This study aimed to examine whether marginal sinus placenta previa, defined as when the marginal sinus just reaches the internal cervical os and placental parenchyma might be >2 cm from the internal cervical os, can be diagnosed using ultrasonography (US). We identified the placenta previa cases that underwent both US and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between April 2010 and December 2018 at our institution. The diagnostic discrepancies for marginal sinus placenta previa between US and MRI were examined retrospectively. Of the 183 cases of placenta previa, 28 (15.3%) cases were diagnosed as marginal sinus placenta previa using MRI. Among them, 18 cases (64.3%) could also be diagnosed using US. The sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of marginal sinus placenta previa using US were 64.3% and 92.9%, respectively. A change in US diagnosis occurred in 10 (35.7%) cases, all of which were diagnosed with low-lying placenta previa or marginal placenta previa and did not develop any serious miserable ob not develop any serious miserable obstetrical outcomes.

MRI examination may be required to accurately categorize the types of placenta previa. Two published meta-analyses have investigated the effects of the number of injections of platelet rich plasma (PRP) on clinical outcomes in knee osteoarthritis patients, however conflicting findings were generated. We will systematically search PubMed, Embase, and China National Knowledgement Infrastructure (CNKI) to capture additional eligible studies. After screening citations, extracting essential data, assessing the risk of bias, we will use RevMan software and Open BUGS to perform head-to-head and network meta-analysis of pain alleviation and improvement of joint functionality, respectively. Knee joint osteoarthritis (KOA) is the main cause of joint degeneration in elderly, which seriously reduces patients quality of life. Although intra-articular PRP has been extensively prescribed to treat KOA, a definitive conclusion about the appropriate number of injections has not yet been generated in published meta-analyses. The present updated network meta-analysis will comprehensively answer this question. We will communicate our findings through participating in academic conferences or submiting it to be considered for publication in peer reviewed scholar journal.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder of the neuromuscular junctions that leads to fluctuating weakness and disabling fatigability. Due to difficulty in breathing caused by weakness of the respiratory muscles, patients with MG are more susceptible to pneumonia and other respiratory infections. As many patients with MG are given immunosuppressive therapy, this makes them more prone to infections. However, coinfection with 3 pathogens is very rare. Here, we report the case of a 41-year-old gentleman with MG who was receiving long-term steroid therapy. He presented with a cough with pale brown expectoration that occurred without obvious inducement, severe pain in the scapula, as well as swelling and weakness of both legs. Despite undergoing treatment, but his symptoms did not improve, prompting two additional hospital admissions over a period of several months. Bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) were performed, revealing the presence of Pne
