: Infective Endocarditis (IE), a known complication of hemodialysis (HD), has recently been categorized as Healthcare-Associated Infective Endocarditis (HAIE). Single pathogen bacteremia is common, polymicrobial endocardial infection is rare in this cohort of the patients. We report a case of endocarditis caused by Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia), a first ever reported combination of a usual and an unusual organism, respectively, in a patient on HD. Clinical presentation of the patient, its complicated course ,medical and surgical management ,along with microbial and echocardiographic findings is presented herein. The authors believe that presentation of this case of HAIE may benefit and contribute positively to cardiac science owing to the rare encounter of this organism as a pathogen in infective endocarditis and the difficulties in treating it.

ABSTRACT Introduction Present a review of the case, management, and progress of an obstetric patient who suffered a car accident with subsequent severe blunt thoracic trauma (BTT) resulting in flail chest (FC). Case report This is a case of Hispanic female of 44 years involved in a car accident at 14 weeks of gestation, who presented with FC, sternal fracture, and severe respiratory compromise. This woman received surgical management and care in an intensive obstetric care unit management, presenting osteomyelitis as a complication, along with physical deconditioning and prolonged hospital stay, finally with an obstetric and functional favorable outcome. Conclusion Although severe BTT in pregnant patients is uncommon, it is important to highlight the appropriate medical management required for these patients in order to achieve a successful outcome, as was in this case. This is the only case report of FC surgical management in pregnancy that we have in our institution so far. How to cite this article Nieto AJ, Velásquez M, Escobar MF, Carvajal JA, Granados M.

Abstract A rare case of thoracic spinal angiomyolipoma presenting with evidence of vertebral body infiltration and concurrent epidural spinal cord compression is described. Clinicopathological correlates, aspects of radiological diagnosis, considerations for surgical management, and histopathological features denoting possible unique attributes of biological behavior for this entity are discussed in conjunction with a review of the previous literature on angiolipomas in general.
