    Obstetric conditions like placenta percreta and multiple pregnancies can be extremely challenging as they pose a high risk for both the mother and infants. In placenta percreta, placental villi penetrate through the wall of uterus into the surrounding organs including the bladder and carry a risk of massive maternal bleeding. Multiple pregnancies have greater complication rate than that in singleton pregnancy. Successful management of such challenges are best done by a multidisciplinary teamwork, where all members of a perinatal team are involved in decision making and management. We report the successful management of a triplet gestation associated with placenta percreta

    Introduction: Early thoracic empyema is usually treated through video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) decortication. Patient selection is important for decortication if an effective surgical outcome is required. Lung isolation techniques are required to provide anesthesia for these patients to facilitate the surgeon while operating on the affected lung. The ultimate target is to protect the non-diseased contra-lateral lung from contamination.Presentation of case: We are presenting a unique case of 20-year-old female, resident of Karachi, who was brought to the emergency room (ER) with signs of sepsis, hypotension, and multi-organ failure. She was brought to the operating room to undergo video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS) for lung abscess decortication when her medical therapy had failed. On table decision of right upper lobe resection was made and ventilation strategy had to be modified accordingly.Discussion: The main anaesthetic aim was to protect the healthy parts of the lung from the abscess. Regular suctioning of secretions during surgery via the double lumen tube (DLT) lumen on the diseased side is recommended. While performing VATS, the lung abscess got ruptured and immediate measures to isolate the lung was taken to assist with surgical resection of the affected lobe. Lobectomy can only be done once the lung was completely isolated and maintaining perfusion and ventilation of the relatively healthy lung help in managing hypoxia.Conclusion: Peri-operative management of ruptured lung abscesses required thorough pre-op evaluation, intraoperative lung isolation and ventilation, and postoperative analgesia with combined team effort both surgical and anaesthetic, are vital fundamentals to consider in guaranteeing the best outcome

    Introduction: Despite a recent increase in the representation of female authors in scientific literature, a significant gap persists concerning the inclusion of women in research. This necessitates the analysis of published literature from a gender perspective. This study aimed to provide gender distribution in authorship in the 100 most-cited articles on food-borne pathogen outbreaks from 1990 to 2020.Methods: Bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Scopus database. Two reviewers were selected to search the database. We included the 100 most-cited articles on foodborne outbreak investigations. The analysis was conducted using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 and Microsoft Excel version 2016. The citation data, including total citations, citations per year, and representation of women as first and senior authors, was analyzed in terms of frequencies, mean, median, and interquartile range. The correlation between journal impact factor and the representation of women in high-impact factor journals was determined. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant.Results: Most of the top-cited articles were published between 2001 and 2010 (n=47). The top 3 most-cited articles were from the USA. Of the total 100 articles, women were the first and last authors in 46% and 28% of the articles, respectively, reflecting a significant gender gap. However, the proportion of females as principal investigators gradually increased from 25% (n=10/30) to 52% (n=24/47) during the period 2001-2010 and to 92% (n=12/13) during 2011-2020. The USA had the highest number of included articles (n=48), and women were principal authors in 56% (n=27) of them. The lowest representation of women was observed in Austria, Denmark, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Portugal, and the United Kingdom.Conclusion: Women are under-represented in published literature on food-borne pathogen outbreaks. Although the representation of women as principal authors has recently increased, disparities still exist at the senior-author level, calling for women's advancement in academic science.Einleitung: Obwohl der Anteil von Frauen in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur in letzter Zeit zugenommen hat, besteht nach wie vor eine erhebliche Lücke bei der Einbeziehung von Frauen in die Forschung. Das macht eine Analyse der Literatur aus der Geschlechterperspektive erforderlich. Ziel dieser Studie war es, die geschlechtsspezifische Verteilung der Autorenschaft in den 100 meist zitierten Artikeln zu lebensmittelbedingten Ausbrüchen im Zeitraum 1990-2020 zu ermitteln.Methode: Die bibliometrische Analyse wurde mit Hilfe der Datenbank Scopus durchgeführt. Zwei Reviewer wurden mit der Suche in der Datenbank beauftragt. Es wurden die 100 am häufigsten zitierten Artikel zur Untersuchung lebensmittelbedingter Krankheitsausbrüche berücksichtigt. Die Analyse wurde mit SPSS, Version 26, und Microsoft Excel, Version 2016, durchgeführt. Die Zitationsdaten einschließlich der Gesamtzahl der Zitate, der Zitate pro Jahr und des Anteils von Frauen als Erst- und Seniorautorin, wurden in Form von Häufigkeiten, Mittelwert, Median und Interquartilsbereich analysiert. Die Korrelation zwischen dem Impact-Faktor der Zeitschrift und dem Anteil von Frauen in Zeitschriften mit hohem Impact-Faktor wurde ermittelt. Ein p-Wert von <0,05 wurde als signifikant angesehen.Ergebnisse: Die meisten der am häufigsten zitierten Artikel wurden im Zeitraum 2001-2010 veröffentlicht (n=47). Die 3 am häufigsten zitierten Artikel stammten aus den USA. Von den 100 Artikeln waren Frauen in 46% der Artikel Erstautorin und in 28% der Artikel Letztautorin, was ein erhebliches Geschlechtergefälle widerspiegelt. Der Anteil von Frauen als Hauptautorin stieg jedoch allmählich von 25% (n=10/30) auf 52% (n=24/47) im Zeitraum 2001-2010 und auf 92% (n=12/13) im Zeitraum 2011-2020. Da die USA die höchste Anzahl an eingeschlossenen Artikeln (n=48) aufwiesen, waren Frauen in 56% (n=27) der Artikel Hauptautorin. Der geringste Frauenanteil wurde in Österreich, Dänemark, Japan, den Niederlanden, Neuseeland, Nigeria, Portugal und UK beobachtet.Schlussfolgerung: Frauen sind in der veröffentlichten Literatur über die Untersuchung von lebensmittelbedingten Krankheitsausbrüchen unterrepräsentiert. Obwohl der Anteil von Frauen als Hauptautorin in letzter Zeit zugenommen hat, gibt es immer noch Ungleichheiten auf der Ebene der leitenden Autoren und Autorinnen, die eine Förderung von Frauen in der akademischen Wissenschaft erfordern

    Abstract Background Mutations in the Rv0678, pepQ and atpE genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) have been reported to be associated with reduced antimycobacterial susceptibility to bedaquiline (BDQ). Resistance conferring mutations in treatment naïve MTB strains is likely to have implications for BDQ based new drug regimen that aim to shorten treatment duration. We therefore investigated the genetic basis of resistance to BDQ in MTB clinical isolates from BDQ naïve TB patients from Pakistan. In addition, mutations in genes associated with efflux pumps were investigated as an alternate mechanism of resistance. Methods Based on convenience sampling, we studied 48 MTB clinical isolates from BDQ naïve TB patients. These isolates (from our strain bank) included 38 MDR/pre-XDR/XDR (10 BDQ resistant, 8 BDQ intermediate and 20 BDQ susceptible) and 10 pan drug susceptible MTB isolates. All strains were subjected to whole genome sequencing and genomes were analysed to identify variants in Rv0678, pepQ, atpE, Rv1979c, mmpLS and mmpL5 and drug resistance associated efflux pump genes. Results Of the BDQ resistant and intermediate strains 44% (8/18) had variants in Rv0678 including; two reported mutations S63R/G, six previously unreported variants; L40F, R50Q and R107C and three frameshift mutations; G25fs, D64fs and D109fs. Variants in efflux pumps; Rv1273c (G462K), Rv0507c (R426H) and Rv1634c (E198R) were found to be present in drug resistant isolates including BDQ resistant and intermediate isolates. E198R in efflux pump gene Rv1634c was the most frequently occurring variant in BDQ resistant and intermediate isolates (n = 10). Conclusion We found RAVs in Rv0678 to be commonly associated with BDQ resistance. Further confirmation of the role of variants in efflux pump genes in resistance is required so that they may be incorporated in genome-based diagnostics for drug resistant MTB
