Early diagnosis is often missed due to the lack of typical clinical manifestations.\u0000Case Presentation: A 64-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes was transferred to the emergency department for cough and expectoration with shortness of breath. A CT scan revealed gas formation in the bilateral renal pelvis, bilateral ureter, and bladder cavity. Urine bacterial cultures showed Escherichia coli and Streptococcus gallolyticus. The patient’s bladder was drained, and she was administered antibiotics, insulin, and a non-invasive ventilator. The gas disappeared completely, and the patient recovered uneventfully.\u0000Conclusion: This is the first reported case of Escherichia coli combined with Streptococcus gallolyticus infection in EC and EPN. More attention should be paid to EC and EPN in diabetes patients. Early conservative treatment is effective.","PeriodicalId":93523,"journal":{"name":"Asploro journal of biomedical and clinical case reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141923903","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}

However, there is currently a lack of predictive indicators for CLBP-CI. Previous studies have shown that routine blood indexes have predictive value for Alzheimer’s disease, but their relationship with CLBP-CI remains unclear. This study aims to explore the correlation between routine blood indexes and provide evidence of disparities in chronic pain and cognitive impairment between two groups of individuals with low back pain, as well as establish the foundation for longitudinal experimental studies aimed at developing effective interventions for cognitive impairment in individuals with chronic low back pain.\u0000Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at West China Hospital, Sichuan University. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was conducted to divide patients into the CLBP-CI or CLBP-nCI group. Statistical analysis was performed to examine the differences between chronic low back pain patients with cognitive impairment and those without cognitive impairment. All statistical tests were conducted at a significance level of α=0.05 for two-sided testing.\u0000Results: The prevalence of chronic low back pain with cognitive impairment in this study demonstrates age-related disparities, with a higher prevalence observed among older individuals (P=0.009). A statistically significant difference in white blood cell count was observed between individuals with chronic low back pain and cognitive impairment (P=0.004).\u0000Conclusion: Age and white blood cell count may serve as influential factors in the development of chronic low back pain with cognitive impairment. This finding can aid healthcare professionals in implementing early intervention and treatment for individuals experiencing this condition.","PeriodicalId":93523,"journal":{"name":"Asploro journal of biomedical and clinical case reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141835985","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}

Surgery is a common treatment for AS patients. Patients with severe AS usually have difficulty with ventilation or intubation. Therefore, airway management should be carefully evaluated, especially in patients with severe cervical deformities. Anesthesiologists must fully and carefully evaluate the airway in these patients.\u0000Case Presentation: A 49-year-old woman with AS suffered from a severe spinal deformity that required surgical treatment under general anesthesia. The patient was monitored for vital signs and adequately oxygenated. Lidocaine was used for cricothyroid puncture and throat anesthesia. The feasibility of tracheal intubation was assessed using a visual laryngoscope to expose the glottis under full surface anesthesia. Finally, a #7 enhanced tracheal catheter was successfully inserted after conventional sequential induction. The surgery was successfully completed, and the patient was discharged 10 days after surgery.\u0000Conclusions: Anesthesiologists should fully and carefully assess the presence of a difficult airway in patients with AS, whether it is difficult to ventilate or intubate.

The ASA classification presently serves as a primary assessment standard globally. In response to prevailing clinical challenges, we propose enhancing the preoperative assessment for elderly patients undergoing painless gastroenteroscopy. This enhancement involves incorporating the Frailty score, bedside ultrasound, and bedside laboratory results alongside the ASA classification, to establish a comprehensive assessment system. This holistic approach aims to monitor patients’ fluid balance, electrolyte levels, and blood glucose changes, facilitating precise interventions and optimized anesthesia strategies. The ultimate goal is to diminish perioperative adverse events, especially those related to the cardiovascular system, thereby enhancing prognosis, outcomes, and patient satisfaction among the elderly.\u0000Methods: This study is a randomized controlled trial conducted at a single center. It includes 204 patients scheduled for painless gastroenteroscopy. Eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to either Group A or Group B. Pre-anesthesia assessments will be conducted twice – during the preoperative visit and upon entry to the endoscopy center on the examination day. Evaluation parameters will encompass the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS), bedside ultrasound measurements including inspiratory IVCDmax, expiratory IVCDmin, and calculation of the inferior vena cava collapse index (IVC-CI). Additionally, serum electrolyte (potassium) and blood glucose levels will be measured. Patients in Group A will receive specific interventions based on predetermined criteria. The primary endpoint is anesthesia-related adverse events. The measurements will be performed perioperatively, post-treatment, and at 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days after the end of treatment.","PeriodicalId":93523,"journal":{"name":"Asploro journal of biomedical and clinical case reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140451566","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}

After fully abstaining from drinking and fasting (more than 12h), conventional anesthesia was induced, and after the patient’s spontaneous breathing and consciousness disappeared, the patient was assisted with mandibular support with both hands and mask pressure. The induction process was smooth. When preparing for intubation, a large amount of yellow fluid was found in the patient’s mouth. Intubation was performed immediately after suction.
