Unraveling a Fatal Pulmonary Embolism Diagnostic Puzzle
A recent case report highlights the complexities in diagnosing fatal pulmonary embolism (PE) stemming from unusual causes, emphasizing the need for vigilance and broad diagnostic consideration. The case underscores how delayed recognition of rare cytotoxicity can lead to catastrophic outcomes.
Probiotic safety signals for S. salivarius OSTIA SALI-10
Oral microbiome probiotic Streptococcus salivarius OSTIA SALI-10 underwent a comprehensive safety evaluation spanning genomic, in vitro, and in vivo modalities, reporting no concerning signals across standard panels relevant to dental and periodontal contexts. The findings align with strain-level qualification consistent with QPS or GRAS-like expectations and emphasize antimicrobial resistance vigilance. These results support cautious clinical translation and targeted research in oral health, including periodontal disease and halitosis endpoints.
Lung Cancer Diagnosis: Health Literacy and Chronic Disease Impact
Patients with lower health literacy and multiple comorbidities face significant delays in lung cancer diagnosis. Clinicians should proactively identify at-risk individuals and tailor communication strategies to improve diagnostic timeliness.
TAVI and Delayed Aortic Dissection Practical Management
