Despite its effectiveness, many patients experience post-transplant complications often leading into life-threatening conditions requiring specialized care in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). This study aims to describe clinical characteristics associated with mortality in pediatric HCT patients who needed PICU care within 100 days post-transplant in a resource-limited country.

- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is managed with biologic drugs that modify immune responses, particularly those targeting tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which are commonly used due to their effectiveness and lower cost.
- Although TNF inhibitors help many patients achieve remission, they can increase the risk of infections and may affect responses to vaccinations.
- Recent studies on COVID-19 vaccines have sparked new insights into how anti-TNF therapy influences immune responses, highlighting the need for a comprehensive understanding of T cell and antibody immunity in IBD patients.
Article Synopsis
- True poison-dart frogs are super poisonous and can produce some of the strongest toxins ever found!* -
- There are five species of these frogs, with some being very toxic and yellow, while others are less toxic and mostly black with bright stripes!* -
- Recent studies found differences in two groups of these Colombian frogs and suggested that some should be called new species based on their colors and toxicity! *
Objective: To evaluate whether community factors that differentially affect the health of pregnant people contribute to geographic differences in infant mortality across the US.
Study Design: This retrospective cohort study sought to characterize the association of a novel composite measure of county-level maternal structural vulnerabilities, the Maternal Vulnerability Index (MVI), with risk of infant death. We evaluated 11 456 232 singleton infants born at 22 0 of 7 through 44 6 of 7 weeks' gestation from 2012 to 2014.
