Article Synopsis
- Some diseases called type I interferonopathies happen when our body wrongly senses certain RNA, leading to too much of a chemical called type I interferon.
- Researchers found that people with these diseases have fewer special immune cells called regulatory T cells.
- In experiments with mice, they saw that messing with the genes that help control T cells caused big problems in the immune system, like serious autoimmune diseases.
Risk of Bleeding After Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy in Patients Using Antithrombotic Drugs.

Background: The rate of using antithrombotic (AT) drugs is frequently high in patients who require percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). The aim of this study was to determine whether the risk of bleeding after PEG increases in patients whose AT drugs were discontinued according to the European Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guidelines (warfarin for 5 d, low molecular weight heparin for 24 h, DOAC for 3 d, and clopidogrel for 7 d).
Patients And Methods: Data from 243 patients, who underwent PEG tube placement and received AT drugs and 206 patients who did not between 2018 and 2021 in our hospital, were evaluated retrospectively.
Systemic inflammation is established as part of late-stage severe lung disease, but molecular, functional, and phenotypic changes in peripheral immune cells in early disease stages remain ill defined. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major respiratory disease characterized by small-airway inflammation, emphysema, and severe breathing difficulties. Using single-cell analyses we demonstrate that blood neutrophils are already increased in early-stage COPD, and changes in molecular and functional neutrophil states correlate with lung function decline.

Methods: The study population consisted of children aged 9 to 12 years admitted to the Child Health and Diseases Department in a Faculty of Medicine in Turkey. The sample of the study consisted of 242 children (Buzzy = 60, ShotBlocker = 61, DistrACTION Cards = 60, control = 61) who met the patient selection criteria and agreed to participate in the study.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the levels of pain developed during intramuscular injections to the laterofemoral and ventrogluteal regions in children.
Methods: The study population consisted of all children aged between 7 and 12 years who presented to the pediatric emergency clinic of a hospital. The sample consisted of 62 children who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study, and the children were randomly assigned to each group (laterofemoral n=31, ventrogluteal n=31).
