- Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a serious condition linked to COVID-19 that causes severe inflammation in multiple systems of the body.
- A 13-year-old boy in Japan with MIS-C experienced a cardiac arrest and was treated with immunosuppressive therapy and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, leading to his recovery.
- This case highlights the need for prompt and effective treatment with immunosuppressive therapy and MCS devices for patients with MIS-C.
Emicizumab reduces bleeding episodes in patients with severe hemophilia A (PwHA). Little information is available on hemostatic management of severe traumatic hemorrhages in emicizumab-treated pediatric PwHA. We assessed therapeutic efficacy and global coagulation potentials in two pediatric cases of emicizumab-treated pediatric PwHA with intracranial or retroperitoneal/iliopsoas hemorrhage.

- A study investigated how singlet oxygen (O) reacts with eight different vegetable oils that vary in tocopherol and tocotrienol concentrations.
- The reaction's rate constants (k) were measured in a specific solvent at 35°C using UV-vis spectrophotometry, showing that the oils' fatty acids also significantly influence the reaction rates.
- The findings contrast with another study that measured the rate constants for aroxyl radicals, where the values were successfully explained by the antioxidants' concentrations alone.
