To study the prevalence of blaVIM and blaIMP genes in metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing burn isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in relation with AmpC and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production. ⋯ We think that this is the first report on the cocarriage of blalMP and blavIM in P aeruginosa. There was also a strong association between MBL gene carriage and AmpC β-lactamase production.

Calcified fibrous pseudotumors can generally be detected as solitary masses in various regions of the body, and were first described in 1988. In this case report, we discuss an adult patient whose tumor was localized in the lung, which has not been reported in the literature before.

Comparative Study
A comparison of dysfunctional voiding scores between patients with nocturnal enuresis and healthy children.
To compare dysfunctional voiding symptom scores (DVSSs) between enuretic children and nonenuretic controls and to investigate associated factors that may affect DVSS. ⋯ The DVSS is a rapid, easy tool for determining abnormal voiding parameters in children. Children with NE had higher DVSSs, which was significantly affected by the father's educational status and the child's UTI history.

Case Reports
An unusual case of sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation: radiological and histopathological analyses.
Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a rare benign primary vascular lesion of the spleen. Its etiology is still debated. Radiological characteristics are less known, although there are some reports regarding histopathological features ofSANT. ⋯ Microscopically, it was composed of angiomatoid nodules separated by central stellate fibrous stroma and fibrous septa. The contrast enhancement pattern was described as centrally hypovascular, radially progressive centripetal vascular contrast enhancement, called a spoke-wheel pattern in previously reported cases. We present CT and MRI findings and their correlation with histopathological findings of a case of unusual symptomatic SANT.
