Bacterial wilt as a soil-borne disease was caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, and seriously damages the growth of tobacco. Integrated biocontrol method was explored to control bacterial wilt. Nevertheless, the long-term effects of the integrated biocontrol method on soil bacterial community, soil physicochemical properties and the incidence of bacterial wilt are not well understood. In this study, B. amyoliquefaciens ZM9, calcium cyanamide and rice bran were applied to tobacco fields in different ways. The disease index and incidence of tobacco bacterial wilt (TBW), soil physicochemical prop

Dorsal dermal sinus is a rare, congenital lesion found most frequently in the lumbosacral followed by the occipital regions. It is rarely localized at the thoracic level. We report a rare case of thoracic congenital dermal sinus (CDS) associated with an intramedullary dermoid cyst in a 2-year-old male child, who presented with a 3 month history of motor weakness of both the lower extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of spine showed an intramedullary dermoid cyst extending from the lower border of T4 to upper border of T7, which was connected with the skin dimple along the sinus tra

Overgrowth syndromes generally present with inherent health concerns and, in some instances, an increased risk of malignant intra-abdominal tumors, such as Wilms tumor or hepatoblastoma. There are various types of hyperplasia, but the crossed type is reported to be the rarest. We present a rare, crossed type of congenital hemihyperplasia. A six-year-old girl was referred to our clinic for leg length discrepancy and was diagnosed with congenital hemihyperplasia of the right lower limb and left upper limb. The leg length discrepancy had begun to affect the patient’s gait and stair climb

A 19-year-old man on active military duty presented with a nonhealing ulcer on his dorsal right hand accompanied by enlarging nodules in a linear distribution on his right arm and forearm (Figure 1). Approximately 1 year prior to the onset of symptoms, the patient’s right hand had been struck by a shovel while he had been conducting field exercises in the Southwestern United States. This wound had evolved into a painless ulcerated nodule (Figure 2). Subsequently, nodules had developed on the dorsal aspect of his right wrist and had progressed in a linear pattern to include his dorsal

Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome (also known as Wilkie's syndrome, cast syndrome, or aorto-mesenteric compass syndrome) is an obstruction of the duodenum caused by extrinsic compression between the SMA and the aorta. The median age of patients is 23 years old (range 0-91 years old) and predominant in females over males with a ratio of 3:2. The symptoms are variable, consisting of postprandial abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, early satiety, anorexia, and weight loss and can mimic anorexia nervosa or functional dyspepsia. Because recurrent vomiting leads to aspiration pneumon
