Epidural Abscesses as a Complication of Interleukin-6 Inhibitor and Dexamethasone Treatment in a Patient with COVID-19 Pneumonia: A Case Report
TL;DR: A 66-year-old female patient was hospitalized with severe COVID-19 pneumonia, which led to hypoxia requiring oxygen support with high-flow nasal cannulae as discussed by the authors .
Letters to the Editor Identification of Methicillin-Resistant or Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus in Blood Cultures and Wound Swabs by GeneXpert
TL;DR: A multiplex PCR that identifies MSSA and MRSA is compared to standard microbiologic techniques for evaluating the results of blood cultures and wound swab cultures to help focus initial antibiotic therapy.
Clinical, Bacteriological and Echocardiographic Profile of Infective Endocarditis in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Northern India
TL;DR: Infective endocarditis today is a different disease from that was seen in the pre-antibiotic era, by identifying these trends; Increased median age of patients, Increased ratio of patients with advanced age, and so on.

New criteria for diagnosis of infective endocarditis : Utilization of specific echocardiographic findings. Duke Endocarditis Service
TL;DR: Application of the proposed new criteria increases the number of definite diagnoses and should be useful for more accurate diagnosis and classification of patients with suspected endocarditis and provide better entry criteria for epidemiologic studies and clinical trials.
