Unlabelled: While concerns about high-flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNC) overuse and associated increased use of hospital resources are rapidly spreading, a two-tiered approach in its use is recommended by recent bronchiolitis guidelines. However, data on its effects in practice have not been reported. We aimed to analyze the trends in use of HFNC, hospitalizations, length of stay (LOS), and intensive care unit (ICU) admissions for bronchiolitis in a tertiary care center using a two-tiered HFNC approach since its introduction in practice.

Intrapulmonary vascular dilation (IPVD)-related hypoxia has been described in severe liver diseases. We hypothesised that portal microthrombosis is associated with IPVD and fatal respiratory failure in COVID-19.

- The 2022 Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer algorithm advises against liver resection for patients with multiple small tumors (2 or 3 nodules, each ≤3 cm) in hepatocellular carcinoma.
- This study retrospectively analyzed data from over 12,000 patients to compare survival outcomes among those undergoing liver resection (LR), percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA), and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).
- Results showed that LR had the highest survival rates at 1, 3, and 5 years (89.11%, 70.98%, 56.44% respectively) compared to PRFA and TACE, indicating that LR may offer better long-term outcomes in treating early multin
γδ T cells provide rapid cellular immunity against pathogens. Here, we conducted matched single-cell RNA-sequencing and γδ-TCR-sequencing to delineate the molecular changes in γδ T cells during a longitudinal study following mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. While the first dose of vaccine primes Vδ2 T cells, it is the second administration that significantly boosts their immune response.

- * A total of 449 adult patients who underwent surgery for CRSwNPs were categorized based on how many paranasal sinuses were affected by polyps, and statistical tools were used to find links between different factors and disease recurrence.
- * Findings indicate that patients with asthma or sensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) had more sinuses involved, and higher blood eosinophil counts correlated with the severity of CRSwNP, suggesting these factors may contribute to worse outcomes.
