at rest that worsens on exertion and weakness if not moving. On physical examination, she has no limitation of movement but refers to a feeling of weakness and numbness in his forearm. Ultrasonography demonstrates compression of the median nerve between the ulnar and humeral heads of the pronator teres muscle, a finding confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and electroneuromyography. The patient was treated with physiotherapy presenting improvement of symptoms after 45 days.","PeriodicalId":35490,"journal":{"name":"Prague medical report","volume":"126 1","pages":"42-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143538093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biofilm microorganisms exhibit heightened resistance to adverse environmental factors. The objective of this study was to ascertain the biofilm-forming potential of clinical strains of anaerobic microorganisms isolated from the periodontal pocket of patients diagnosed with periodontitis. The study of biofilm formation was carried out by the method (Djordjevic et al., 2002) using flat-bottomed 96-well polystyrene microtitration plates. Biofilm formation was determined by staining with 0.1% crystal violet. The study utilised clinical strains isolated from the periodontal pocket of 61 patients diagnosed with grade III chronic periodontitis. Of these, 30 strains belonging to three bacterial species were selected for further analysis: Porphyromonas asaccharolytica, Slackia exigua, and Schaalia odontolytica. Among the Porphyromonas asaccharolytica strains, 80% formed biofilm; the figure for Slackia exigua was 90%, and for Schaalia odontolytica - 80%. In total, 25 strains were capable of biofilm formation. The results indicate that the isolated strains of Porphyromonas asaccharolytica, Slackia exigua, and Schaalia odontolytica exhibited a significant capacity for biofilm formation (83.3% of the strains formed biofilm), particularly Slackia exigua strains, which exhibited the highest number of strains with high biofilm formation ability - 5 (16.6%). It is also noteworthy that these microorganisms exhibited a moderate persistence frequency (16.4% each), of the total sample of microbial biocenoses from inflammatory periodontal soft tissue areas.","PeriodicalId":35490,"journal":{"name":"Prague medical report","volume":"126 3","pages":"144-150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145087530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined and investigated the implementation of novel approaches in molecular diagnostics, precision medicine (focusing on the genetic and molecular characteristics of cancer), immunotherapy (including immune checkpoint inhibitors), radiation therapy (such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy, CyberKnife, brachytherapy, and proton therapy), nanotechnology, tissue engineering, and the application of artificial intelligence. According to the results of the study, it is worth noting that the use of these diagnostic and treatment methods has significant potential in the field of oncology. For example, molecular diagnostics can detect mutations in the cancer process and optimise treatment. Kosovo is actively considering the use of molecular biomarkers to inhibit cell growth, and Albania has introduced a new molecular classification that helps to predict the occurrence of complications. Genetic research in Kyrgyz Republic is studying the impact on the immune system of the tumour, apoptosis and treatment prognosis. Albania is also making parallels in the immune system of pregnancy and endometrial cancer to predict abnormal pregnancy and find new methods of cancer diagnosis and treatment. The problem of this study is the lack of empirical, clinical research and testing, and the toxicity of some diagnostic and treatment methods. Further research should focus on developing new methods of cancer treatment and diagnosis, as well as optimising and improving existing methods through empirical and clinical trials.","PeriodicalId":35490,"journal":{"name":"Prague medical report","volume":"126 2","pages":"63-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144650776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Streptococci are among the most common causes of infective endocarditis. However, Streptococcus vestibularis has rarely been associated with human infections, typically affecting patients with underlying conditions such as immunosuppressive diseases, valve replacement, rheumatic heart disease, and hemodialysis. We present the case of a 26-year-old man who presented with fever, unanticipated weight loss, and fatigue. Although no typical risk factors for infective endocarditis were identified at admission, transesophageal echocardiography revealed a bicuspid aortic valve with calcification, paravalvular aortic abscess formation, and vegetations on the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. Blood cultures grew S. vestibularis, which was initially sensitive to benzylpenicillin but developed emergent resistance on the third day of the antibiotic treatment. Subsequently, ceftriaxone therapy was initiated, and blood cultures became sterile on day 10. The patient eventually underwent aortic valve replacement. We report the first known case of native aortic and mitral valve endocarditis caused by S. vestibularis, accompanied by a paravalvular abscess around the native aortic valve, in a patient who had no typical risk factors for infective endocarditis, except for a bicuspid aortic valve.","PeriodicalId":35490,"journal":{"name":"Prague medical report","volume":"126 1","pages":"26-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143538064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hereby describe 2 cases of severe rhabdomyolysis with falsely low total CK activity. Case 1 was a 61-year-old lady with underlying diabetes mellitus diagnosed with severe rhabdomyolysis secondary to severe pneumonia. Case 2 was a 77-year-old man with underlying diabetes mellitus diagnosed with severe rhabdomyolysis secondary to recurrent pyogenic spondylodiscitis. Both cases showed unexpectedly low total CK activity (<7 U/l N: 26-192 U/l). Post-dilution procedures showed markedly elevated total CK activity for case 1 (18,364 U/l [1:11]) and case 2 (15,217 U/l [1:11]). Unfortunately, both patients succumbed despite optimized medical treatment due to multi-organ failures. Measurement of CK in blood is considered as a diagnostic marker for rhabdomyolysis and its severity. Most of the laboratory nowadays measures total CK activity using enzymatic coupled with spectrophotometry method. However, substrate depletion can occur in severe rhabdomyolysis in which creatine phosphate is consumed by high concentration of CK in sample before the kinetic measurement is initiated, leading to factitiously low total CK activity. Sample dilution can be done to obtain the accurate total CK activity, avoiding result reporting error and possibility misdiagnosis of rhabdomyolysis. Good communication between clinical and laboratory personnel is vital to prevent the error and safeguard patient management.","PeriodicalId":35490,"journal":{"name":"Prague medical report","volume":"126 3","pages":"162-166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145087565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
