Introduction: There is significant uncertainty regarding the role that anaemia or red blood cell transfusion (RBCT) plays in the development of gut injury in preterm infants. This study evaluated Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) together with a range of known biomarkers of gut inflammation to identify their relationship with anaemia and RBCT.
Method: A prospective observational study of preterm infants born at <30 weeks gestation was conducted from birth until either 36 weeks post conceptional age or discharge home.
Importance: Recent evolutions in clinical care and remote monitoring suggest that some acute illnesses no longer require intravenous therapy and inpatient hospitalization.
Objective: To describe outcomes of patients receiving care in a new, outpatient, virtual, home-based acute care model called Safer@Home.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort analysis, conducted from September 1, 2022, through August 31, 2023, included 2466 patients treated at a safety net hospital in Los Angeles County for 10 core illnesses and 24 other acute illnesses for which patients are commonly hospitalized.
Objectives: To investigate the utility and effectiveness of a school outreach programme in areas of lower socioeconomic status to improve understanding of common endocrine topics and the medical profession.
Methods: Two secondary school outreach sessions were conducted in July 2022. Students were invited to attend lectures delivered by medical professionals and engage in poster-making sessions using the knowledge they had gained throughout the day.
Article Synopsis
- Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) pose a significant risk to patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), with current treatments failing to improve outcomes, highlighting the need for new therapies that target the tumor's immune environment.
- Researchers examined the immune microenvironment in NF1-associated tumors, using various techniques to analyze how immune cells infiltrate and respond to these tumors.
- Results showed that malignant progression involved increased infiltration of specific immune cells, particularly tumor-associated macrophages, linked to worse patient outcomes, indicating a potential for therapies that can enhance anti-tumor immune responses.
