Evaluation of T2 Magnetic Resonance (T2MR) Technology for the Early Detection of ESKAPEc Pathogens in Septic Patients.

Bloodstream infections (BSIs) and sepsis are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Appropriate early antibiotic therapy is crucial for improving the survival of patients with sepsis and septic shock. T2 magnetic resonance (T2MR) technology may enable fast and sensitive detection of ESKAPEc pathogens directly from whole-blood samples.

Effectiveness and safety of risankizumab in VEry severe plaque psoriasis: a real-life retrospective study (VESPA-Study).

Background: The recent introduction of biological drugs specifically targeting the interleukins involved in psoriasis pathogenesis revolutionized the therapeutic scenario of moderate to severe forms of psoriasis. Among these, risankizumab, an anti-IL-23, was shown to be effective both in clinical trials and real-life experiences. However, data on its use on very severe forms of psoriasis, defined by a Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) of at least 30, are scant.
