One of the central issues is the type of sampling used to gather data. Choosing the correct sampling method is critical to ensuring that findings are valid and can be generalized to a broader population...... ReadMore -

Infective endocarditis is a life-threatening microbial infection of native and prosthetic heart valves, endocardial surface, and/ or indwelling cardiac device. Despite technological advances, the prevalence of infective endocarditis is increasing; and its mortality has not significantly improved. Burkholderia cepacia is a rare cause of infective endocarditis. Burkholderia cepacia prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is extremely rare, with few cases in the literature [1]. Case presentation A-28-years-old man had prolonged fever for two months. He suffered central chest pain at the peak of fever; he also had dyspnea on exertion and palpitation. He had surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) mechanical) for severe aortic regurgitation (rheumatic etiology); mitral valve repair (ring annuloplasty) for rheumatic mitral regurgitation; and,.....

The phenomenon of “silent treatment,” recognized as a subtype of psychological aggression within the broader framework of emotional abuse, is a deliberate act of avoiding or ignoring another individual, often in the context of an intimate or familial relationship [1]. This behaviour involves a breakdown in communication, where one party seeks to impose a form of social isolation or ostracism on the other as an act of punishment, manipulation, or control. Despite appearing as an innocuous or even commonplace occurrence in interpersonal disputes, the silent treatment is capable of inflicting substantial psychological distress and harm [2]. While research on the silent treatment is still emerging, preliminary evidence suggests that it is a pervasive phenomenon across cultures and demographic groups...... ReadMore -

However, there are rare cases, such as in biliary abscesses caused by foreign bodies, in which the suspicion comes after refractivity to conservative treatment, and the definitive diagnosis is obtained only during surgery......
